Jimmy "Jay" Sewell, Jr.

Jay Sewell passed from this life to the next in the early morning hours of October 2nd, at the Columbus Hospice House. He passed peacefully in his sleep after spending his last days surrounded by cherished family and friends.

Jay was loved by many. He would give you the shirt off his back. He loved cooking and was known for his BBQ all over town. He worked for many years in the HVAC community. Jay was an active member of his church, Gentian Baptist.

The most important thing in life to him was his children and grandchildren. They were his pride and joy.
