TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) – More than two weeks after Jonathan Fabian was found dead in his residence on Mission Road<\/a>, his family still isn\u2019t sure what happened to their loved one.<\/p>\n

Investigators have not said how the 58-year-old died, but a reward of up to $5,000 <\/a>is now being offered for information that leads to an arrest.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want Tallahassee and the world to know that whatever information you have, tell us, give us anything,\u201d said Germaine Dvorak, who is Fabian\u2019s younger sister.<\/p>\n

Dvorak and her fraternal twin, Genevieve, had been rebuilding their relationship with their brother.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t get to have phone calls to him. We don\u2019t get to give phone calls to him. He\u2019s just gone,\u201d Dvorak said.<\/p>\n

Jonathan Fabian, known to his friends as Jon, moved to Tallahassee around 2018, his family said. They described him as a hard-working person who loved to help people. He was a painter and carpenter.<\/p>\n

While his sisters are appreciative of the work from the Tallahassee Police Department, they\u2019re hopeful someone will come forward with information that can help.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust think about us. This is our brother. This was our last living sibling. We have each other, but people don\u2019t think about stuff like that. We\u2019re so disposable in life, and our family is not disposabl,e and I will fight, and I will figure out who did this to him,\u201d Dvorak said.<\/p>\n

For Genevieve, she\u2019s left wondering who would want to harm her brother.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can forgive them for what they\u2019ve done, and I do forgive whoever did this. I just want to know why,\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n

If anyone has information about the crime, call 850-574-TIPS (8477).<\/p>\n
