Jay Serio Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Aug. 26, 2024.
Jay Michael "Jaybird" Serio, 64, passed away on July 29, 2024, in Pasadena, Texas. Born on January 21, 1960, in Milwaukee, WI, Jay spent his life spreading joy and kindness to everyone around him.

Jay worked diligently as a Dispatch Manager, a role in which his hardworking and caring nature truly shone. He was not only committed to his work but also deeply cherished by his colleagues for his light-hearted and humorous approach.

Outside of work, Jay was known for his love of animals, particularly his canine companions, who were a constant presence throughout his life. He was an avid fan of horror movies, often watching them with a cold Miller Lite in hand, unphased by the scares. A true enthusiast of the open road, Jay enjoyed the freedom of riding his Harley Davidson, a pastime that brought him immense joy.

Jay was the heart of every holiday celebration, adorning his home with festive decorations and reveling in the company of family and friends. His kindness was boundless, often described as someone who would give the shirt off his back to help others.

He is survived by his daughters, Annie Serio and Natalie Serio; son, Trevor Warmuth; and brothers, John and Chris Serio. Jay was preceded in death by his father, Ross Serio; mother, Sharon Serio; and sister, Patty Serio.

Services will be held at The Magnolia Center at Eagle Point in Mont Belvieu, TX. Those wishing to attend are kindly asked to RSVP with his daughter, Annie Serio.

Jaybird's legacy of kindness, humor, and generosity will forever be cherished and remembered by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.

I´ve known Jay for 50 years. We didn´t go to school together, we didn´t date. I was a kid back then.
He ended up being a very unique part of my life & my family´s. To say that he was larger than life is an understatement. His laugh is forever burned in my memory. He made me a cake for my birthday one year & it blew me away that he took the time to do that. (It was delicious)! He was a generous, gregarious, kind, loving soul. Truly one of a kind. Thanks for the memories Jay...

Jay and I were best of friends as teenagers and would talk on the phone or in person for hours on end, he always made me laugh.
We reconnected in our 20´s and became a couple living together in Milwaukee for a while.
The best gift I ever received was a cat named Ralphie that Jay gave me on Valentine´s Day.
He had a red heart around his neck and was hiding under our bed.
Ralphie was with me for a total of 20 years and Jay and I had just talked about that sweet cat the week before Jay passed.
I´m so blessed to have had Jay in my life and I´ll close by saying the last words I spoke to him as we ended our call that Wednesday morning "I love you Bird".
