Jonathan Mavunga—Keniston Housing mourns the loss of Jonathan Mavunga, their dedicated caretaker, who left an indelible mark on the community. Jonathan’s passing earlier this year has deeply affected those who knew him at Darrick Wood and Tarling Close, where he worked tirelessly for 16 years as a caretaker and cleaner. Known for his warm spirit and willingness to help, Jonathan’s friendly greetings and cheerful attitude brightened the lives of residents.
Following his passing, Keniston Housing has received a heartfelt outpouring of appreciation from residents who remember Jonathan as a “thoroughly lovely gentleman” and “always smiling and cheerful.” In one moving tribute, a resident shared, “One of the first people I met when I moved in, always very friendly, helpful, and just a thoroughly lovely gentleman.” Another added, “Jonathan was a lovely man, always smiling and cheerful. He always said hello and had time for a quick chat; he will be sadly missed.”
To honor Jonathan’s memory, Keniston Housing has initiated a memorial fundraiser, aiming to place two benches at Darrick Wood and plant a tree at Tarling Close, reflecting the community’s respect and gratitude. Residents and friends have already begun contributing to this meaningful tribute. As of today, kind donations include contributions from Barbara Eburne (£5), an anonymous donor (£25), Paul Jardine (£10), Denise Fosten (£20), and Ann Marks (£20).
Keniston Housing expressed its thanks to those honoring Jonathan’s legacy, noting that “it was a privilege to have Jonathan as part of the Keniston team.” The community remains united in preserving his memory and is appreciative of the collective support shown.
We extend our deepest condolences to Jonathan’s family and friends during this difficult time, and our thoughts are with them as they remember his life and contributions.
