Jay Tyler Sappington

20 years you've been gone. We had plans to hang out when I got down to Florida that never happened. Your memory will never be forgotten my dear friend. Everytime my phone rings, I hear your song. It makes even spam calls enjoyable because I get to hear your voice :) I miss you Jay <3 May your memories be a blessing to so many!

Each year Jay´s holy soul gets stronger and deeper into our hearts. This is the first year he has his father with him in the next life. Jay´s best friend Chris has rejoined our family and showed us his beautiful wife and three kids. He is living Jays dream for both of them. Jay always said he would love to have a wife and lots of kids. And now Chris makes great music like Jay did. Best friends! Visit sappingtonmusic.com to enjoy one part of Jay´s legacy. Sending love to all! Jays mom.

Dear two fine people who posted comments even though they never met Jay: Thank you. Bless you. Get to know Jay a bit and enjoy his playing and singing at Sappingtonmusic.com. Gabe´s words match my heart exactly and I posted something similar last week but don´t see it in the legacy notes. So I´m trying again. You did great!

It is heartwarming to see people who never met Jay take the time to leave a note for him here. I'm glad his memorial is still in tact and that people notice it. Jay was a person who showed warmth, humor, and friendship to everyone, and I'm sure his soul is smiling down us remembering his beauty and strength.

I didn´t know Jay, but today I drove past his memorial and decided to look him up. After reading everyone´s memories and looking up his website, he seemed like such a talented young light in this world. I´m currently a UCF student & am so happy his memory can live on.

To Jay´s family and friends: I pass by Jay´s memorial on the side of Hwy 50 each time I return home from visiting my daughter at UCF. I looked up his name today. He was truly a remarkable person and was deeply loved by all. May his memory always bring a smile to your faces.
