Jay was currently serving as the Chairman for Washington State Board of Volunteer Firefighters. Jay’s service to his community and the leadership he has demonstrated throughout his career will be sorely missed. He has left quite a legacy.

We ask that everyone keep his wife Diane and their children in your prayers.
