Jay Keune Obituary

My Brother,
Out of the blue, I thought to look you up. I've reread the other messages here, and caused me to send one more. We still miss you. You have a big personality, and it's noticeably missing. Love you, little brother.

Just had to say I miss you more than anyone will ever know Love you brother may you RIP Always Bobby ❤

Jay, Dottie, Rick K., Uncle Sonny, Uncle Ricky, and Uncle Charles: May the sun always shine upon you; may the tide rise gently upon your feet; and may you know the peace of everything you drew near every day from here to eternity!

Hello, Jay - Yes, we're still thinking about you, all the time. We know you're resting well, and enjoying all the blessings available to you. We love you always.

To my dear son, Jay, on his birthday. Happy Birthday, Son. You would have been 42 yrs. old today, same age as your Dad was when he passed away. I wanted to have your favorite,a German Chocolate Birthday cake for you, on your birthday while you were here, but because of your working hours, didn't.So, since you are no longer with us,am not sure what to do.But I know you will have a very special birthday in Heaven, today. You will always be in my heart, and I love you very very much, and miss you like no one can imagine. Love, Mama

Birthday Wishes for you, Nephew. I know you probably celebrate December 8th as your "birth" day now, since that's the anniversary of your meeting up with your Dad, Sister Carmen, Uncle Ryk, Penner, and everyone else who shares your company. May you Rest In Peace forever, and we all will love you forever.

Jay, one of your very best friends, Danielle Mincey, who loved you like an uncle, passed away last week. She had been in the Air Force,as a Staff Sargent, and then worked at the VA Hospital until her death. A Military Funeral was held, and it was awesome.I know that you know this by now, and you two are happy to be together. You two were both precious people, and she had said you were her "favorite uncle".We all still and forever love and miss you in our lives.Mama

WOW I SO MISS YOU SO MUCH RIGHT NOW. GOD WHAT I WOULD DO TO HAVE YOU BACK IN THIS LIFE.LOVE YOU SO MUCH JAY....

Hello there Jay, I was sitting back and had a memory of you run through my mind. Its been awhile since I last wrote in this guest book, just wanted to let you know that you are missed and loved by everyone. The smile and laugh that you had is missed as well as your character in life. You are loved by all Jay.

Brother Jay, Still here missing you, and just wish that we could sit down and talk. I sometimes call Mom's house just to hear your voice on the answering machine, and it does make me feel like you are there. Because of our schedules with work and school and life, us kids aren't able to get together as much as we would like to. When we do there's always discussion of our memories of you, and how much we love and miss you!!
So much has happened since you left us, but I'm sure you are watching, and laughing and crying with us as well. Michael Jay Helton is the cutest little chubby baby you'll ever know, and he does remind me of you. Please watch over him for me. Both Hailey and Zolten will start school this fall, and it's just so hard to believe that they are already so big. Savannah is in 2nd grade, and doing so well. Wish you could listen to her sing, she really has a beautiful voice.
And I guess your boy Maxx is probably close by your side. It was so sad to have to put him and Sunny down, but they were really suffering. Now, there is Luther and Lizzie, and we'll watch them grow as we did the others before them.
You're probably hanging out with Dad, Ryk, and now Randy, that left us last March 19th, along with the many others that have passed before us. There are so many last words that weren't able to be said, so many hugs that needed to be given. Just know that you as well as the others are on our minds and in our hearts forever and ever!! Love you Jay so much.... Robin

Jay, It is not getting any easier for me to realize you are gone. But, Son, I know know you are better off with The Lord in Heaven, and with all of our love ones , including your Grandparent's, Uncle RYK, and uncle Tommy, uncle Hank and your little sister, Carmen, that you never met. We all still very much miss you so much. You are always on my mind, and when I hear your voice on the phone, it makes me feel so good. I am very thankful that you put the message on their. I love you so, so very much, and there are not words to describe how I miss you. Maxx is gone now, to his place in Dog Heaven, as of September 10th, 2008.
Love you with all of my heart, Mama

I just wanted at this time to thank you, with all of my heart, for not only being a very loving son to me, but I had a best friend, with you. You always wanted to make certain that everything was going great for me. Chris, Rick, and Robin are the same way. I loved you all enough to raise you just right, and you paid me back by being a kind of person every mother wants in a son. For that I am very appreciative, and love you with all my heart. Mama

Jay, I was so wrong when I said that you had left us 3 years ago. It has been only two years, but seems like yesterday, to me. I miss you so very much, son, I really do, and the grief will never leave. I love you very much, Mama

