Jonathan Alexander Newlin Jr

Pocket full of sunshine

What Jonathan was like

Jonathan worked locally as a construction laborer. His love of sports led him to play baseball at Las Palmas Little League in National City, CA, where was an All-Star four times. His teammates lovingly nicknamed him “Chuckie” for his bright red hair and the moniker stuck. While attending Hilltop High School in Chula Vista, he earned Rookie of the Year honors in water polo. He also played basketball for their junior-varsity team, making many friends along the way. Jon was a very loving son, grandson, nephew, brother and cousin. Words used to describe him have included funny, happy, goofy, carefree, and “pocket full of sunshine.” He enjoyed playing baseball, basketball, water polo, video games, and music – especially hip-hop. He was very close to his brother, Louis Miguel Sotelo
