J. Paul Bright III

I am just learning about his passing today (3/9/2025). Jay was my Ashtanga Yoga student for several years at the Yoga Center of Columbia, he was dedicated to his practice and made tremendous progress in strengthening his body and healing it from what he'd told me was a horrific accident in his younger days. I didn't know he'd also become certified to teach, I'm certain he used his personal healing journey to inform his teaching and his students benefitted from his wisdom. May his memory be...

What a sweetheart Jay was!!!! So sorry to hear this. Jay was always such great company. He kept you smiling and always had a unique perspective. My sympathies to all who love him. My husband work for Jay. Jay was a wonderful human being.

We are so glad you (Jay) stopped by the house to visit with us. Also, we will miss you, our neighbor and friend. Caroline, praying for you as you miss your precious husband and praying for the entire family while grieving.. Caroline, please call if we can help in the coming months.
Love, Cheri & David McCollough

Jay was awesome! My older cousin, always a great time when he was around. He is missed.

I loved his dry sense of humor. I always affectionately called him "Doctor J." I will miss him.

Very, very sorry to read this. Jay and I have often ran into each other in Woodbury/ Hampden. He always brings a big smile to my face. He will be missed.
