Been meaning to post this, but was waiting on the autopsy to determine the cause of his death, which is still mystery. If you do not know him, he is the guy behind the LRG brand. He  is a big part of the reason why most of your favorite  streetwear brands out right now exist. I am honored to have lived and experience through the cultural shift that Jonas help create. Definitely one of the pioneers to the huge shift in this young culture we live in today.

Although I was only loyal to his brand through the first couple years of LRG’s start, always respected him and looked up to him as he was the first asian entrepreneur within the ‘urban’ and skate apparel industry I seen and heard of when I was young. For some reason his nationality made a big difference. With all the skate brands and hiphop brands at the time, I didnt know if anyone of them was asian or filipino or from anywhere around that area. Before LRG, entrepreneurs in the urban and skate industry I seen were all different kinds of race, but asian or of an asian descent. Being young, I seen it this way… if an asian descent cat can do it big in this urban and skate industry… why cant I? Much respect and may he Rest In Peace!
