Jay Metz Obituary

Jay Harlan Metz born in Tachikawa, Japan, on April 2, 1958, died in Tucson, Arizona, on November 11, 2012. Jay graduated from Sabino High School and the University of Arizona. A long-time Tucson resident, he leaves his family, friends and Costco co-workers with an abundance of great memories.

I met Jay in 1983 when he worked at Price Club. We shared fun nights at the Solarium and being the kind man he was he let me use his new corvette to try to drive a stick shift. My thoughts and prayers go out to his girls whom he always bragged about. He was a a kind hearted soul who left this world too early.

I just heard about the sad news of Jay's passing. My son, Cory, and I shared many wonderful times and memories of the Black River with Jay and the girls. We will remember his warm sense of humor, and endless jokes
around the campfire.
With sympathy and fond memories,
Pete Szach & Family
