"As we remember the beautiful moments shared with Jonnie, let us celebrate a life well-lived and a legacy that will forever be etched in our hearts.
"Jonnie may be gone from our sight, but his love, laughter, and memories will live on.
"Rest in peace, dear Jonnie. You will be dearly missed, but never forgotten [dove and broken heart emoji]."
In 2004, he was selected among thousands of applicants to present A Place in the Sun on Channel 4.
He filmed over 200 episodes as he helped British house hunters achieve their dream of buying a place abroad.
But after he was diagnosed with cancer, Jonnie claimed bosses dropped him from the show.
He told The Sun that Freeform Productions "paid me off for the rest of the season and didn't renew my contract" after the company claimed they could not get insurance.
Jonnie leaves behind wife Jess, his eldest son Rex, and twins Rafa and Cormac.
