Jay Tullis Obituary
He joined the U.S. navy in 1956 and was stationed on the USS Hornet, moving then to Southern California where he raced for Honda for 10 years, competing and winning many Enduro races as well as helping Honda to develop motorcycles.
Jay's innovative skills and creativity moved him to start his own motorcycle suspension company. What started in his garage evolved into a company, well known to motorcycle enthusiasts around the world today, Progressive Suspension.
After retiring, Jay moved to Southern Utah finding his love of golf and spending time with friends and family.
He is survived by his wife Jeanie Tullis; daughter Tammy (Jack) Wilson, son Doug (Sandy) Tullis and grandchildren: Brandyn (Holly), Kyle and Blaine (Jessica) Tullis and son Tony (Beth) and grandchildren: Kahlia (Cameron), Kayson and Preston Rodriguez as well as his great grandchildren: Kegan, Jakson, Noel and Tatum.
