Loved this man. Loved how he lit a room, how he clearly adored his family and those they loved. He was the surprise baby of my generation of cousins and we cherished his addition to us all. As we aged, I naturally saw him less as we older cousins moved on and out, but never once was it anything but a special moment when we were all together….so much because of his funny sense of humor. oh, how he brought such joy to our Holiday parties. He physically reminded me of his Dad. yet he had his mom’s quick wit and funny tongue.
It’s wrong he’s gone…. just wrong…………………such a void in our family. So sad. My heart aches for Lee, their children and grandchildren. I know only to well what Jeff, Jan and Steph feel by losing their brother. My hugs and love to you all.
May Jay be greeted by those gone before him that he loved and valued.
I extend my deepest condolences and keep everyone in my prayers 🙏, I am remembering growing up and having family functions in Aunt Dorris’ basement and Jamie always being the funniest guy in the room
Sincerely Keith Davies
I will miss you forever Dad. I love you so much.
I’m so sorry to not hear about this loss sooner. I would have liked to attend jay s services. We went to HS together and crossed paths many times over the years. Jay was always with a huge smile and hug. My thoughts are with his family. I wish you fond memories
