Jonathan Edward Sears, 78, of Houston, Texas and formerly of Buda, Texas joined his Lord and Savior in heaven on March 31, 2026, surrounded by his loved ones. He was born on August 29, 1947, to John and Catherine Sears in Houston, Texas. He married Deanna Lehman Davis on January 27, 1978, in Houston, Texas, and were married 46 years prior to her death in 2024.
He held different careers, one of which was as an ordained minister, while he obtained his bachelor degree from Houston Baptist University, and continued his schooling, becoming a Physician’s Assistant in 1994. He thoroughly enjoyed helping people. He and Deanna, while living in Buda, Texas, were members of the Manchaca Baptist Church where they were very active. In his free time, he enjoyed his church family and teaching Sunday School, and being married to Deanna. They were always together, holding hands. You never saw one without the other close by.
