Jay was a wondeful, brilliant, and caring man who led his life with principal and digrnity. He celebrated each day and appreciated all God's greats gifts. He loved his family, including his girls.

Robyne,
Jay Christie was among the Greats. He had a wonderful outgoing personality. He had a world of friends. He set a high example to try to follow. I want you to know that you are on our minds and in our prayers as you try to adjust to a new way of life without him. We will all miss him. Please let me know if I can help in some way during these days.
Sincerely,

Robyne, I had the privilege of working with Jay on many proposals, sales and projects in my two short years here with Mercer. Jay was a wonderful person who exhibited the highest level of professionalism while maintaining a selfless concern for the success of others. I considered Jay both a colleague and a friend and will miss him dearly. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.

Although I was only fortunuate to know Jay professionally he was truly a wonderful person. I could call Jay with questions or to pick his brain that was full of knowledge and each and every time he would be infinitely patient. Jay was so kind and sweet. I will miss Jay very much. My condolences are with you Robyn. Sincerely, Tami Mahrt (Mercer colleague).

Jay exemplified the life of a true Christian. His impeccable character should be an example for all to follow. He faced many trials with grace and dignity, and he will be sorely missed on our pew at church. Robyne, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers at this most difficult time.

My deepest sympathies to Robyne and the rest of his family. He guided me during my initiation at Mercer and was a mentor and friend during those first couple years. We laughed, lamented and he was always positive about the many things of which we spoke. He was committed to his faith, Robyne and his kids. I will always remember how he handled his personal health challenges, providing for me an example of exceptional will to do what he thought was the right thing and his unwavering faith in God. It is an honor and a great privilege to have him touch my life and hope that I can be half of what he represented to many people. He is at peace with Him now. I will miss him greatly.

Jay exemplified a full love for Jesus Christ in every area of life. His testimony was always of Jesus Christ, always making much of Him. Really, Jay's life was lived for the fame and renown of Jesus Christ, that Christ would always be glorified. Jay always lifted Him up, that Jesus would draw all people to Himself. God is very glorified by the life of Jay Christie.

Jay has always been a true inspiration in the way he served the Lord and lived his life. He remained positive in even the most difficult times and was committed in every aspect of his life. While Jay is "home" now and will endure no more suffering, our prayers are with Robyne, the Christies, the Bentleys, and the Smiths during this time of loss.
Love,
Linda and Bob Bellamy

There are no words that could describe our friend Jay. He loved his God, was a devoted husband always wanting happiness for Robyne. Jay was a sweet, kind, gentle man and even during illnesses he would always say "God will use this for His good". Jay Christie touched our lives in unforgettable ways, we will miss him so very much. In loving memory, Pat and Jim Shearon
