Jess Jonassen father: Meet Ray Jonassen, age, profession, cause of death
Ray Jonassen, Jonassen’s devoted father and the man she credits with having had the greatest influence on her cricket career, passed away Wednesday, 10th February 2021, aged 63 years. After a long battle with cancer.
She describes her fondest cricket moments as the ones with her dad.
In an interview with ICC-cricket.com she said, “For me, it was being in the cricket nets with my dad up in Rockhampton and we would be up there and be in the nets for hours and hours.
He would bowl every type of delivery at me to bat, and then it would be my turn to bowl to him. I guess that would be my first and even some of my fondest memories.”
Ray and Jess were very close.