Jay, my dear son, today marks the third year you have been at peace with The Lord. And although I am so glad that you no longer have to put up with the daily strifes, here on earth, I at all times, feel the inner lonliness that only a mother can have, after her youngest child is no longer here. There is nothing that anyone can say wrong about you , and I am so very happy for the way you were raised by me, and the kind of man you turned out to be. I just Thank God for letting me have you for as long as he did.Chris, Richard and Robin also miss you very much, wth a lot of love. You will forever be missed and loved, as long as we live. So, to close this, I will just say, Happy Birthday in heaven, to my wonderful, wonderful son. Mama

I love you, Jay, every moment of my life. Mama

I love you , Jay, and will always miss you. Mama

I love and miss you so much, Jay. Oh, just to see that smiling face again, and to hear the nightly, " Goodnight Mama, I love you"

Jay, I love you, and miss you , oh so very much. Our lives will never be the same, without you. Love, Mama

Jay, Mama loves and misses you very much. Time will never stop that, Mama

Yesterday, April 23rd was Easter Sunday, and what a surprise Chris and I got. Your school football coach came by and left us some Easter eggs. Wasn't that really nice oh him? Chris remembers his name, but the old aged mother of yours, doesn't. I just thought I would put this down in your guestbook, so it doesn't be forgotten.He cared enough about you, to do that. I love you, Son, Mama

Jay, Tuesday night, Randy, your brother-in-law, passed away, in his sleep. His heart was not strong enough to keep on going. It is heartbreaking, when one's you love, leave us at an early age, as you and he did. We will certainly miss and love you both forever. Mama

I love and miss you so very much, Son. That will never go away, never. You know that Maxx is very old now, and getting weaker all the time. So, Chris bought A beautiful little Black Lab this week from Kenny and Christy Lee. He is 8 weeks old, and I know that maybe you can see him, and be glad we have him. He will turn out to be a beautiful big dog, too. Your uncle Tommy passed away Thursday, from a heart attack.I am sure you know that by now, and enjoying each others company. Loving you so very much, Mama

Jay, Michael is now the father of a baby boy, born yesterday, January 29th, and they have named him Michael Jay, wanting your name there. He will be called Jay,I am sure. Your little grand nephew is in Kentucky. I love you son, Mama

Jay, I miss and love you so very much, I want you to know, not only were you my cousion, you were, and still my Best Friend, I Love you so very much,and I miss you, Kim Scott

Jay, I thought I would tell you again, that I love and really miss you so very much. You are on my mind constantly, and nothing is going to change that, nor would I want it to. You were a wonderful son,and person that so many people really and truly cared for your friendship. Again I love you son, Mama

I love you, Jay, and forever will.
Mama

Jay, first of all, I want to say I love you, and miss you more and more, everyday. You were so very much missed during Christmas, but I know that you are with Christ in Heaven, and celebrating His birthday with Him,and what could be better than that, or more beautiful?
Loving you so very much, Mama

Dear Jay,
It's now been more than a year since you left us, and the shock of it all still stays fresh on our minds. We talk about you all of the time, all of it in great memories that we have of you in our lives growing up. You know how Richard and I are the emotional ones, well we still are, and often cry when we're laughing about our baby brother Jay. We still miss you terribly, and sure wish that you would come by for a visit. It would be great to just lay eyes on your smiling face, and be able to give you that hug that I have wanted to give you for the past year! Please always know that we love you with all of our hearts, and that you will never ever be forgotten! Hope to hear from you soon dear Jay, and please say hey to all there with you. Love you with all of my heart forever and ever.
I Love You!!!
Robin

Jay,
I miss you more and more every day.

Fatback,
It's been a year now, but it still seems fresh. It damn sure still hurts, but I expect that will never go away. I think of you every day, hell, I even give it a cry now and then. You know, you kinda messed up Rick Pyrlik's birthday, it being today. Anyway, little brother, I will miss you forever. I love ya. Richard

Jay, this is the date of when God called you home one year ago. Robin, Chris, Rick and Sarah, spent the afternoon with me, and talked about a lot of things concerning you. You are still very much loved and missed by us all, because love and memory is that one gift from God that death cannot destroy. You will always be in our hearts. I love and miss you, oh so much!!! It seems like it was only yesterday, that you left us to be with God. Missing you so very much, love Mama

we love and miss you so much you will always be in my heart...love you always Bobby!!!!

