Jonathan releases a statement

A week after his wife’s tragic death, Jonathan released a lengthy and heartfelt statement:

“Over the last few days, there has been a lot of speculation over what really happened surrounding the death of my wife, Deven, and I want my voice to be heard. Over the past decade, my wife has been very very sick. She had a serious mental illness and her addiction was a side effect. I loved her with ALL of my being. When she was her true self, she was an amazing wife, amazing mother and amazing friend. Deven had a huge heart, and she would never intentionally hurt her children or anyone that she loved. She was an incredibly nurturing, giving, loving and hilarious person. She was full of life and joy, and she would do anything to share that with those around her”

Jonathan further said he tried to hide what was going on for so long to protect his wife and his wife’s struggles were the key reason he was a public mental health advocate.

He also added:

“I want her story to inspire people to reach out for help and not be afraid or hide their illness. She wasn’t well enough to understand how sick she really was, and she wasn’t able to get the help for herself that she really needed.”
“I’d give anything for my kids to have their mother back. I have comfort in knowing that now she has found freedom from her illness, and she is finally at peace.”

Jonathan then went on to promise his late wife that he would take care of the two sons she had left behind and that he would,

“teach them the good values you wanted them to have so badly, and to break the cycle of abuse we both experienced as kids.”

He then made further promises:

“I’ll do everything I can to make your dreams you that you had for the future come true in your memory. The tattoo down your back, the poem I wrote for you when we started dating, said, “Even in death, I’ll be by your side my love”, in German. I swear one day with you by your side when my ride here on earth is over. I love you, Luber.”
