My memories of Jay are those of sweet childhood memories, hot humid days, laughter, and family all around us. I remember everyone talking and telling stories and our lives were filled with so much love and kindness. We had the best childhood around thanks to our parents, aunts, uncles and cousins.
Jay always had a smile on his face and I loved being around him. After reading the thoughts of people in his life I can see that he went on to become a great father and husband. I'm not surprised. I know it's going to be so hard for his wife and kids and Eleanor to live without him. When I feel that void from my mom and dad I think of their life in heaven and I'm so happy for them, it helps me to get past my grief. I'm certain right now Jay is in the arms of his Bill and Lisa and in the presence of God. So proud to call him my cousin, and looking forward to spending eternity with him.

The Jarretts in FL are thinking of you all today as you celebrate Jay's life.
I remember when Jay took time out of his teenage life to take me and my little sister to the movies. We were dying to see The Dark Crystal. He let me listen to his records and even made cassettes for me to take home.
At the time I thought he was so cool!!! And now besides being cool, I realize he was also kind generous. Many teenagers wouldn't want to have been saddled with little kid cousins. But he gave us wonderful memories.
Thank you, Jay. Rest In Peace.

Since we have lived across the street from you for more than 15 years, I can say Jay will be greatly missed. He was always willing to help, from backing a trailer in the driveway when I couldn’t do it, replacing a water pump at the last minute when all of the kids and I were leaving to go skiing, to getting a large snake out of the yard and of course, for being a great mentor for Hayden! He will surely be missed.

My sincere thoughts and prayers go out to Monica, Cheyenne, Ciara, Eleanor and Sean at this time of tremendous loss of Jay. I'm thankful to have known Jay my whole life as our families have been close friends always and we shared many wonderful times together over the years. I know my older brother Kelly will sincerely miss Jay because they were Best Friends. Jay was a very quiet, thoughtful, caring, sincere, smart, and very generous guy. He was always liked helping so many people and took time to offer great advice of any kind to anyone that needed it. He helped me numerous times in my life and for that I am so thankful. Many of us were hoping for recovery and praying often for God to heal Jay of his illness...God chose to heal him by welcoming him into heaven on December 7th, 2018. Jay truly touched the lives of many people in his life in such positive ways and always treated people in a Christ-like way; and was a true friend to anyone who wanted to be his friend. Jay was such a devoted and loving son, husband, father, and friend and I will dearly miss him as so many others will also. In our sadness of his passing, let's remember to celebrate his wonderful life always and to be thankful for Jay and the time we shared with him while he was here with us.
With heartfelt sympathy & prayers,
Love, Deron Grafton

Jay, I feel like I know you as your mom has talked about you all these years, and said what a wonderful son you were. What fun you all had together fixing up the house and doing things together.All the chores she had for you
I have been praying for you and believing in a miracle, but everything is in God's timing.
We do not know what the plans He has for us, but whatever it is we know it's for our best.
You are so lucky now to be up there in heaven and being with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We all want to be there and you just went ahead of us, but one day soon we will all be together and be able to celebrate. There will be no more pain and no sorrow. Nothing but love and being with our families.
My dearest sympathy to your mom, Eleanor to your wife and girls and to your brother Sean and the rest of your family. You certainly will be missed by all and they will be lost without you. You'll always be in their heart, mind and soul.
With deepest sympathy
Love Joy

A lot of people don't get to meet their heroes. I was fortunate to have been related to mine. I was born his nephew but then adopted as his brother, although he may of always thought of me as his nephew, I will always think of him as a brother. Jay would always make me laugh by either telling a funny story or do an impression of some sort, he was good at that. When I was a child he would give me great advice to help keep me out of trouble, and some about what to do if I was going to cause trouble, lol. Jay was always ready to help out anyone who needed it. He loved his family and would always make any family event better just by his being there. Everyone knew when Jay was there he was going to tell a funny story or give some sort of helpful advice about a shortcut u could take to fix your problem. He was the smartest man I ever knew. He was an amazing family man, always put his family first and loved them very much. He always put his best foot forward in everything he did. He was very admirable in every aspect of his life. I loved him very much and always will.
