Memorial video (slideshow) about Jonathan Brandis. That’s “Close your Eyes” from the BTVS soundtrack, and an original piece called “Take Care J-Dog” from his Requiem of 2004. This was my very first video, named after the comment Jonathan’s mother put on the back side of the memory card she sent to anyone who sent the family a condolence. The video is so deeply personal and elicits so much emotion that even this much later, it still is a tough thing for me to watch. The second portion is attempting to show that Jon’s legacy continues, even after his death, and that, as it says, “no light that was born in love can ever be extinguished”. Rest in peace, my friend.
what happen to this gorgeous man that he had to go my mom tells me about him all the time.so sad;(
Just don’t go…
@jonzfriend oh – the jon is an actor thing…actor’s are notorious for delving in mental things they shouldn’t>they jus can’t help it…=)
What a joy to find such clear tihninkg. Thanks for posting!
@jonzfriend Jon was/is an actor…and those parts of him he never shared…somehow got in the way…depression-well>in my eyes it is a thought that shouldn’t exist…you live in Hollywood…you should go to the Museum of Psycology on Sunset…across the street from Blessed Sacrament…there you will see the misery of pharmaceuticals and their inventors……………………………….good luck-be healthy.You will see Jon again.=0) you will.
@JokerHAHA07 …hmm…sometimes people do lose thought…of the right thing to do…thel make mistakes…that’s human nature…this mistake couldn’t be fixed…find good thoughts…good people and enjoy ur family and friends…my nex prayer-i tell’em wat u said…=)
@Ashtastic83 …hmmm-substances are the cause of chemical imbalances…I don’t believe in depression…thoughts we have control over…If history has taught us anything about bad thoughts…it’s that they can be changed…doesn’t mean everyone is damned for mistaking a mistake…Jon knew he erred…but he’s waiting…his spirit is good…it’s not long b4 family and friends get the surprise of an eternal lifetime…and it isn’t that long b4 everyone gets to try it again…luvuJGB.=)
I serahced a bunch of sites and this was the best.
Uneblivebale how well-written and informative this was.
this video made me cry. I should be studying for my math exam instead Jon is on my mind so I’m watching videos. Time to crack the book. My exam is in less than a few hours. Jon’s worth it all though. Although, He’d kick my arse for NOT studying.
@1vhefner A lot of stupid ignorant ppl think that being biracial or that others of mixed blood are “disgusting” “gross” etc etc but I think its cool your biracial…Like me Im kwakiutl Indian and Blackstone Cree, btw I dont think Jonathan wouldve looked at you like you were a freak or something, He most likely woulda thought your gorgeous…Him and Tatyana went so well together:) Even they got looks of disapproval for being in a relationship with each other but they didnt care:)
that was beautiful.
@Ashtastic83
I understand I’m just being proactive. enough rumors exist about Jon that it’s very easy for someone to say…”I read that he was an addict on…”, so I ALWAYS shoot those things down. Nothing personal!
@jonzfriend Im very sorry if I worded that wrong? I wasnt trying to say he was an addict & was just stating my own personnal demons w/ alcohol which has made my depression worse. I am sober now though & dont even smoke. Im not sure what eats me up inside & the causes are endless, difficult, & different for everyone who has to experience it.
@Ashtastic83
Depression, okay, addiction, not so much. JB was even leery about aspirin.
If you count the addiction to the fame he so much wanted to disdain, but the loss of which was only felt when it was gone, then maybe I can agree.
A lot of people felt that they’d lost something they couldn’t quite describe but that was integral to their lives. I still don’t know exactly what “that” was.
I miss him so much!!! I myself can relate 2 depression & addiction. Im so sorry you lost your love Tatyana Ali! Greatest sympathy!
my birthday is 12 days before his…he was my fave actor. i’m glad so many people are remembering him…
@jonzfriend Jon will always be deeply missed. It’s as painful today as they day he did what he did.
@JokerHAHA07
You are certainly not alone in feeling that you lost someone close.
I have no explanation for how people reacted to Jon’s death – but I’ve seen up close that he affected many so deeply that it’s shocking to see how much it mirrors the feelings of those who knew him personally.
He is still deeply missed.
i remember watching his movies as a kid and i wanted to be just like him, i copied his hair style and the way he dressed… girls everywhere were obsessed with him, he could probably have any girl he wanted…thats why its so hard to understand his death, how could he not find happiness with his god given gifts ?? i feel like i lost a best friend
I cant comment THIS WAS so cool to him tks for that
I still miss him
Will you send me the pic of the graduation please? thesailingburd@hotmail.cojm
