You are missed by so many. May God bless your family during this time of memory.

Jay, it’s our 2nd summer home from college and i often wonder where you would have chosen to go. Would you play ball? Would you fool people with your quietness to make them think you’re not a clown? How often would you show up to class late? I bet Heaven is nice, keep shining down on us.

O8|13 A Day I’ll Never Forget. Tomorrow Marks 3 Years Since You Left Us Here All Alone To Wonder Why? To Question God’s Plan. I Remember Staring At You When We Were Younger Thinking To Myself “ My Brother Is Crazy” You Had A Glare In Your Eyes That Caught My Attention Every Time. Just For Me To Find Out Later On In Life As We Grew Closer That You Were Actually An ANGEL ON EARTH. You Hardly Ever Did Any Wrong, You Impacted Lives All Over The World. You Were Special, Kind, Witty At Times Yet So Smart It Would Scare Someone Who Never Actually Took The Time To Get To Know You..... As Time Surpass And Life Passes Us By. Days Are Long; Nights Are Short. I Began To Understand That You Were Chosen For A Special Reason. God Needed You To Join His Kingdom And You Served Your Purpose Here On Earth. I Always Wish I Could Bring You Back Here With Me, Ma, Daddy, Your Niece And Nephew. But I Remember God Needed You Most, So He Placed You EXACTLY Where You Belonged. Although It Hurts Us All. Our Hearts Are At Peace Knowing You’re Happy Exactly Where You Need To Be. An Angel In Disguise Unlike Any Other. I LOVE YOU MORE THAN YOU’LL EVER KNOW. Continue To Watch Over Us. Jay33 A Legend. And Although You Aren’t Here In Physical, You Are In Spirit And I’m Forever Grateful God Chose Me To Be Your Sister.

Hi Jay. Mom said Courian left a note so I came to see. We all miss you dearly. I don’t visit this page that often because I’m still in disbelief! However while I’m here I want you to know that I love you ..... I know you’re watching over us. Can’t wait to see you again, xoxoxo Your sister Court.

Jay, you're thought of more than one can imagine. Happy Heavenly 19th Birthday! I just know your family and friends misses you SO MUCH!

You'll NEVER be forgotten!!

This is my comfort, my consolation & my breath of fresh air in the midst of my depression and loss. Your word nourishes & repairs me, it revives my life & your promises restore me & make me whole. Psalm 119:50

Happy Birthday Jay!!!!I We miss you so very much.We love you always.

Happy Birthday Jay! You are very much loved & missed!

Happy 18th birthday Jay!!! heaven gained an angel! you are loved and missed so very much. Cant wait until the day we meet again. Forever in our hearts. love, Courtney xoxoxo

HI JAY, YOU'VE BEEN ON MY MIND A LOT LATELY! I WISH YOU WOULD COME VISIT ME IN MY SLEEP AGAIN. I WANT TO KNOW HOW ARE THINGS UP THERE IN HEAVEN ??

THEE OTHER DAY I WAS RIDING IN THE CAR WITH COURIAN, ON HIS WAY TO PRACTICE,HE WAS DETERMINED TO GET THE SAME # ON HIS JERSEY AS YOU BUT THEY DIDN'T HAVE IT;( I TOLD HIM HOW I MISSED YOU SO MUCH AND WISHED I COULD HUG YOU ONE MORE TIME. HE SAID ' BUT MA DON'T YOU KNOW JAY IS HERE WITH US EVERYDAY, HE COULD BE IN THE CAR WITH US RIGHT NOW, HE SAID HE'S IN A MUCH BETTER PLACE HE WOULDN'T WANT TO BE HERE MA,BUT HE COMES I KNOW. I SAID YOUR RIGHT SON.

JUST THE MEMORIES YOU LEFT, I CANT HELP BUT TO CRY EVERY TIME I HEAR YOUR NAME. I JUST WISH YOU WERE HERE. MOM SAYS AS I BUILD A CLOSER RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD I'LL UNDERSTAND WHY THIS HAPPENED. I JUST REALLY FIND IT SO HARD TO BELIEVE. THEY SAY OUR GOD IS A SELFISH ONE, YOU WERE JUST THAT GOOD OF A PERSON THAT HE WANTED YOU ALL FOR HIMSELF. IM SURE AS DAYS GO BY I'LL STILL CRY EVERYDAY AND WISH YOU WERE HERE. IT'S CRAZY HOW LIFE PLAYS OUT.

THEIR WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER YOU!!!


FOREVER IN MY HEART. LOVE COURTNEY!!