It is after Thanksgiving Day that I am writing this. We had dinner with Rick and Sarah, and of course, had your favorite cake, German Chocolate.I missed you oh so much, Jay, but I am very Thankful that God allowed us to have you as long as he did. You were a very special person, to all that knew you, especially your family. You, my son, will never be forgotten, nor unloved. You have no more worries, nor tribulations and that is something I have to cling to in order to accept you leaving us.I love and miss you 24 hours a day, but like I said before, I am very thankful, that God let us have you with us, for those 39 years. Love, Mama

Jay, Just wanted to say again that I love and miss you so very, very much. When I hear your voice on the phone, when I call our number, it is so very touching, and we are all so glad to have that voice to hear. You didn't like my message, too abrupt, you said, so you put your own message on there for callers to hear. I will never lose that sound of yours, nor my love for you, Mama.

As usual,You are on my mind constantly, Jay.Just want to say I love you deeply,and miss you so very much.Tony Mincey and I were talking about you a couple of days ago, he still misses you too, saying you were his best friend. Your best Female friend says on this page that you were 2 days older than her, but I think if she was born 2 days before you, that makes her 2 days older. lol. I can remember how close you two were in friendship, and it makes me feel good. You and Chris were very close to her uncles, and did all you could to help them. That is something I am sure The Lord knows about, and you can now be with them, your uncle RYK,Penner,Pappy,Nana and Pop, and Ms. Anderson, who really appreciated and loved you. I love you and miss you every minute, every day. It hurts so bad, you not being here with us, Jay. Love, Mama

I Miss you too!!! it's funny to read the thoughts of your friends!! You were my BEST FRIEND you were the only one that saw me for me'!! When I was so over heals for Tony..(sorry, Tony's other half) You told me it's a crush..When I carried my Uncles around..you said..be lucky!I promised your Mom the other day I would come and see her,, I didn't get to! things just happen. I missed your Birthday!! And you forgot mine.. Remember!! mine is the 3rd??? You were always older than me!! At least by 2 days!!I miss it all!! What I miss the most is before!!! but, I know we will be friends to the end & I'll see you when I end & you will still be Jay!! My Best Buddy ever!! I'm still confused about it all???

jay sat and tried to remember the last time I saw you,pretty sure it was at ryk and moms house in sparta,you are missed and thought about.Roy,Jennifer& Kids

Well Jay, this will more than likely be the last entry in your guest book. First of all I want to say that i love you and by now you know that we now live in virginia, and that Ive legally had my name changed. Well jay Im heading out, peace man. Jason R. McGrew

Good Morning, Son. I sure do miss you something terrible. Jay, I keep you in the living room, with the picture that Michele made a few years back, and I let you know everyday that I love you and miss you , both, very much. The Lord is helping me quiet a lot, without Him, I am sure I would go crazy. The last words you said to me were, Mama, I love you, 3 times. And that is something wonderful for a Mother to have for a memory. You were , and still are, Special for a lot of people, to remember in a very good way. I have always been proud of being your mother, and that will never end. From the bottom of my heart, you will forever be in my heart. Mama loves you, Jay. Mama

Jay,
just a quick; Hello

My Dear Brother Jay,
Today we are celebrating your 40th birthday, and although we plan on having a good time it will be because of you, and our memories of you!! The tents are set up, and Sarah is cooking up a storm, so it all looks good. The only thing better would be if you walked in the door, and we could give you lots of hugs.
I know that this is my first entry, but it's not because I didn't want to or that I didn't have anything to say. You know how I am, I cry at "dog food" commercials, and after losing my little brother everything in our lives have changed. It's been an unbelievable shock, and we've all had to learn with the fact that you won't be here physically, but definitely will be here in spirit. Just always know that you, Jay, are deeply loved and missed by us all. We think about you several times a day, and talk about you in some fashion every day as well, so you are definitely among us. I'm just waiting for you to visit me sometime, it would be great.
Before starting this entry I read all of the entries before, and it was great hearing how much you meant to everybody else. You are definitely the brother to be proud of, and that I am of you!!!
We've gone through all of the pictures, and there just don't seem to be enough of you. We've got everything from you as a baldheaded baby in the stroller to you as a baldheaded man. Of course, there were many years when you had hair, and we love those pictures as well.
We are trying to maintain here without you, Jay. Please try to guide us, and keep us strong, and always know that your impact on us was tremendous. Now that I'm not crying 24/7, I'll be posting more often, and to keep myself from rambling I'll close this up for now. The party is fixing to start, and I've got a birthday to celebrate!!! Love you Jay, and miss you terribly. We'll talk later I hope. Love, Robin

