Jay Reiter, 71, passed away Sunday (September 28, 2025) at his home in Waycross, Georgia, surrounded by his loving wife and son.

He was born February 9, 1954, in Windsor, Missouri, and moved as a child to Miami, Florida, where he grew up. Jay was a carpenter and contractor who built many homes in Miami. He had a lifelong passion for motorcycles, woodworking, and fishing.

He is survived by his wife, Candice Farge; his son and daughter-in-law, Kyle and Eden Reiter; and his grandchildren, Emily and Kyson.

A memorial service will be held from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Saturday (October 4, 2025) at Music Funeral Home Chapel in Waycross.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations of plants for a memorial garden in Jay's honor and colorful clothing to be worn at his service.

Sympathy may be expressed by posting to his tribute wall at www.musicfuneralhome.com.
