Jason David Cray LADSON - Jason David Cray, 37, passed away on Tuesday, July 30, 2013 as a result of injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident in Charleston, SC.

Jason is also survived by his maternal grandmother, Mary Smith, of Bellows Falls, VT, and many uncles, aunts and cousins.

Jason was respected by all of his peers and co-workers at Hess for his loyalty, commitment, and work ethic. He was proud of his New England roots and supported all of the Boston sports teams. In the last couple years, Jason developed a real passion for riding his motorcycle with all of his friends down south. He relished spending his spare time on his bike with his friends. He truly touched many lives in a very short period of time. Jason was a loving son, brother, father and friend and will be sorely missed by all. Arrangements are with Fenton and Hennessey Funeral Home, 55 Westminster St., Bellows Falls, VT. (802) 463-4111.

David, Pat, Courtney,
Mark and I will always have a fond spot for Jason, that boy with whom we were blessed to share in his growing years. We always called him 'the red headed intellect' - so ahead of his years. A good kid turned into a good man. I am so grateful for the really great chat we had when he visited with you in April. I'll always have the memories and hold him close in my heart.

Our heartfelt condolences,

I didn't know Jay for very long but in the time that I did know him i got to know him very well and he made a lasting impression that will never be forgotten. He was kind and sweet and caring. He saw people for who they were and for who they would become. He offered to hold my hand during a difficult time and I will miss him terribly. I wish more than anything that I was able to have more time with him.
To his family, may you find the bright spots in life during this difficult time. He said wonderful things about all of you. He loved his family with all his heart.
You are all in my thoughts and prayers. He will never be forgotten. If any of you need anything please let me know.

My deepest thoughts and prayers to the Crays,Angela and kids. Working with Jay all these years was fun in itself but being so close to him outside of work was a wonderful journey that I will hold dear to my heart forever. Years of laughter and an occasional tear made this friendship so special. Jay left behind so many memories for all of us to reminis about they will keep his spirit alive until we see him again.

Jay, you touched so many of us in South Carolina, I loved having a biker friend from New England who didn't look at me funny when I work my Red Sox or Patriots gear. To your family, Jay was an amazing young man, you should be proud of what he was able to accomplish in such a short time, he will be missed by many. Our hearts are with you in your time of grief, and prayers for healing go out to you.
