Jonathan was born on Sept. 13, 1981, in Oneonta, to parents Gary and Karen Robbins.

Jonathan grew up in West Laurens and Oneonta. He graduated from Gilbertsville-Mount Upton Central School in 2000. He lived the majority of his life in the Oneonta area.

He is survived by his father and mother, Gary Robbins and Karen Robbins Ryder;
three siblings, Jordan Robbins and fiancé, Amanda Chase, Jessica Robbins and Jeannine Engelbrecht and husband, Eric;

grandparents, Frank and Joyce Harkenreader;

A lifelong sports enthusiast, Bubba loved to play all sports. Since early childhood he could always be found at the Oneonta Boys Club, local gyms, basketball courts and playing fields. Jonathan was also a passionate spectator and he loved rooting for his favorite teams, the New York Knicks, Atlanta Braves and Philadelphia Eagles.

Jonathan loved to spend time with family and friends at the family camp in Middlefield. "The Property" was Bubba's home away from home.

He truly loved the companionship of his dog, Sherman, who was faithful to the end.