Jay, this is the early morning hours of your 40th birthday, on earth. Last year on your birthday, I had no transportation to the store, for a Birthday cake, and you were soo busy at your job, it was impossible for me to buy you a cake, or birthday present, but I know you are having a very happy birthday in Heaven, and even though I am missing you oh so very much, there is no where better to spend your birthday than where you are.Happy Earthly Birthday, Jay, and please put in a good word for me to our Lord And Savior, Jesus Christ.You and your grandmother, Penner, are enjoying each others company, I know. Let her know that we all love her, and miss her still.
Loving you and missing you so, so, much, Mama

My Dear Son, Jay, I am glad you don't know the sorrow I carry 24 hours a day, because you had to leave us, but knowing you are with our Lord and Savior,Jesus Christ, brings a wonderful feeling, for there is no better place to be than there. No more worries at all for you, of any kind. I will be joining you in the not too distant future, and that will be a wonderful meeting.I love you, my son, so very, very much, Mama

I am just wanting to say that I miss and love you just like I did when you went to be with The Lord, in Heaven. That, my dear, dear son, will never change. You were so good to me, and for me, and that is something I am very grateful for.I am a very thankful mother, that I had and still have the best of children. You were never any trouble to anyone, and neither have Chris, Rick, and Robin been. I pray every night for comfort, and The Lord is really helping me, but your passing away, will never seem any better. I dearly love you, Jay, my wondrous son, Mama

Well Jay its been awhile since i have entered anything is your guest book. The best thing to say is that i still love and miss you as does everyone else. I could spend a few and tell you about your cousin Hailey, but you can see for yourself that everything is going good. Love you Jay

Judson,
I guess you are aware of the final show in Jax. Apparently you carried more clout than you might have thought. I love ya and I'll see you there.

Jay, just thought I would remind you that you are still missed so very much, and loved by me, something awesome. It doesn't get any easier to forget how good a person, and son, you were to me, nor do I want to. I will always love you, from the bottom of my heart. Mama

Jay, you left us four months ago, today, but it seems like yesterday to me. I love and miss you so very much on this Easter Sunday. But knowing you are with our Lord and Savior, makes it much easier to accept. I love you Jay, Mama

Today is just like every other day, and minute. I listen to your voice on the phone, look at your many, many school pictures, plus all the other many pictures of you down in Orlando, Florida, at the Hard Rock and in Jacksonville where you were with the Amaru Family. Now have a postage stamp with your picture on it.Anyway, Jay, my son, I just want you to know that my tears are still there, and all the good feelings about you, and the way you loved me. Chris, Richard ,Sarah,and Robin are still in deep grief also. We all will forever love and miss you and your very nice way with people. Maxx and Crash miss you too, as they were your dogs. Loving and very much missing you, and tell you so every day, Mama

Jay, just wanted to remind you that you are truly loved and missed by us all. That will forever be. Love you Son, Mama

Hey Uncle Jay, I am sorry that it has taken me so long to sign your guest book. But, I have had a hard time figuring out just what to say. I am still in shock to this day that you are no longer physically around. You were always around whether it be just hanging out at our house or if we were having a get together with your family or even my family. Over the years, you had definitely turned into not only a great uncle to me, but a great friend also. I am so sorry that you won't be around to see Hailey grow up, but she will definitely hear about you often. I have posted the picture that I had of you two in the photo album included with this guest book for everyone to see. And don't worry, every year at Christmas time I will eat a chocolate oatmeal cookie (made by my mom, of course) just for you. I wouldn't want you to miss out on those awesome cookies. Every time I eat one of those cookies from now on I will think of you. I love and miss you a lot Jay.

Jay, just a note to let you know that you are truely missed, and abundantly loved, by us all. I still have your voice on the message alert system on the phone, and so call myself every day, and tell you how I love and miss you. I will forever keep it. Am making a shadowbox for you, holding the shirt you had on,3 or 4 pics, and a In Memory of Jay bumper sticker.Will put pics. of your tatoos in a frame, and hang with 4 or 5 8 by 10's of you.Your boots will also be there. Your memory and love for me will never be forgotten,Son Love, Mama

Jay,

I Love You
Little Brother,
And I miss you
every waking hour.
I dreamed I heard
a grizzly bear
in the next room,
And when I woke up
I was thinking of you.
It's very quiet here
and I never thought
I'd say this,
But I sure do
miss your snoring!

