Q: What was one of your favorite qualities of Jay?
A: Jay Jay was always the light of any of our gatherings in Franklin. He was so funny. He kept a smile on all our faces. Rest in piece JJ
I moved to Franklin in high school and knew no one. Jay Jay was the manager for most of the sports I played in high school. He treated me as if I had been his friend forever. His smile and happiness was always there. He touched many lives. My deepest condolences to his family.
So sorry to see this about Jay. He was always happy and I remember him when we were teenagers. He was a good guy!!
I met JJ at a very young age and we went through school together. As our basketball manager through high school, he always kept things very light, even during tense moments in practice. He was very dedicated in making sure our water was fresh and cold, and he probably didn’t realize how much that was not only appreciated but needed. It still brings a smile to my face thinking about him leading us on to the court and crashing through the banners that the cheeleaders had made to hold at the front of the tunnel. My father filmed quite a bit of my basketball journey from middle school to high school, and the final image of my senior year in the compilation video is JJ pounding his chest and doing his Captian Caveman impersonation.
RIP
So sorry to hear the passing of Jay, he never met a stranger and everyone loved him. He was always the biggest cheerleader and fan during any type of high school function. My condolences to his family and friends.
I’m so sorry Cheryl to hear of Jays passing. God bless you and keep you in this time of sorrow Janine Shestz
