There was a point in high school we were best friends. Jay was never afraid to tackle anything, but always had a heart. This is just one more tragedy this family didnt need. Paul, Beth, and everyone else. You are in our prayers. Jay, thanks for the friendship. You will be dearly missed.

Just wanted to let all of you know you are in our prayers. I will always remember the little boy who hung around the shop and stayed close to his Pappy. May God bless you and keep you during this time and a special prayer for Paul. Hang in there big fella.
Love ya'll,
NC

Paul and Beth Ann, We cannot begin to imagine the feeling of your sorrow. Please know that we are praying for you and your family in this tragedy. We'll always remember Jay as the precousious little boy that really loved his parents and grandparents. Always with a cute twinkle in his eyes when he smiled. Love Uncle Larry and Aunt Rita