YOU HAVE A PLACE

IN MY HEART FOREVER!!!

AND I WILL ALWAYS THINK OF YOU!



Your "Other"

Big Sister, Sarah Beth

Jay, one of your best friends visited here yesterday, Michael Beckman. It sure was nice to see him again,and meet his wife,Tina, and beautiful baby girl.He told of some funny things you two had done together, bringing a smile to my face. Needless to say, I love and miss you so very much, but I know you are in a better place now, and that is the only thing that keeps me going. I ask God for comfort every night, and He is helping me with my heartache, of you being gone. You will forever remain in my heart. Mama loves you son,as well as many, many others do. Love, Mama

Little Brother,
We missed you at the show in Jax.
Your presence just wasn't there. The show went well. Big Bob put on a wig and jammed with them. Anyway, I still miss the hell out of you. So many things to tell/argue about.
We'll talk later.
P.S.
It's your other brother's birthday.
Scare the hell out of him.

HELLO MY BUDDY JAY. WE STEAMED SOME OYSTERS IN YOUR BACK YARD LAST NITE AND THE ONLY THING MISSING WAS YOU. YOU WERE MISSED BY ALL AND WAS SURE IN THE CONVERSATIONS. WE SURE MISS YOU BUDDY.

Jay, just a note to again say, that I love and miss you oh so very much. You are constantly on my mind, and always will be. You cannot be replaced, nor would I want you to be, Mama

Oh,Jay, Your always smiling face I so much would love to see again.I do know that you are smiling where you are, and very happy.For that, I am so very greatful.We all miss you so, so much, son.Love you very, very much, Mama.

THIS YEAR HAS BEEN A BOMBER.
WE CAN HARDLY ENJOY A DAY.
SINCE WE LOST OUR TWO BEST BUDDIES.
RYK. AND JAY

Podium Man,
Nothing much to say I guess. I just wanted to say hi and I miss the hell out of you.

Hey Jay, I surely can't believe that you are gone. I wish that we could have spent more time together and it upsets me so much that I didn't get to say goodbye. I miss you and love you so much. R.I.P cousin.

Hey Jay its nephew Mike. Im sorry im just now writing this but as you know you have been in my thoughts since all this happened. Jay i love you man. When i got the phone call it hit me so hard. You mean alot to me. As ive said before you where a great uncle and a better friend. Youve touched alot of lives including mine. I dont know what else to say its hard to type with eyes full of tears. Youre in a better place now. We all love you Jay.

HELLO JAY. SORRY IM SO LATE IN WRITING BUT COULDNT COME UP WITH THE WORDS TO SAY HOW MUCH YOU ARE LOVED AND MISSED BY ALL. BECAUSE OF MY HANDYCAP WE DIDNT GET TOGETHER AS MUCH AS I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO BUT WE DID ENJOY SOME GET TOGETHERS ONCE IN A WHILE. I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU COMING TO GOOSE CREEK AND TAKING ME ALL THE WAY TO MONCKS CORNER FOR A REAL IMPORTANT APPOINTMENT WITHOUT A FROWN.YOU WERE A PRICELESS FRIEND. AND I NEVER MET ANYONE WHO DIDNT THINK THE WORLD OF YOU. I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT YOUR FAMILY IS TOUGH AND THEY ARE MAKING IT BUT YOU ARE MISSED BY ALL SO MUCH.IVE NEVER MET ANYONE WHO KNEW YOU THAT DIDNT THINK THE WORLD OF YOU. WISHING YOU WERE HERE. SONNY [email protected]

Jay,
I have signed this book before.. And a few of them were not published. I thought you figured it was just me again taking up space..And even the unknown said : Good God this women talks to much sign her out" Yea, I know your laughing at that!!!
Even now as time has passed. I still look back to the articles/transcripts that people write about you & it makes me reflect more on..EVEN though you did not out live me an a BODY sense. You made a MAJOR reflection on people. AND incase you didn't know why.. It was because you were a true person. You don't find many people you can call true in your life, much less someone you can call a "TRUE" person that will be your friend to the end & the some!!!
I love you!!!
Tami

