Jonathan Lamar Stoddart Sybliss

August 7, 2006 ~ October 24, 2026

Jonathan Lamar Stoddart Sybliss was born on August 7th, 2006 in Bronx, NY to Gail Stoddart and Artnell (Max) Sybliss, who both migrated to New York from their homeland of Jamaica. Though Jonathan’s very early years were spent in The Bronx, he spent most of his life in upstate in Wallkill, NY with his parents, grandparents, sister, and his dog Spencer.

Jonathan spent much of his younger life playing outside and spending time with his sister and his grandparents who were home with him everyday. During his early life, he fostered his love for video games, especially Mario Kart, Super Mario and Super Smash Bros, which he played with his sister daily in their youth; it was quite rare to see him lose a game to her. Jonathan also found his passion for drawing, and grew to become an incredibly skilled artist, much like his grandmother Claire. Jonathan spent his teenage and adult years mastering those same loves he discovered as a child, as well as discovering a passion for creating music, and making YouTube videos.

Jonathan attended Ostrander Elementary School, John G Borden Middle School, and graduated from Wallkill Senior High School in June of 2024. Earlier this year in January, Jonathan began his career as a welder at Precision Switchboard in Hawthorne, NY. He quickly found success in his role and found great passion in doing so until his untimely passing.

Jonathan was quiet, incredibly humble, and never failed to leave a room without making others in it laugh, smile, or generally feel more at ease. Jonathan often spoke out of turn, but this was to his benefit. It made him all that much funnier and relaxing to be around. He made those around him remember to take things less seriously, and to live in the moment.

After a long and courageous battle with his mental health illnesses, Jonathan passed on October 24th, 2026. He is survived by his mother Gail, his father Artnell (Max), his sister Savanna, his beloved dog Spencer, his paternal grandparents Clara & Neville, and many aunts, uncles, cousins, extended family members and friends that all loved and cherished him. He was preceded in death

by his grandfather Oswald, and his grandmother Joyce (Claire), who passed earlier this year. Jonathan is now resting in eternal peace, more than likely playing video games or making a new beat to rap over. The pain of his early departure is immeasurable, and he will be dearly missed, but the impact he had on our lives, and his memory will live on forever.

A viewing will be held at Church of God of prophecy on Saturday, November 14th from 10:00am ~ 11:00am with a funeral service beginning at 11:00am located at 477 1st Street, Newburgh, NY.
