Jonathan S. McCullouch

In Loving Memory of Jonathan S. McCullouch, Junior (February 2001- August 2025)

Jonathan, age 24, of Tupper Lake, New York, passed away unexpectedly on August 27, 2025. Born on February 18, 2001, Jonathan was a loving and kindhearted soul who is greatly missed by
his family and friends.

A graduate of Tupper Lake High School (Class of '19), Jonathan was actively involved in his school community. He was a proud member of the Red & Black Players club, where he starred in several school productions, with his most significant roles in Footloose. Other favorites included Shuddersome: Tales of Poe, and his participation in Anything Goes sparked his love for theater. His passion for music was just as strong--he started playing the saxophone, then he moved on to
piano, and later percussion in the school band, as well as baritone in the school choir. Jonathan also ran with heart and determination for a season as part of the cross-country team his freshman year, maintaining his signature smile despite often finishing last.

Whether on stage, on the field or in the band room, Jonathan brought creativity to everything he did. Beyond his school activities, Jonathan was a talented artist whose sketchbooks were full of imagination. He had a natural gift for drawing, often creating detailed characters and vibrant scenes that showed both whimsy and depth.

His love for video games, especially the world of Pokemon, 5 Nights at Freddy's, Binding of Isaac and others, was more than just a hobby; it was a source of happiness, creativity, and connection. Whether battling with friends, collecting cards, or designing his own creatures, Jonathan's enthusiasm was contagious.

He is survived by his father, Jonathan McCullouch; his younger sister, Kaitlyn; his grandmother, Charlene McCullouch; and his aunt Michele McCullouch (Chris Pilkington) in Maryland, as well as Regina Jordan, Leona Young, and his uncle Robert Nelson Young in Missouri.

A celebration of Jonathan's life will be held on Friday, October 3rd, at 2:00 PM at Tupper Lake Municipal Park.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Red & Black Players in Jonathan's honor.

Jonathan's light will continue to shine in the hearts of all who knew him.

The McCullouch family has put the trust of their loved one in the care of the Frary Funeral Home, Tupper Lake.
