TWO DECADES WITHOUT YOU, JAY..
20 years gone, still feels like yesterday,
Vibrant, full of life, never faded, no gray,
Life took you quick, but your essence still stays.
Bear hugs to give, even on your worst days.

You never looked down, lifted every soul,
Gave life your all, kept it pure, kept it whole.
Reliable? Bro, you defined the word,
Always came through, no excuses heard.

From your siblings, you never once ran
Ten toes in, always down for your fam
A brother, a friend, with humor so rare,
You lit up the room with the laughter you shared.
Loving husband, had your queen’s back strong,
And your princesses, they could do no wrong
A real family guy, you were fierce in your pride,
Protective, devoted, always by their side

Two decades in but it hits like you just left,
Your vibe, no cap, one can never forget.
So 20 candles Jay, we light them today,
Each flame a memory, in our hearts you’ll stay.
Sleep on Beloved, in perfect peace.''


Jaiye was one of my best friends and he meant the World to me........Rest on Dearest .....
