Born in Providence, a son of Jacqueline E. (Noreau) Paradise of Glocester and the late Alan D. Paradise. He had lived in Glocester for many years until he moved to Connecticut later in life . He had been a graduate of Ponogansett High School, class of 1996.
Jay enjoyed the outdoors and being in the company of his many friends. He grew up on Keech pond where he spent his summers waterskiing, boating and swimming. Some of his earlier hobbies included playing lacrosse at LaSalle Academy, snow skiing with friends and family, participating in boy scouts and drawing and painting as he was a talented artist. Above all, Jay enjoyed spending his time with the two loves of his life, his girlfriend Krista Paparo and their beautiful dog Bjorn.
Besides his mother he leaves his sister Stephanie Paradise of Chepachet, a brother-in-law Thomas Boylan of Chepachet and a niece, Layla Boylan of Chepachet, longtime girlfriend Krista Paparo (deceased) and many cousins, aunts and uncles, friends and the Paparo family.
