It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we share the news of the passing of our dear friend and valued member, Jay Stratton, who passed away peacefully in his sleep yesterday.
Jay was more than just a member of our community—he was a source of warmth, kindness, and quiet strength. His presence had a way of making people feel seen, heard, and appreciated. Whether he was offering a helping hand, sharing a story, or simply lending a listening ear, Jay brought calm and comfort wherever he went.
To know Jay was to know someone who truly cared—about his friends, about his work, and about the people around him. His sincerity was felt in every conversation, his laughter brightened even the toughest days, and his ability to connect made him not just a part of this group, but a part of our family.
While his passing was unexpected, we are grateful that he left this world in peace. But peace for those of us left behind will take time. Jay’s absence leaves a space that cannot be filled, and his memory now lives on in the countless lives he touched with his presence.
As we grieve together, we also remember with gratitude the moments we shared with him—the lessons he taught us, the compassion he extended, and the legacy of kindness he leaves behind. He was a quiet hero in many ways, and his impact will continue to resonate far beyond his time here.
We extend our deepest condolences to Jay’s loved ones and ask that you hold his family in your thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time. In the days ahead, we will share more details about how we plan to honor his life and memory as a community.
Rest easy, Jay. You are missed beyond measure. Your spirit remains with us, and your life will never be forgotten.
