JOHNATHAN’S STORY

Johnathan Douglas Mondt was a true warrior! He was diagnosed with cancer (T cell lymphoblastic lymphoma) at the age of 18, but still managed to go to work at Napa Auto Parts every single day. Even after getting chemotherapy on his lunch breaks, he would still get right back to work. Johnny beat his cancer at 21-years-old and just a few months later, he met his beautiful wife Cheyenne McCoy who nicknamed him Puffin. The two got married October 24, 2015 and shared two beautiful children together (Draven and Maleena). Johnny loved working on vehicles. He ended up becoming a heavy-duty mechanic for Hycroft Mining when he was 28 and absolutely loved his job. On his days off, Johnny would end up working on his truck or putting car stereo systems together for his friends.

He always went above and beyond for those he considered his friends, but most of all his family. If you needed help with anything, he would drop what he was doing and help. Even if Johnny was tired from work, he always made time for his wife and children to make sure they had a smile on their faces. He had one of the biggest hearts around and everyone who knew him loved him dearly. Johnny was the youngest of three older brothers, James, Michael and Stephen. His three older brothers ended up opening up a garage in honor of him and named is Mondtster Garage and even dedicated a bay with a toolbox and photos of Johnny just to remind everyone, even though he’s passed away, he’s still with us.

Johnny was one of the best people to walk this earth and not a day goes by where we don’t all think of him because he was one of the greatest men to come into our lives. He would never consider himself a hero by any means, but his family sure does because of the donation he was able to make after his passing. He, without a doubt, would consider this legacy an honor and to be able to ride on the Donate Life Rose Float such a meaningful experience. Even though Johnny is no longer with us, we know he is always watching over his family.
