Jayme was tragically taken from us on Sept. 14, 2014, while still serving active duty in the Army. He was 32 years old. He grew up in Brewster, Ohio and attended Fairless Local Schools.
He is the son of Donald Pohovey and Glenda Collins; he is the grandson of Paul and Dorothy Pohovey and Clark and Cherry Collins; he is the brother of Jessica Baker; he is the father of Dylan Pohovey and Selene Pohovey; he is the husband of Svetlana Pohovey and step-father of Natalia Fuks. He proudly served our country for 12 years, with two tours to Afghanistan. He was the recipient of numerous awards/medals. He was a combat medic that saved many lives. One of his many heroic moments was featured in Solider of Fortune Magazine - January 2008 edition. We thank Jayme for his brave service.

Jayme, my best friend through high school! I miss you my brother! I still can hear your laugh. You always had made me happy n smile like nobody else could. Our after school, and weekend rides in ur Chevy celebrity. The spice girls??? Visiting with you at your mother's making fun of the backstreet boys n NSYNC just to get a rouse from jessica. Omg we were strange indeed. You are the best person I met still in my entire life. I'm really hurt by this. I wish I could speak and see u. I remember our last chat on Myspace. I cherish the times we did have and hold you in my heart! Until we meet again, I love u my dear brother...

My son, I miss you so much! Knowing that I will see you again keeps me going. So many lives were saved because of you, so many lives were touched by you. You leave us in the physical form but will always be with us in spirit. Thank you for being my son. My life would not have been the same without you. The joy and laughter you brought me through the years will stay with me and I cherish the time we have had together.

Jayme, I'll never forget all you did for us in that place; even though sometimes I might want to. You were a true friend, comrade, and hero. I hope that wherever you are, you've found the peace you couldn't find here. I'll miss you for the rest of my life and I'll be forever comforted knowing that you will be laid to rest among all your brother and sisters in arms in that hallowed garden of stone. I'll see you at Fiddler's Green, Brother.

I love you Jayme. A piece of my heart will always be missing for my only sibling. Thank you for serving our country for 12 years and your two tours to Afghanistan, so we can have our freedoms and be safe. I only wish our government treated our Veterans better and gave them the help you all need when returning from War. Your memory lives on in your children, and in all the men you saved on the battlefield. I had a twin that died before he/she could be born - very cool that you're meeting our brother/sister in heaven. I'll see you again one day, I'm sure of that.