I THANK MY GOD EVERY TIME I REMEMBER YOU. Phil.1:3

I carried you every second of your life, and I will LOVE you every second of mine. It's almost a year that you have been gone, and you would think things would be a littler easier but they are not. The person who said time heals all wounds, never loss a child they deeply loved. I missed you and I will Always love you. Your momma

Hey Jay! I walked into school this morning and your memory case was on the pillar on the way to the gym. YOUR CASE! Perfect location for the baller you are. Seeing it up there made my heart smile. It was good seeing you in the halls again even though it's pieces of you and not actual flesh. Keep shining down on us until we can meet up again one day! #LongLiveJay

Hey Jay

Jay! You have been on my mind every day lately. It was hard to watch your team mates play without you. You were on my mind during their games. I love you Jay and miss you so much. Continue to rest in peace baby

Everyday is bit a challenge, but holidays seem to be even more of a hassle, to text your phone and not get a respond seems so unreal! But it's something I have to live with. Can't wait to see you again! I know your Christmas will be beautiful, singing with the Angels! Merry Christmas to you! You are forever loved and will forever be missed!!! Xoxoxo

Hey Jay, we all miss you so much! We think about you in everything we do, you were a great friend buddy! Last night we retired your jersey, I know you were there with us... You always are! I miss always seeing that sneaky little grin. Lol, we love you Jay! You'll forever be a Raider and always be one of my close friends! I know you are balling out in heaven! Continue to shine down on us bud... See you one day! #3 #33 #Play4Jay

Hey Jay! Tomorrow we go back to school and Ms. Smith gave us a packet to do. I know you wouldn't finish it and when she would ask you about it, you would just smile and shake your head no. Typical you. I miss your contagious smile and how you always pushed my stuff on top of my locker further back so I couldn't reach it. Now that it's basketball season, I know you are giving the court in Heaven hell, doing what you love. I miss you and can't wait to see you some day.

I remember the first day momma bought you home... You were the cutest little boy I've seen with big bug eyes and a head full of curly hair.... I remember momma fixing you hotdogs everyday after school because u didn't want to eat anything else.... I remember yelling at you telling u to get out of my room... As time went by you began to blossom. You got taller, you were stronger, you were wise and oh so smart! You got so handsome and I remembered staring at your picture saying I can't wait to go to all your pro basketball games.... I was waiting, I was watching, you were making momma and daddy proud..... You were such a wonderful child! I remember before I got that call I gave you my car to go to the skating ring and you went to see girls instead... That was the last time I saw you smile... I remember smiling and saying Jay is really growing up.... It was always something special about you but only those that really knew you for who u were knew your special gift. I remember wondering how someone could be so perfect... And from that very moment I understood why you were the golden child..... You were an angel here on earth all along..!!!. Today you are 17. Happy birthday to my one and only Jay❤️

Happy 17th Birthday my dear son!!!!!!!!!!!! I love and miss you more than ever!!!!!!!! Love your momma

It's been a little over a month and this still doesn't seem real. As much as I wish you were here with us, I know you're up there playing basketball and making everything, even things that were serious, into a joke. Your personality and since of humor was like no other. Your laugh was contagious. The things you would do or say in class would always have everyone laughing, whether it was making random comments about our teachers or throwing pencils across the classroom, you would always find a way to make us laugh. The amount of stories I could share about Jay and the impact he's made on not only my life, but so many others in never ending. He will forever be apart of FAM. I cannot wait to see you again one day, Jay. You will forever be in my heart and you will NEVER be forgotten.

Hey Jay! Whoever said this would get easier, lied. Whoever said that time heals all wounds probably never experienced loosing someone who they loved so much, an everlasting love. A love that you couldn't describe because only actions were the best way to express. As I drive to work every morning I cry, I look at your picture On my dashboard and I cry. I look at it when I get off work and I cry..... I said too myself maybe I should take this picture down but then I say no I can't do that, because your watching me! I then said too myself I want to be able to stare at this picture one day and cry tears of joy but honestly it isn't possible. I was at lunch with my friend today and we were discussing her birthday plans you two have the same birthday. I was like OMG jay is a scorpion like me, no wonder he's so strong and tough. Idk why that just came to my head I was amazed. Any who I wish you would come back In my dreams and see me, let me know how heaven is? Is it cold up there, do y'all have a pool and sun so I can catch a Tan? No but seriously u know I love the sun. I could lay out and watch u play ball. I'm not gonna talk to much , just wanted u to know I was very sad today. But I'll continue to pray for strength, continue to watch over me and mom please, we need love! I love u forever brother . Love your sister , COURTNEY

Heyy Jay! It all still doesn't seem real still especially when your song came on yesterday "Lean on Me". I Love You And I Miss You So Much ! Sleep Easy

Was just thinking about you Jay.. Forever a WeenisGang. I love you and miss you so much

I met Jay only a few times, but his personality left a lasting impact that I
will never forget. He was such a positive young man. I wish I could have seen him more often.

Jay's journey was molded for his greater good, and it was exactly what it needed to be. It took each and every experience he encountered alone combined with each experience he shared collectively with others to bring about his Celebration of Life. You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have. I wish strength upon all of Jay's friends, family and loved ones. I wish you the peace and comfort Jay would have wished for you to have as you mourn his loss.

Jay, I never got to know you personally, but one thing I do know is that I have not seen anyone more loved by the BEHS family than you. I have known your Grandma, Mrs. Loretta P. Goodman, for the last 15 years. My heart aches for her, she loved you so much! Every time I ran into her we would always end up talking about you. I hope to visit her soon so she can tell me more about you. You will never be forgotten Jay.

