Jay was a beloved son, cherished by his parents, Loren & Deborah (Dickman) Linder from his birth on October 1, 1982.

Above all Jay was a loving and devoted son and grandson. He made friends with everyone easily as he was, to his core, a kind and loyal person. He loved to be outdoors and was a Cleveland Guardians, Browns and Ohio State University fan. He was also liked to watch Forrest Gump and John Candy Movies.
Left to cherish his memory are his parents, Loren & Deborah Linder of Fremont; uncle, Mark Dickman of Cleveland; cousins, Danielle (Ryan) Fishley of Lakewood and Nathan Dickman of Fremont; and many friends including Aaron Autullo and Matt Ranker.
