Still think of Jaye often. His name comes up in conversations with my friends and family,. It's still hard to realize that he has passed. He was so full of life . I guess that's why he still lives in the minds and hearts of those who loved him. Miss you Jaye.......Love....Mark and Janni Smith

To Jay's Family and Loved Ones: First off, Jay is irreplaceable!! He was a one-of-kind individual who touched everyone he met. He loved his family and friends passionately as we loved him. He also loved his music which he incorporated into every facet of his life. He was quick with a joke and made all feel just a little bit better with his humorous nature. He was my life-long friend and band buddy. It goes without saying that he left a big hole in the hearts of all who knew and loved him. We love you JAY...Mark and Janni Smith Family.
