Jay’s Story

Site created on September 19, 2020

Welcome to our CaringBridge website. We are using it to keep family and friends updated in one place. We appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement. Thank you for visiting.

Jay was in a terrible traffic accident on Saturday afternoon on the 19th of September along with his son Jaymes. Jay was ejected from the vehicle with serious injuries and Jaymes has two broken legs. We will try to keep you updated through this page as well as we can.


Jay was called home, but in turn has given the precious gift of life in his departure. Jaymes is steadily healing. He is scheduled for surgery today to repair his jaw. He has a long recovery ahead of him, but he will heal with Gods Grace. Stacey and Jay, through their love, have fostered friendships that are so amazing. The outpouring of love for them has been incredible. Please keep them in your prayers. Ryan is being a trooper through this whole thing. An amazing little man! Please, if you are able, there is a GoFundMe page that will help Stacey to get through Jaymes' recovery at;

Please keep Barbara, Chalkie, Justin and his wife Heather in your prayers as they heal also.
