Jonathan Paul Groh

September 18, 1967 - May 11, 2021

Jonathan (Jon) Paul Groh of Bellport and surrounding areas passed away peacefully on the morning of Tuesday, May 11, 2021. Jon was born on September 18th, 1967 in East Patchogue, New York. Jon loved to make people laugh. His presence was always welcoming as he made everyone feel happy and loved. Jon had several hobbies near and dear to his heart, including riding on Fire Island beach in his FJ Cruiser, surfcasting, and catching big stripers while boat fishing with his brother Matt and nephew Andrew in East Moriches and in Montauk. Jon also loved going to Riverhead Raceway and attended occasional NASCAR races. He adored animals as he had a caring heart. Jon also enjoyed the time he spent living in Goffstown and New Market, New Hampshire, fishing with his buddies and riding Harley Davidsons and dirt bikes, as he was fond of every aspect of New Hampshire. Being that he cared deeply for his family, Jon left a great job as a University of New Hampshire line bus driver and trainer to return home to Long Island to care for his ailing Mother and then his ailing Father during his Dad’s final years. Jon also loved his cousins, nieces and nephews and all children. He found peace and spirituality attending church services most recently at St. John’s in Bohemia and the Centereach Bible Church and was very connected to his faith. May he rest in peace. Jon will be forever remembered and loved by his brother William Matthew Groh and his sisters Wendy J. Farr (Lee) and Suzanne D. Ashkenazy. Jon also leaves behind on the Groh side of the family cousins (Richard Groh (Helena) and Paul Groh (Pamela Lee), nephews Richard Paul Groh and Daniel Groh, and niece Leah Groh.
