My condolences... I’ve only been an “Facebook friend” since leaving blizzard. But I have nothing but the fondest memories of Jay. So sad to hear this shocking news. Xoxo to the Lulu and your adorable son.

We will truly miss Jay- his great smile and twinkle in his eyes. Loved how he would call us Mommy and Daddy Mack and really loved seeing the person Jay grew to be with the family he adored so much-Lulu, Remi and Zeus. Jay’s sudden passing makes this loss even harder and our sympathy and love are with all of you.We will always love that he was part of our lives and miss him so much. Our hearts and love are with you in the days ahead. RIP Jay❤️

We were so incredibly lucky to get to know Jay through our kids going to the same daycare for the past couple of years. Jay was one of the few friends we had with kids the same age. He was the nicest guy who loved his family more than anything. We feel so lucky to have gotten to know such a wonderful person. We are heartbroken to hear of his passing. All our love and prayers to Lulu, Remi and the rest of the family. Thank you for always bringing so much joy and laughter to the people around you. You will be greatly missed.

I was deeply saddened to hear of Jay's passing. I met Jay at the Blizzard Arena, in fact, he was the reason I was able to start working there on a regular basis. From the time I spent with Jay, I always felt he was someone that had lived multiple lifetimes. He always had a presence about him, that he was a seamless interloper, able to introduce himself for the first time to someone, but feel like he's always been a part of your life. There are people that come and go in your life, but Jay is one that left an impact. He will truly be missed.

When I heard the news of Jay's passing, my heart broke. I have known Jay for almost 24 years. He was the type of friend that you could 6 months without hearing from, but then a song would come on the radio that would make him think about you and then he'd shoot a text that would end up turning into a 3 hour long conversation...as if no time had passed at all. He helped my husband land a job at Blizzard when we first moved to CA. And the two of them bonded instantly. They just "got" each other. Jay was special. Very special. He always knew how to make me laugh. He had a heart of gold. To Lulu and Remi and to all of Jay's loved ones, my deepest condolences. Until we meet again, my friend...

My condolences to Jay's family.

Jay - You always brought sillyness and laughter in my life and we always had great times. You were never shy to help pick me up when I felt down and needed someone. I will always remember seeing the excitement in your eyes whenever we talked about the love you had for everything and everyone. We would used to practice our mandarin together because you were learning chinese to communicate with Lulu's family better. You loved hard and you gave yourself fully. That's the kind of man you were. I'm grateful to have met you in my life. You have been taken from us too soon. I miss you already.

Jay was an incredibly hard working and awesome dude. When I moved out to California in 2017 our mutual friend Greg told the both of us that we had to meet up and get to know each other.

Jay was a one of a kind individual and it was a deep pleasure having known him.

My deepest condolences to Jay's family. Jay and I were a pair of old souls, brothers at heart. He was a kind, gentle soul that did not need an introduction and would lend you his ear day or night. You will always have a spot in my heart, dear friend. I miss you already. I know you are living your dream on a different plane. Until we meet again.
