Im so very sorry and pained to hear of Jays passing. Much too young with so much kindness and love to give.
I didnt know Jay very long but greatly appreciated his passion and love for family as well as his comforting soul. He had a very special innocent teddy bear charm that is rare and will be very missed.  I wish i would have had a chance to say goodbye.. Big bear hugs and snorty kisses from "piggy"♡
We will miss you dearly- 


I didn’t know you long... two years maybe? I met you through Danny Mac, out at the favorite lounge. You had the best energy I have ever come across! I enjoyed meeting you and my god, listening to you sing! I can’t remember much since the brain surgeries, but I remembered you... and the few times we hung out... including meeting your sister... who was just as friendly and awesome as you!! So young, but you touched so many lives. We’re saying good by to one of the good ones! Just for now, we’ll see you again... someday...💖
Thanks for being a friend... 
love Danny Mac and Jess

Oh Jay.....where do I start? You showed Jack and I love when we needed it the most. The time you spent with us was precious and we will always cherish those memories. You lived your life on your terms. You touched so many lives, my mom, Bruce,  jazzy girl, Kwilecki. Kathy, Chris....the list goes on. I will never forget the good times, Ricky Ts, grilling in the back yard, fire pit, good cigars, Sturgill Simpson, fishing, our lake house, and the best time of our weekend, porch time. I will never forget you and always love you. You will always be my cowboy! God bless the loved ones you left behind.  Jay loved his family more than life itself.  A very loyal. Loving family. Roberta, Maggie, Matt, Lake, Lori.........you were his rock.  Dont ever 2nd guess that you showed him unconditional love. You are all he talked about. My love and condolences to all. Oh. And the most important person to light up his face with smiles.....Petey Pablo!

You threw me for a loop with this one cousin. I am going to miss you so much. That smile, those bear hugs, those goofy faces you make and your infectious laugh. The feeling I got when you would give me one of those bear hugs. Warm and loved.
I'm honored to have had the privilege to share so much of our lives together.  I have it in pictures. I have it in my memories and most of all, I have it in my heart.
I'm so glad I got to visit with you, Maggie and Aunt Roberta these past few years as I just had to see you all at least once a year because I missed my family so much. There's so much more I can write but they are just words. I will miss you so much as i already do.
JBird, watch over us and be at peace. You are loved and missed so very much. Until we meet a gain cousin.

Love you.
Lori
