Jay Kegley Obituary
He was avid supporter of the National Rifle Association.

He was a loving and devoted husband, father, grandfather and friend that will be missed by many.
He is survived by his wife Jill (Parnell) Kegley whom he married on October 15, 1983, his children, Whitney (Jake Moylan) Kegley of Milford, Ohio, Jarrod (Laura) Kegley of Newport, Kentucky, and Jordan Bandy of Chillicothe, Ohio, three grandchildren, Liam Kegley, Vivian Kegley-Moylan and Felix Kegley-Moylan, his mother, two sisters, Jill (Fred) Morgan of Waverly and Jenni (Scott) Kohlhepp of Cincinnati, Ohio.
Jay was preceded in death by his father.
