Jonathon's comments to the CBC echoed what he said at his parent's funeral. Per the BBC, he had nothing but praise for Barry and Honey. Jonathan stated, "They completed a circle that encompassed everything important about what it means to be human." He added, "Neither one perfect but together wholly balanced and exceptional."
A 2008 article from Toronto Life reported that Jonathon, the Sherman's only son, is a graduate of Columbia University. The Globe and Mail reported in 2008 that he received a degree in industrial engineering and operations research. Upon graduating, he briefly worked for his father's company, Apotex. At 25 years old, Jonathon became the CEO of Steelback Breweries.
According to The Globe and Mail, Jonathan purchased the Canadian brewery in 2008 for $8 million after its previous owner failed to pay its debts to Barry Sherman. However, this business venture was a failure and The Toronto Star states that Steelback Breweries shut down in 2010. Although Jonathon has not publicly said anything negative about his father, another article from The Toronto Star notes that emails show that the two may have had a strained relationship towards the end of Barry's life. Much of this tension stemmed from Jonathon's beliefs that his father was mishandling Apotex's finances and not investing enough money into his business endeavors.
