The boy was born on July 27, 1977 in the capital of Ireland and received the name Jonathan Michael Francis O'Keeffe at birth. Since he was born with a heart defect and prematurely, the doctors did not give the child a chance of survival, and the parents rushed to christen the baby.

The parents of Mary Geraldine and John O'Keeffe divorced three years later and the mother was left alone to raise 4 children - Jonathan, Jamie, Alan and Paul. Grandmother also took care of the grandchildren.

Jonathan during his school years was known as an inveterate bully and truant of lessons. The boy was only interested in games and communication with friends. For regular truancy at the age of 16, the young man is kicked out of the last classes, and he gets a job on a farm. Here, the young shepherd also lacked enthusiasm for work, but a fluke opened up great prospects for Jonathan.
