My son Jason told me years ago stories of this awesome man on his crew at Gulfstream who they all considered their comic relief. I had the pleasure of finally meeting J when he came to work at Home Depot as a part time Tool Tech. We connected instantly and he brightened my every day with laughter each time I saw his beautiful smile. We had many great conversations and I soon joked with him about labeling myself as his Bonus Mom” which he was totally on board with. I will miss you so much my lovely son from “another Mother”.

Jay was an amazing man that we were blessed to have in our lives for the past 3 years. He was such an admirable, compassionate person who we could all learn from. Always proud of his incredible children and wife. A compassionate animal lover. A man we owe much to for serving this great country that he loved. An intelligent, wicked sense of humor that always put a smile on a face and laughter in our hearts. A talented musician and passionate at whatever he laid his hands on- whether it was a hockey stick or his next home improvement project. An empathetic, kind soul that could always be counted on for support or just to listen. We miss you, Bayo! Heaven has gained a superstar Angel to watch over us all. To Jay's family- may God comfort you & hold you in His arms. Please accept our deepest condolences.

J always had the uncanny talent to make you feel comfortable in any situation. To know him was to love him. My heart breaks for all of us that loved him.

J, you were pretty much the only friend I had at gulfstream; we have had many conversations. And I will miss those conversations. You were a kind-hearted, light spirited entity that I needed in my life, and I thank you every day for that. I will continue to pray for your wife and kids, as I know you will truly be missed. Rock out J.... rock out!

I cannot express the sorrow I feel with the loss of Jay. He was one of my technicians at Gulfstream for many years, a little brother, as well as a true friend. I am so very blessed to have had him in my life. He was always striving to better himself, not only as a great avionics tech, but in every part of his life. He was a jokester and had a contagious personality that always brought light to those around him. As we all mourn the loss of Jay, we know he will be bringing his light to heaven with him. God bless and keep you and your family my friend

It broke my heart to hear of this tragic loss. J was a face I often looked for when returning to the Service Center. He was a man of and for the people, someone that shared a his mind unapologetically, and loved to share a smile. He will be greatly missed but never forgotten. My love and prayers to his family.

J.. I tried my best. I took our talks to heart. I held on til she finally pushed me away. I did my best with your kiddos. Just so you know, I loved them as my own, still do. Would’ve, and still would, do anything. You were a good man, J. You gave me encouragement when others in your shoes wouldn’t have. I’ll never forget you. You’ll be missed, sir. I send prayers often.
