YA JUST KNEW JAY WAS BOUND FOR GREATNESS

I MET JAY THE SUMMER OF '79 IN JACKSON,WYO. HE WAS A SPECIAL KID FROM A SPECIAL FAMILY.

Dear family and friends,
My heart cannot express my shock and pain to know that Jay is now longer here with us. As a testament to his love of life and friends since I knew him back in high school not knowing he was here so close to me in the DC area, I felt him, actually I saw his smile in my mind one day. And found out he was gone.
You all were so lucky and wise to have been in his life. I'm so sorry Jay. I was missing you. You'll forever be a part of my life.

Jay at protest 5/22/11

Hey, Jay! Taking a break from this mortal plane, eh? Just was watching some ten year old video I had of you at a peace rally. Been out of things for a while and I just learned today. Have a nice rest and I know you'll come back fighting for peace and justice and freedom again!

Every time I saw Jay, he was always leading. He was so charismatic and such a natural leader that people wanted to be around him. His passion was infectious. Would that we all lead such rich and purpose-driven lives. We miss you, Jay.

Jay Houston Marx was a noble man of peace. Met Jay Marx through is work for nonviolence advocacy in the Green Party. Jay Marx was fun, thoughtful, witty, a joy to be around. He could have become a great Green Party U.S. Senator. Jay Marx was a great, and inspirational advocate for Peace and Nonviolence in our lives, and our politics. Good and noble work, Jay Marx - loved by Greens around the nation, and globe. Thank you, Jay.

I am deeply saddened with Jay's passing and moved by his compassion for humanity. I am not one to post stuff but remember being in a play/musical in high school with Jay (Grease) and he was a wonderful fellow actor and person. Thanks Jay will always honor your life. Amy Moe
