On and off the field you were a beautiful force Jay with the ability to make anyone smile. You are greatly loved and missed. I can’t help but laugh at the great times we had joking around playing ball, playing cards and going on little adventures. Then I start crying because you were taken too soon from us my friend. Thank you for being such a great friend Jay. I know your spirit will always be with your loved ones. We have a great angel looking out for us.

I love you so much Ygee. I will forever miss you and pray for your daughter. You will forever be remembered every time I play. -Leesha

1yr ago we found out we were blood , After that we got super close , like we always knew we were related. Always had my back .  I can still hear your voice in my head. Telling everyone we are cousins .  We promised each other that we would stay close to the family. We came to my house and spent the night . The following morning we had a tournament in cat city . My promise to you was to keep your brother close and your kids.  I always spoke about you and talk our mess and you tried to punk me , ok you did just a little bit. You said yup you are my fam.  A part of me dead , when i got the news. That night plays over and over . You and I probably made people , sick and tired of us.  All you would say is this is my lil cuzzin. I said how if we were the same age. We started laughing. My heart is crumbled into small million pieces and im just numb.  Thank you ygee for all the love you have shown to ray and the kids and myself . I love you forever and i am grateful for the one yr we known that we were blood cousins.  I will forever be grateful cousin

I knew Victor since I was 14… He was my forever friend! I just knew he was going to always be here! My last memory… a few weeks before he passed I got to give him a facial. I got to show him my passion and he took the time to show me all his rings and bats! All the gear he had and how happy he was! That’s how I want to remember  you… Happy!

In Loving Memory of Jay
Remembering you, Jay — a father, son, brother, and dear friend close to my heart.
Every hug you gave showed love; every talk, every joke filled the room with joy.
Your presence could light up any space.
Now, the memories replay like waves — never a dull moment, always filled with love and affection.
I will always love you.
You will always be missed Jay.

You will always be remembered! Love You Kid! Your favorite words to me "You got to Swing it Kid!

This is the last time I saw you.  I’ve known you since you were like 20 cuz…..we will always be family all the shit we been through.  Stepping up strapped locked and loaded to deal with the disrespectful nigga at Peccys house….all the tournaments we played.  Almost winning worlds at NCS but getting roster checked.   I love you nigga.  Para siempre

Our hearts are broken, you’ll never be forgotten Son!  We, love you forever! I’m glad we took the family to the Niners game. Last year. If I’d only known the future, I would’ve made it happen more often.  This year will be different without you smiling and laughing with the rest your brothers in the limo, I will  miss  your laughter and all the serious talks about your future, we had at the office.   Legends never die, you just move on to another place before we all get there!  Love you may rest in peace!  Pops

19 years of knowing you and almost 17 years of parenting, words cannot express the hurt I feel and the hurt of Rico's little broken heart. Rest well Jay 💔😔

I’ll miss you and your craziness as always joking around on the phone. You will be missed truly. Thank you for being there and looking out for my brothers, Larry and Tamu. You’ll always be with us in this life and into the next. We love you lil brother may you rest for now. 
—-always, Tayo big sis.

This is one of my favorite pics of "Jay" as we called him. He would always say that this "Denver Bronco" bat was his Signature ONYX bat because of how easy it was for him to "whip" his hands through the zone and hit lasers through the infield.