Well its been a little while since we lost our friend,and family member.It is hard sometimes to get the sad thoughts out of your head about what happened. To ease some of my thoughts i think back on some of the memories that i have with Jay.This one good memory of many took place several years ago at Frankies Theme Park.Jay,Mike,little Johnny and I were racing the go-carts on the road course, to get to the point ill make it quick. Mike spun me around coming into a turn, when i came to a stop, i was facing the inside barrier. Isat there just thinking wow, what a ride, i then looked to my left and he comes Jay, now keep in mind that these carts arent fully enclose in a body type shell, i could see his gas foot was still hammered on the gas. I knew what was about to happen. Before the hit i could see his face, what a look of excitement.Jay knew what he was doing all in fun of course.Id love to see that face again, even with another hit,lol.This may sound like it took awhile to happen, I just wanted to put some of the details in.More later, We all love you Jay HMH

Mrs Keune, Robin, Richard and Chris,
It is so hard to find the right words when someone suffers a loss like you have. I can only express my deep sympathy for your family. I have very fond memories of the times I tagged along behind one of my sisters to your house. Jay always made me feel welcome and I know he will be missed by many.
With deepest sympathy,

Dear Mrs. Keune, Robin, Richard, and Chris,
It is difficult for me to express my deep feelings of sorrow and sympathy for your family. There was a time when I felt like family and now a part of that family is gone. Take care of each other and support each other. I love you all and you are in my prayers.

Jay, My loving Son, this is the day after Christmas, and we all missed you so very much, during the birthdate of Jesus. We realize that you are certainly with Our Lord and Savior, and that is the most comfort we can possibly get.You are and always will remain in our hearts, along with many, many others, as one of the nicest, upbeat and positive thinking people we could ever know.It is so comforting to me to read the many memories, receive the many phone calls, and cards from your multitude of friends and relatives. Yes, I did do a very good job in raising you , Chris, Richard and Robin.For that, I am very, very thankful, and thank God that He let us have you with us for 39 years. You will forever be LOVED AND MISSED,by us all. I will have a broken heart forever, until we meet in Heaven. I miss so much, your smiling face, and the love you showed to me every day, Love you, Mama

Thinking of you. To the cousin I have not seen in a long time.

Jay will surely be misssed.He was part of our family for many years.I love you guys

WE will miss you much

Jay, this is Mama wanting to say that I love you deeply from the bottom of my heart, as you loved me.
And that I always will for the rest of my life, and await seeing you in Heaven. I know you are with The Lord and that is a good feeling, knowing no more stress, or worries.
Again, I love you son very, very much, and forever will, Mama

As I read these tributes to my nephew, I am reminded of the priceless adage that one does not fully appreciate a blessing until they lose it. Every comment about Jay was the kind you'd expect to read about a truly loved and dear Friend. Sis, you and his siblings have done a very good job in raising a fine man. Love Ya Jay,

Jay, my loving son,that had very many friends that really cared a whole lot for you, were here last night for a Memorial Party given by Rick. They all showed a lot of respect, and had a good time. Everything turned out right, and good. I still miss you in so many, many ways, and will forever. Your brothers, Chris and Richard, and of course, your loving sister, Robin, have just begun to ease up on the tears. And you know that I am included in that. There are so many pictures of you, 8 by 10's, that were given to me, and they are very good. I love you son, so very much, and will miss you abundantly for the rest of my life. Mama

Little Brother,
I guess you can tell from the turnout last night that there's a great deal of people who love ya. I hope you approve of our efforts to celebrate having you in our worlds, although for far too short a time. I just can't bring myself to say a final goodbye, so I'll talk to you later. I Love You Jay

I CAN NOT DESCRIBE HOW I FILL THIS CAN NOT BE REAL NOT JAY. HE WAS ALWAYS SO GOOD TO ME AND MY FAMILY HE WAS UNCLE JAY TO BOBBY & MADELINE AND MINE AND DONNAS BEST BUDDY.JAY WAS MORE THAN JUST A FRIEND HE WAS MY BROTHER AND MORE.YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY HEART JAY I LOVE YOU MAN. ALWAYS BOBBY AMARU....GOD BLESS US ALL.

Even though Jay wasn't my Uncle by blood, he was the best Uncle anyone could ask for. I can remember from the time when I was a little girl him always being there, for birthdays, graduations, and anytime I needed him. He has made such a great imact on my life and he will truly be missed.

Mrs.Keune, I am very sad to hear the news about Jay.It is a great loss to me,and his many friends,but especially for you , his mother. You've done a great job of raising your children the right way. Jay was a real good man. I will really miss Jay.I enjoyed the times we spent. I will remember those, and feel good. I will never forget Jay.God Bless You. I am sure you have many happy and joyful memories.
Please know that our hearts are with you, please know how much we care.