God's dearest child Jay, I never got a chance to meet you personally, but the nice things I would hear your mother say of you. We have many dreams and goals of the future although sometimes not realizing that God holds the future. Your mother loves you but your God and creator loves you best. Resting in the arms of Jesus. Selena I will continue to pray for you and the family.  Exodus 33:14, Psalm 23 Love in Christ! Shirley Singleton

Jay is my 1st cousin's son, I met Jay at my sister's son baptism and he had that beautiful smile on his face looking like his handsome father of course, my 1st cousin (Monte) he was so polite and had great manners. I saw him again at my aunt Loretta's surprise birthday party and still had that beautiful smile on his face and after the party we went to aunt Loretta's house and my cousin asked Jay what he wanted to do for his birthday and he replied, I want to have a cookout and my cousin (his father) said ok we'll have you a cookout and his father asked him did he want to invite his friends and basketball team mates and he replied, no sir just my family and I thought this is a family oriented young man and yes, he LOVED his family! I only wish that I could've spent more time with him to get to know him more because he touched a lot of lives and he was a loving person. It showed on yesterday how loving he was by the wonderful tributes that were given and the big crowd of people who paid their respects on yesterday, that spoke for itself and my cousin did a GREAT job raising him to be the GREAT (Goodman )that he was and It hurts that he's gone but like my cousin said on yesterday, he's at PEACE and he has NO regrets and that says a lot for him because he's a man of God and he did everything he was suppose to do as his father on Earth and now he's resting with his father in Heaven! Take your rest sweet Jay, we LOVE YOU SO MUCH but God LOVES you BEST! I love you Jay!

Jay your celebration was beautiful❤ You are really missed. Our greatest memory was at eSmart over the summer. I spent 2 amazing weeks with you. I will always cherish those memories. Did you hear what your daddy said? He is at peace. And for a father to say that over his child, especially in this condition, it touched me and Now I am at peace. I love you Jay. Gone but never forgotten

Jay, the Celebration of Your Life was beautiful. Your sweet humble spirit touched the lives of so many both near and far and it was shown with such an outpouring of Love. Your dad spoke very eloquently and is so very proud of you (but you already knew that). You will live on forever in our hearts.... Sleep on sweet baby!

I only met you once at you Aunt Lisa's wedding. However, I knew of you because of how much she spoke of you and the time you spent together. I'm so glad that you've gone to see Jesus but so sad at the same time.
Praying that God continues to hold your family in his loving arms. Thanking God for the gift of your life to all of us.

I love you Jay. I miss you so much

May the God of comfort and peace be your strength.. My condolences to your family and friends!

We are surround by a great cloud of witnesses of which Jay is now a part. He has left a standard and mark on every path given him the opportunity to trod. May his life encourage and challenge you to present your best.

I will always remember Jay as a jokester. He would always walk into math class late with that little smirk on his face and we all had this little joke that that day would be the day that he was "going camping". He never failed to make me nor the entire class laugh. He will be missed greatly from BEHS, but especially from class of 2017. Rest easy Jay.

My dearest Jay I saw you today and I must say that if I never believed in Angels I do now. Because you my son looked like an Angel taking a nap. You looked so peaceful, my son. And when I kissed your face it was so soft. I know you thought you were to old to kiss your momma but I had to get my last kiss:)))) i'm laying this flower tonite in your honor but the flowers tomorrow represent my love for you. I know how you are about me crying so I'm going to try my best.I won't make any promises because every tear drop signifies my love for you and one day these will be tears of joy just knowing what a great young man you were. Eventhough I may never totally put all the pieces together, everyday things seem to make a little more sense. I miss you my love continue to sleep in peace!!!!

Hello Jay! I got to see you today.... And I must say My heart is a little at ease... You look so peaceful!! You looked like a sleeping angel. You had a little grin on your face like you always do. That means I know your up in heaven cracking jokes with the Angels and God. I'm sure your keeping him good company.... How many points did you score today? I know it's a lot;). Don't try to challenge God to a game, you know you will win and our God is a jealous God lol. I wanted to lay a flower for you.... Just to let you know how I felt when I saw you earlier.... Continue to watch over us. I miss you a lot. But I know your in a way better place. Can't wait to see u again! Don't get too tall on me! Love you always! Xoxoxo

The impact that Jay made in this world in such a short time is a model for us all. Jay cared about others and his caring and gentle nature will live on in others through his organ donations. WOW!! Well done Jay! We will miss you at BEHS!

When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.
- Kahlil Gibran

Jay has been a Blessing to so many people in his 16 years; may we honor him by being the same to others. May we never forget that although Jay is no longer with us in the physical, he will remain with us forever in our hearts.

I remember when you first came to our school and we took the map test that day, me and Noah were messing with you because you scored higher than us on the map test even though we were older. You always had a smile on your face and you were one of the best ball players I know. Fly High Jay
