Jay David Deane

I worked with Jay at Franklin Fueling. Very nice guy. My prayers to all his family

Jay was about 9 years older than me, his younger girl cousin. I wish we could've connected as adults more than through Facebook. But in true Jay fashion, he wished me well on FB before my surgery Monday. One of the things I always appreciated about him is he never said a mean thing to me. It sounds weird to say, but growing up back in the day, it meant the world. He had a wonderful laugh and smile and I hope, more than anything, he knew he was loved.

I had the pleasure of knowing Jay Deane through my employment at Placon. He was dedicated and funny soul. Rest well my friend, you will be in my prayers.

I am so sorry to hear of Jay's passing. He was a wonderful friend to my brother, Dan Bartelt growing up. He was also a friend to me. I am sending healing prayers to you all during this very difficult time.

Cherish the memories with Jay.
