David & Becky, Heidi and I are so very sorry to hear of Jay's passing. We are searching for any way possible to help you both. I will always have a found memory of Jay as a bright and polite young man. I will never forget the time he called me minutes after taking a six-point buck on the farm and saying 'Hello, Mr. Hammerstein, this is Jay Helmreich, I just wanted to tell you I just shot a nice 6 pt'. Even in his excitement, polite and courteous. Thats how we will always remember Jay. Please let us know how or if we can help. Our thoughts are with you both.

- Greg & Heidi Hammerstein, Pembroke, GA

My wife and I met Jay at family and social gatherings at our daughters house. We found him to be a very delightful young man. We were delighted this year that he was able to join our family at Thanksgiving. He had such a love for music and was even familiar with music and movies from my era as well. Talking to him was always enjoyable. It saddens us greatly to hear of his passing. Our prayers are with his family and all who loved him, and it seems that there were many. We are blessed to have known him, if only for a short time.

I met Jay when I first came to St. Andrew's School in 2007. The last time I saw Jay was during St. Patrick's Day. He had a great sense of humor and I remember him playing bass in the high school cafeteria while we ate lunch with our fellow classmates--through this he possessed courage as I could have never performed in front of a crowd like he did. Jay was a talented bassist and he will NEVER be forgotten. RIP Jay--you are finally free.
