I would like to pay my respect to the family and let you all know that Jay was like my neighbor because, he worked at minute man for years and i stayed right across the track from there. He was always good to me as a kid and he always had a smile and some good conversation to share. I will never go in that store and not think of you. Prayers up!

You were always more like my brother than cousin.
I'll never forget crawfishing in the ditch and going to the swimming hole
In Covington.
You were ALWAYS the best person in the world and everyone loved you!!!
Until we meet again!!!!!!

Everytime I see a pic or think about Jarome- I see that sweet smile! He and I shared our love for music whenever we could. I hadn't seen him in a few years but we always talked music on Facebook. You will be missed- as you once told me- if it moves you let it groove you! I love you!! Rest in peace my friend.

Jerome, my Cuz....you were the Myth, the Legend, the Man...and you were not only known by many. but you touched many and they loved you for it! ...Still do... Your memory is emblazoned in the hearts of so many, including myself. You only knew Love one way...Unconditionally! That is not an easy feat for most but is came so naturally for you.
I've never met a more giving, positive person in my life and I am so lucky to have had you for the time God granted me. He just needed you more...
You showed me, "Never give up, Live and let Live, and let Love be the stronghold on your heart". You inspired me and so I keep pushing on.
Your touch will always be felt; your love will continue to be profound, your warmth will continue to envelop....you will be missed indeed. You, however, will never be forgotten!
Shine on "Romey". Ride the great highway in the heavens and let that Harley roar. I love you. See you when my ride comes for me...
"Charmy Baby" (your nickname for me)
