Jay Devereux Kynerd

To the Kynerd Family-
I worked with Jay at A Bar A several summers and he will always be a big part of my happy memories there - he always made me laugh so much. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Byrle, Mary Jo, Kevin and Alison:

My thoughts and prayers are with you during these difficult days. Your family has always been so special to me and Jay was my first child to ever babysit. I can just hear him saying "That not funny Kay". Although I did not know him as an adult, I have been reading all of the testimonies of his friendships and love of the Lord.

I will continue to pray for your comfort in the days ahead.

Love,
Kay

We truly appreciate what your family means to Briarwood, and we mourn with you at this time- but we also rejoice with you because we know that Jay is with his Father! God's strength is evident in you, and you are letting Him shine through- thank you for setting such a beautiful example of Christ.
Love, Maddox and Paige Casey

Dr. and Mrs. Kynerd,

Jay is always at the heart of many of my fondest memories of working at the A-Bar-A Ranch. His sense of humor and love of music were contagious and always uplifting.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

With love,
Virginia Brooks Robinson

Dr. Kynerd, Mrs. Kynerd, Kevin, Allison, and family,

Please know that my prayers are with each of you as you mourn Jay's loss, and as you celebrate his entrance into the kingdom of heaven. During this brief period of mourning, may you be comforted by the God of all comfort, by Jay's life and memory, and by the blessed assurance of the eternal reunion to come.

Dr. and Mrs. Kynerd,
I knew Jay at Auburn and we volunteered together at Mountain Brook High School for Young Life. I am tremendously saddened at his passing and what your family must be feeling. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

I can't convey to you how much Jay's death shocks and saddens us. Jay was a very special young man. In reading other entries and hearing about the service for Jay, I am overcome with emotion about Jay's impact on others in his short life. What a fantastic testament to Christian life, friendship, and love of life! Jay's life will be a tremendous confort to all of you throughout the rest of your lives.

Dearest Kynerds...
Casey Campbell delivered the shocking news of Jay's way too premature death. I am shocked and saddened....I am also envious that Jay is in paradise with Jesus, and has a new body, and has stood in the presence of the one who made him and loves him more than our minds can imagine.

Jay was a fine, fine young man. Great family, great faith, great friend. Jay was my 4 year old daughter Jamie's "boyfriend" at the JH Ranch...he was a special friend to her....
