James Facemire, Jr. Obituary
Jay had a successful career working in IT for the State of Florida and later as an IT Manager for Red River. Beyond his professional life, Jay was known for his love of all sports and his sharp sense of humor. He will be remembered for his sarcasm and that very "Jay" smile.
A memorial service to celebrate Jay's life will be held on April 27th from 1-3pm at The Wicked Pour Tap Room in Trinity, FL. We ask all who attend to wear their favorite sports gear in memory of Jay.
We request that instead of flowers, contributions can be made to West Pasco Youth Soccer AKA Florida Premier FC. Checks can be sent to 13553 State Road 54, #247, Odessa, FL 33556 until the link to a scholarship is established in Jay's memory, or the Epilepsy Foundation in memory of Jay Facemire.
Jay is already profoundly missed. His memory will live on in all who knew and loved him.

I had many opportunities in interact with Jay in the last year working together at Red River to take care of our customers.
Though I didn't know Jay well, personally, I know he had a good sense of humor and a big heart.
I'll miss the fun and lightness he brought to difficult situations.
He was a great guy and I am certain that many of us will miss him for reason that go beyond words.

I didnt know Jay well, we worked together at Red RIver on a very difficult customer engagement. THroughout all the challenges with this situation, Jay remained committed to the Red RIver mission and the customer's satisfaction. He became the go to resource, and gained tremendous respect within and without the organization. And, above all, he was a great guy, funny and smart. He will be truly missed by all who knew him.

My thoughts are with the family. I joined Red River about a year ago and worked with Jay on a daily basis. He was an amazing source of support and we would often spend the latter part of our calls venting and laughing about work and life. He is the type of person willing to help whenever needed and I will always appreciate that. Sincere sympathy for such a devastating loss.

I had the privilege of working one-on-one with Jay at Redriver on several occasions. Our interactions were consistently enjoyable and enlightening. We would engage in conversations about our families, emphasizing their significance to us. Jay´s unique qualities made him a truly remarkable individual, and his absence will be deeply felt.

My deepest condolences to the family. My name is Dre and I worked under Jay as one of his IT ENGINEERS at RedRiver. During the morning meeting we will always talk about sports. And joke about how one of the other Techs only watch WNBA and why is he commenting on NBA lol. Didn´t get a chance to work under Jay very long but during the time I did was amazing. He coached me, and guided me through things to teach me to be a better TECH. He wanted nothing but the best, and he adored his family so much. I remember when he went down to his mom house for the holidays and he was so excited to say he will be spending time with his family specially his nephews. Thank you for all the wonderful memories Jay. You will be missed

My deepest condolences to the family. I worked closely with Jay and I know how much his family meant to him. The news of Jays passing was a shock and hard to deal with. My prayers go out to the family.

From climbing tree houses to riding bicycles, from learning to play brass instruments to digging in the dirt, from swinging from the trees, the boys in the neighborhood were about fun and adventure and never a dull moment. Jay was an integral part of the scene, always with a smile on his face. We cherish the moments.
The Kinnard family sends our love and prayers to the Facemire family.

I´m so sorry to hear about Jay. We were great friends when we were little kids. I actually remember playing in the sandbox with him! Christy and my sister were usually inside playing with dolls and having tea parties while Jay and I were outside making mud pies, climbing trees, catching frogs and eventually crashing the girls´ tea parties! We always had so much fun together!

Jay was the first person I met at student orientation at FSU. We got to grow up together in Tallahassee! I appreciated his dry and sarcastic humor and his love for sports. I am happy to have him as a friend and he will be missed.
