Jonathan M. Benoit

HOLDEN – Jonathan M. Benoit, 27, passed away at home surrounded by his loving family on Friday, June 30, 2023, after a struggle with brain cancer.

Jonathan was diagnosed with Glioblastoma back in February 2022. Even with his 18 Month battle, he took on this challenge in his typical carefree fashion. He always had a positive attitude, even up to the end by not letting cancer define who he was.

He was predeceased by his father, Mark Benoit of Worcester.

Jonathan was born in Worcester and graduated from Shepherd Hill Regional High School in Dudley and earned his bachelor’s degree from New England Institute of Technology in Rhode Island. He was a network engineer for Comcast.
