Jay Patterson Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Potere-Modetz Funeral Home - Rochester on Apr. 8, 2025.
Jay Daniel Patterson, Age 34 of Oxford. Loving son of Jerry and Clare. Dear brother of Jessica (Aaron) Robbins, Andrea (Adam) Bigelow, and Kimi (John) Catrinar, and Robert Patterson. Uncle of Gabriella (Hunter), Christian (Makayla), Josh, Mia, Faith, Aubrey, Hope, Robbie, Ellierose, and Thomas. Great uncle of Casen, Wrenley, and Jessa. Jay's dog Biggy Smalls was his faithful companion.
Jay was a gentle giant that loved to make people laugh. There was nothing he loved more than spending time with his family and friends. He was passionate about music and was a self-proclaimed movie connoisseur who could spit out one liners on a dime.
His larger-than-life presence, infectious smile, and boisterous laugh filled every room. He will be missed terribly by all who love him.

Jay and I met through my daughter Meghan in Marcellus while they both were doing a program. His humor. His love of people.
It breaks my heart and he was so, so loved. The stories to be shared will bring many smiles and some laughs. Rest easy friend, you were a lovable human being.
