The recent passing of Paralympian Jonathan Wentz, 21, has left an enormous hole in the heart of the equestrian community. For anyone wishing to honor Jonathan Wentz with his family, a Celebration of His Life will be held on October 6, 2012. The Celebration of Life is scheduled at 2 p.m. at Grace Bible Church located at 11306 Inwood Road, Dallas, Texas 75229. For those interested in donating to Jonathan’s memory, the family has set-up a Scholarship Fund in his name at the United States Para-Equestrian Association. Jonathan was an advocate for the sport and was dedicated to helping grow the discipline as a whole.
