Jonathan Allen Hart of Manteca passed away May 17, 2023. Jon was born in Tracy, Ca. on February 1, 1963 to parents Robert & Louise Hart. 

   He is survived by his wife Michelle Hart, father Robert Hart, sister Yvonne Zarate, son Jake Hart, step-sons Ernest and Wayne Sumner, six grandsons Benjamin, Dillon, Jacob, Izik, Mason and Ryan; and granddaughters Hailey and Savannah; and his loving dog Oliver A. Hart.

   Jon lived in Manteca most of his life, working with his dad on the farm. He gained popularity attending Manteca High, where he developed and maintained lifelong friendships.  A strong man, Jon stood tall with an unassuming quiet nature and great sense of humor; he enjoyed a good prank. He appreciated hard work and had numerous skills. He was generous with his time, space, and knowledge. His close relationship with his dad is where he understood the complexities of life and appreciated things of the past. They collected old artifacts together. He enjoyed farming, fishing, gaming, mechanics, heavy equipment, and any tool or gadgets. He loved it all and ran it all, well.  His positive, curious, and intelligent nature was wise and respected. Jon’s presence is heavily missed by his large family and

many lifelong friends. We love you Jon. Thanks for everything.
