Jonathan Parke Rohrer

Jonathan Parke Rohrer, 71, of Clifton Park, New York, entered the presence of his Lord on June 22, 2026, after a year-long battle with cancer. Born on November 24, 1954, in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, it is there that he will be laid to rest alongside generations of loved ones who preceded him. Jonathan was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend. He married his beloved wife Sharon Erickson Rohrer in 1976 and together they shared more than 50 years of marriage marked by faith, constancy, and deep companionship. For nearly five decades, Jonathan worked diligently at Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory (KAPL) spanning 1977 until 2025. He was a faithful member of Clifton Park Community Church (CPCC), where his service reflected a humble and enduring faith. Jonathan loved serving others in practical ways, especially by fixing their computers. He was self-reliant and could fix almost anything he needed to, and despite his computer fluency, he eschewed technology in favor of collections of 3x5 cards to organize his thoughts and to-dos. Jonathan is survived by his wife, Sharon; his son, Justin, Justin’s wife, Rebecca, and their children, Marten, Grant, and Marisol in North Idaho; his son, Nathan in Florida; his sister, Rosalind Christenson and her husband, Tim in California; his brother, David Rohrer in California; his brother, Daniel Rohrer and his wife, Susannah in Pennsylvania; and his brother, Steve Rohrer and his wife, Jemi in Japan. Those who knew Jonathan will remember his kindness, his humility, his integrity, and the many quiet ways he served the people around him. Above all, he will be remembered as a man of faith who trusted in Jesus Christ alone for his eternal salvation. His family takes comfort in the truth that he is now at peace in heaven, free from pain, in the presence of his Savior. He leaves behind a legacy of love, humility, service, and faithfulness that remains vibrant in the memories of those who knew and loved him. Family and Friends are invited to attend Jonathan’s Service at Willow Street Mennonite Church, 399 E. Penn Grant Road, Willow Street, PA 17584 on Wednesday, July 22, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. Interment will follow the service in Willow Street Mennonite Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial donations be made to either Northern Frontier Camp, Indian Lake, NY, and/or Consider the Lily, Gilbert, AZ in honor of Jonathan. Your generosity will help these ministries continue the work that Jonathan and Sharon have found meaningful.
