Jay passed away March 2023 and will be dearly missed by family and friends. Jay liked working at the Payson Roundup and enjoyed working with Dave, Bob, and Sherry. He loved his cats and took care of neighborhood strays. He enjoyed hiking at Natural Bridge and Woods Canyon Lake. He was a talented artist and lifelong railroad enthusiast. Jay's family would like to thank Dave Rawsthorne and his family for their help. No services will be held. Donations to the Payson Public Library and the Payson Humane Society are encouraged.
