Mr. Jonathan V. Lassiter

Jonathan “Man” Vance Lassiter, 47, of Norfolk, Virginia passed away on January 18, 2025 in Jacksonville, North Carolina. Born on June 14, 1977, in Norfolk, Virginia to the late Johnnie Vance Lassiter Sr and Mary Louise Anthony Lassiter. Jonathan “Man” mainstay recollection will reside in the hearts & minds of his daughter Jayniah Lassiter-Barnes, 2 stepsons and their mother. Educated in the Norfolk and Virginia Beach public school system, Man went on to work for many years at Superior. Man, (Big John to his coworkers), was an extremely hard & dedicated worker which he adopted from his parents. He was known for being tough and a hot head at times, but his willingness to help anyone in need, especially his family; a trait that was deeply ingrained in his character. Man was the pillar of strength in his family, often seen as the muscle, the big brother, the best uncle and the one with a scatological vocabulary. All of those things earned him the nickname “Man.” Despite his tough exterior, those close to him knew him as a kind-hearted man who would go above and beyond to support his loved ones. Eternally welcoming Man are his parents, Johnnie and Mary Lassiter, his auntie Dot, his grandmothers Hattie and Vene, his grandfather, Herman Sr and his two sisters Janet Anthony and Eleanor Parker He is survived by his brothers Johnnie Lassiter Jr (Lorri), Tony Lassiter, Jayson Lassiter (Tonya), and Richard Lassiter (Ronata), his sisters ShaRonda Lassiter and Hope Lassiter-Hunter (Ken), 4 special cousins/sisters Dana and Joy Anthony, Crystal Mccleese (Curtis) and Lakeisha Biggs. His beautiful nieces Leia & Laila Hunter, JhaTia & JhaKayla Lassiter, and Jazmine Watson. His handsome nephews Donta, Jordan, Caleb, Jireh, Jacob, and Johnnie Lassiter. Along with Aunts, Uncles, great nieces and nephews and thousands of cousins and friends. Man’s passing leaves a void in the hearts of all who knew him, but his memory will live on through the kindness and strength he exemplified. May his legacy of compassion and generosity continue to inspire those who were fortunate enough to know him. #LastNameLassiter The family would like to express their gratitude to the funeral services, relatives, and friends who have offered their support during this difficult time. Jonathan/Man/BigJon will be dearly missed but never forgotten
