Monticello, AR Tuesday, October 3, 2023 My heart broke when I was told that Jay had passed away. He was such a kind and gentle man, who loved his family. When my husband was battling cancer, Jay would stop by and encourage him to keep fighting, never speaking of his own battle. I can not express the love our family had for him. Fly high Jay. You and Terry fish and hunt those heavenly fields and streams.Karen Pierce