Mrs Kuene, Robin, Chris, Rick, I cannot express the loss I feel. And I know that yours is times one hundred, more than mine. Jay was one of my best friends. His silly humor, and the way he would mock my singing, cracked me up every time.I will truley miss him for the rest of my life. Jay Kuene, my friend, my brother, till we meet again. I love you all so much. Please call if you need anything. CHEERS!

To my little brother Jay,
I guess this is as big a shock to you as anyone. We knew that eventually this would happen to one of us, but damnit, it just wasn't your time yet. I'm the oldest male and you cut in line! Anyway, I'm sure I didn't tell you I love you enough, but please believe it. I will sorely miss the particular sound of your boots on my steps on a daily basis. I truly wish I had reacted faster for you little brother, and I hope to become a better person for it. I am putting together a party for you on Saturday. All your friends will be there and we hope to see you . Once again, I'll Always Love You.

Dottie,
There is nothing like a Mother's love and I'm sure no pain like a Mother's pain when one of her children is gone. Jay had a Mother's love and a Mother who put family first so take comfort that you gave him the best gift you could. He is now in a better place and still watching over his Mama,I'm sure. I wish there was something I could say or do to ease today and tomorrow for you, but all I can do is tell you that the pain will ease and the good memories you have will comfort you. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Every time you see a star think of it as Jay smiling at you and saying, I'm okay,Mama,and I love you.

Mrs.Keune I was sad to hear about. Jay. The first thing I did was call Tami.Jay was a part of my brothers ,Jimmy ,Kenny, and Micheal's life.I remember he was always there to help them.I called him Little Jay.He meant so much to our family .I only hope he knew. I had not seen Jay in a long while. Tami just the other day was talking about Jay.He was avery special person .He will aways be in our thougths. God bless you and your family.

Dottie,Robin,Richard and Chris
Jay was and will be the best friend that i could ask for.My two daughters,Danielle and Toni will forever know Jay as Uncle Jay.

Jay, you were a good friend that was like a brother to me. We will miss you, and we love you always. May god bless you, and your family in this time of sorrow.

Les, Cindy, and Mr. and Mrs. J

Dear Dottie,Richard,Chris & Robin, I really don't know where to begin.Jay was & still is one of the best friends that anyone could ever ask for.He always had a smile & nothing but good things to say about everyone.I've endured alot of hurt & pain in the last 5 yrs.of my life,but every time Jay saw me he would always say,Darlene you'll be ok.You're strong. Everything will be ok.He always had a positive attitude.I can hear him now,laughing & joking.Jay,I will miss you dearly, but I know we will see each other again. Until then,as you look down over all of us(your crazy friends & dear family)always remember we LOVE YOU & will Cherish You in our Hearts Forever. God will give us all the strenghth we need to continue on until it comes our time to meet up with Jay & all of our loved ones one day.

Dottie, I just heard about your loss , and my heart goes out to you and your family . It is so hard to find the words to say at a time like this . It is always so hard to loose someone you love , but as one who knows , it is the hardest thing to go through when you loose one of your children . I have never gone through anything like that until I lost one of my son's . If it hadn't been for the Good Lord in my life , my other children , and family , and friends . I could have never made it through it. The one thing that helped me through it , was knowing as a mother , I had to be strong for my other children , and family. I know that God put us here on earth for a reason , and only hr desides when it is time to come home . Our children are in a better place now , and knowing that they are always with us , helps me through this time . It is a very hard rosd to go down , but as long as you have your faith in God , he will help you through it. I hope this word of comfort will help you and your family :

After the storm
God sends blue skies.After deep valleys
Tall hills arise.

After long nights
God sends the dawn.
After sorrow
God gives a song.

But during grief
God sends MORE grace
That leads us to
A deeper faith.

"Thank You , Lord Jesus,
For Your deep peace,
And for holding us close
During our grief."

Jesus said : "Peace I leave with you . My peace I give unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." John 14:27

May the Lord who consoles the brokenhearted, comfort you in this season of grief and loss.
We share the sorrow which you're going through. Your loss is our loss-We'er grieving with you .

God bless you and your family...Love you Brenda and Gordon Jones

My thoughts and prayers are with you all! I will forever smile when I think of Jay and the Pink Cadilliac he had when I first met him. Words simply cannot explain what a great friend we have all lost!

