Funeral Director
In loving memory of Jonasa Jang - beloved dad, grandad, great-grandad, brother, uncle, friend and soldier - who sadly passed away on 12th July 2024. It is with such heavy hearts that Tony, Joanna and Maria, along with all of his extensive family across the world and his friends, say goodbye to him.
Whether you knew him as an island boy, a cheeky young man, a proud soldier and member of the 212 club, a loyal and committed friend, or just as the 'party boy', you will no doubt remember Jonasa by his generous heart, his love of life and his huge smile. This is how he would want to be remembered.
Please do submit any favourite photographs and leave any messages. They will be treasured.
Dad's funeral is on Friday, 16th August at 1pm at Southend Crematorium and we hope you can join us afterwards from 2 - 6pm at The Boundary, in Garon's Park. We would prefer no flowers, please. However, please feel free to donate to The Royal British Legion either via the link on this page, or at the end of the service.

I was apprehensive of the future and unsure of myself when I turned up having left home(Fiji) for the very first time. The story of your journey from the islands inspired me. Your guidance and counsel drove me. My successes are in no small part down to your guidance and advice.
