Man with autism survived with help from the homeless community, hoping something similar is happening for JH.

“He was moving through various parts of the Salt Lake Valley, and that he managed to survive in extremely cold conditions,” Lori Beckwith wrote on her Facebook post. “What we do know is that he received small acts of kindness along the way that helped keep him alive.”

Throughout the search, Lori Beckwith wrote, people experiencing homelessness consistently tried to help, sharing sightings and showing “a level of compassion that was deeply moving.”

I've been thinking about Jonathan a lot lately with Christmas approaching.

There was a News Nation article that was posted in May, and one quote from the article has stayed with me.

"For now, his family waits, knowing the young man who still waits eagerly for Santa Claus each year would never leave the safety of his home on his own."


Article dated May 25, 2025

Wherever he is now (and hopefully he is still alive) does he know that Christmas is near, and is he hoping that Santa Claus will find him? 😢