As a football coach. I had the honor of having Jay on our team. He was a great inspiration to all his team mates. Jay was a good friend and we will miss him.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Steve & Jo Kennedy

Dottie, We are very sorry for your loss. If there is anything we can do, please let us know. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Love Always,
Little Ricky & Family,& Richard Cooler

WE WOULD LIKE TO EXTEND OUR DEEPEST AND HEARTFELT SYMPATHY.OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS GO OUT TO JAY'S FAMILY.WE WILL PASS THIS WAY JUST ONCE,BUT LIVE IN MEMORY FOREVER. ROXANNA GIORDANO & PAUL WADSWORTH

Mama Keune, Richard,Chris & Robin,
I can't even begin to understand the sadness you all feel.
Jay was my first BEST/REAL friend. As the years went by no one still could ever take his place in my heart!
He help me understand what true friendship was & meant. When I wanted to stay home & take care of my Uncles, he was always there. He never thought twice about them being in wheelchairs, he never looked at them any different. Jay & I used to push my Uncles to Fabians Piggly Wiggly & people would stare. I wanted to fight back and he always reminded me they were ignorant & what comes around goes around. That was the first time I think I ever heard that saying it was from Jay. I firmly believe in that on a daily basis. He helped me through some of the most difficult times of my life & was always the positive in our relationship.
I could go on forever!! I love him & will miss him more than anyone will ever know!! You are ALL in my thoughts.
Thank you for letting him be such an important part of my life. I will never forget him & will cherish our time together.
Tami(Brown)Ward

I sit here trying to think what to say, there is so much.First id like to send my prayers to my family, Dottie, Rick,Chris,Robin,and of course Jay.It hurts so bad when we loose someone we love so much, buts its nice to know that they become angels.I have very good memories with jay that i will never forget.I love Jay Keune very much so, he is in a good place now running all around. Love you all

Hi, Jay - This is your Uncle Ronnie; just one of the many, many people who have always loved you and admired you for the wonderful young man you are. I'm proud to say that i'm your uncle, and that you are my nephew. Your sister and brothers have always made me just as proud. I'm hoping that I would be one of the people that you would ask "Why??" this had to happen. The only answer or explanation I have for you is that the Good Lord was ready for you to come home to be with him, and the rest of our family that love you too. I can't imagine any other reason in this world that would answer your question. I'm just in total disbelief and shock, as we all are, that you're not actually here amongst us. You always will be with us in spirit though, and for that we are blessed. When I spoke to you several times yesterday, I am totally convinced that you heard everything I said; probably because how peaceful and happy you looked. Gloria commented that you had that natural smile that you always have. Selfishly, we're just not ready for you to leave us, but we know you're at peace, so we'll just have to be content knowing that, and to tell you once more how much we love you. Talk to you later, Jay. God Bless You.

Words will never be able to describe How amazing of a person Jay Keune was.... He was a huge part in my life and a big inspiration to me musically and as an individual! I am so glad that I got to see him 2 weeks ago at our show in charleston... He seemed so excited as always to see us perform! I don't know how I could ever play charleston again without jay keune picking me up in his cab and taking me to dukes BBQ!!! I know he's in a better place right now and he's looking out for us all! Until we meet again Jay I love You and will make you proud for sure!!

Bobby

Dottie,I am so sorry for your loss.My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.Please let me know if I can help you in any way.

Dottie, I am sorry and heartbroken to hear about Jay. I will miss him at North Area. He was always so pleasant and nice to me. I know that this is hard to lose someone so young but remember that God is in control and everything that He does has a purpose. I am praying for you and your family. Grab a hold of the good times and the laughs so that when greiving time is over you will have something to lift you up. God bless and comfort you.

Jay, My youngest son, I have had many heartbreaking things to happen, in my life, but nothing amounts to the losing of you. You always had that beautiful smile on your face, and disliked no one. It is so very hard to accept the fact that you will never say, "Mama, I love you" again, but with God's help, along with Chris, Rick, and Robin and all the friends you, had, help,and it will be so much easier for me to adjust. Always remember that Mama loves you from the bottom of her heart. You are in a happier world now, with our Lord and Savior. You are in my thoughts and prayers day and night.
Darlene Brown just stopped by to remind us of her very good memories of you. I love you, Jay, my son, Mama

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Dottie, Robin, Rick and Chris, there are no words to express the pain that you all must feel. Please know that he and you are in all of our prayers and thoughts. Please be strong for one another and know that you have the love and thoughts of all of your family and Friends.
