in the Williams Island Owners’ Associations and 7000 Building, either as President, chairman or representative. He had a ready smile and enjoyed a good joke and therefore, was a “natural” as president of the 100-man comedy club known as The Lunch Bunch of Aventura for 17 years. More recently, Jonathan has been the Chairman of the Aventura Community Services Board, helped with political campaigns and was an Aventura City Commissioner at the time of his death. Jonathan also involved himself at Florida International University, first as chair for the scholarship committee and later as the co-chair of the Vice Provost’s Council.

Anyone who knew Jonathan, knew he was a man passionate about many things. From politics to sports, he was willing to debate and defend what he believed was right. He had a love of movies, tennis, swimming but most of all family and friends. Jonathan leaves his wife of 24 years, Jo-An and daughter, Emily Akino and grandson Ethan in the US, as well as a brother, Simon and a cousin, Jane Souter-Frost in England and countless close friends on both continents.
