Blessings to your dearly departed brother. I am sure the love you had for him is always alive in your heart. In honor to those that we love, it is best to honor what they believed and loved, that way they remain alive.

One of my favorite friends and best friends in my life. I always felt safe with you, Jay and you always tried to give me such good advise. I was just too crazy to take it. So many laughs and good times. Highschool was a good time (maybe too good?) and most of that is because you and Jamie were in my life. I could always be myself with you and will never forget you. Love Suzanne

I think of you every day, Jay. We all miss you! Remember you are loved!

I met Jay and Jamie when I was a pretty young dude and worked for BarbaRosa's cactus for a few years in the early 90's. I want to give a big THANK YOU for teaching me how to tie the best knots ever (I still use today), for showing me the beautiful scenery of my home State of Arizona that I may have never seen. Thanks for showing off your savy business skills. Thanks for the employment for several years. Thanks for the friendship. I'm sorry I haven't kept in touch the past few years. Rest in Peace... Mr. and Mrs. Mathews.

Jay, my brother, you will be missed so very much! I'm so glad I had those last days with you! Those memories will be held close to my heart. May your new journey be peaceful and fulfilling. I love you!

Jay, you will be sorely missed at our family gatherings.  We jointly celebrated many birthdays because they were only four days apart.  My photo albums are full of photos taken at these events.  You and Jamie are gone way too soon but the love that you shared will last forever.

Don Stephenson, Sr. (Gilbert, AZ)

Jay , as with Jamie you are gone too soon.Rest in peace and may we see again on the other side. Love Tammy

Jay, old friend, your passing so soon after Jamie shocked and saddened us all. You're with Jamie again now, in paradise for eternity.  May peace and happiness bless your soul.  See you again in the afterlife brother.
