Marlborough – Jonathan Dutchka, 27, died Wednesday, Dec. 7, 2011, suddenly and too soon. “You were an angel before God took you.”
Mr. Dutchka had a love for sports and he contributed to the collective roar of New England sports teams. He had a big heart and was surrounded by family and friends who were blessed by having him in their lives. His embrace delivered warmth, his smile and words brought laughter and joy.
