Our fathers were brothers and you were always sure to make me yours. Words can’t explain the feeling of sadness we all feel but knowing you’re watching over us is more than comforting. It’s the best !! As you would say. Love you always and forever Big Bro. Thank you for loving me unconditionally , sticking up for me and molding me into the man I am today. “Locs and Val’s don’t mix bruh “ Until we Meet Again Kuya Jay … Under the Boardwalk

Jay was the most positive, genuine and uplifting person I’ve ever met. Every time we spoke he always bragged about his family and all of their most recent special accomplishments. He was so special to everyone he met. Prayers to all of his family and friends. Rest in peace, Jay.

Jay was a light in any room he walked into! I have worked with Jay since he started at Bardy Dx and I can say he was truly the most genuine and kindest person I have ever known. He took the time to connect and share a positive thought or a compliment. He found the joy in life. Jay will be missed greatly in life and here at bardy. He was the heart and soul of our management team. As much as we are saddened, I cannot process what his family is feeling. I hope you take a small measure of comfort in knowing how many life’s he touched and how special he was. Jay may you rest in light and joy. Jen

I’m so sorry for your loss, but I hope it helps a little to know that he was loved by so many people. We met at Bardy in 2019 and we bonded quickly over our Filipino backgrounds and our love for karaoke. When we’d be on team trips, we’d keep each other accountable to meet for a morning run at least once. The photo is from Newport Beach in Feb 2020 after we got to the top of a big hill during one of those runs. Whenever we’d have a call, at some point he’d ask some flavor of “how can I help?”. The first time I was surprised because he had so many things going on and he was still looking for ways to make someone else’s day better. But for anyone who knows him, they know that this was just who he was. I will miss our jokes, our signing, and sharing updates about gummy bears, but most of all I will miss having such a selfless, fun, and kind person in my life. Rest in peace Jay, my good friend. You’ll never be far from our thoughts. Cristina Gutierrez and the Wortman family

My deepest condolences on your loss of a great great person in your lives! My heart is saddened and heavy on this day. I will offer up my rosary for Jay & your family during this time. May God hold you close to His Sacred Heart! Jay taught me the importance of (French dressing dipping French Fries). Jay was one of my good friends at Salesianum and I look forward when we can laugh again in our heavenly place of rest!
Rest in Peace and you will be surely missed!

I met Jay when we were young back home in the Philippines. Their family home is located just opposite ours. He was a kind-hearted soul, down-to-earth, a true gentleman, very respectful and a remarkable friend. I’ll always cherish the memories I’ve had with him when I visited their wonderful and loving family in Delaware back in the 90’s. One of the best trips I’ll never forget. I was shocked and saddened when his first cousin sent me a message about his passing.
Our heartfelt condolences to his wife, Sara and family, Nana Tit, Nini and family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult times. Rest in eternal peace Jay.

We'll always remember the first time we met Jay. Their family had recently moved into the neighborhood and we had some people over the house to welcome them. In an attempt to just make some small talk I started to describe the Adventure Guides program to Jay. He genuinely welled up with tears at the thought of being able to spend special time with this kids. Hundreds of precious memories and countless laughing fits ensued for years thereafter. Considering how busy all of our lives are, our son RJ and I were fortunate to hangout with Jay and Jake a week ago as we did some volunteer work at the Elks. Jay spent that time doing what Jay does best...being helpful, laughing at how ridiculous I am and making me laugh at myself. I'll cherish forever the obligatory bookended bear hugs from that day. We love you Jay.
The Dennis Family

Words cant describe my thoughts and the sadness i am feeling and my prayers go out to the family and the community of family and friends he has built. i am heartbroken to hear the news as it was too soon to depart this world but i know heaven has gained an angel. When i think of you, i remember your kindness, your energy, and your jokes. Scary stories, drives to sketchy forest, magic tricks that were impressive, and so many fond memories. Reading peoples words has shown me that you have made a huge impact to many people and the community. It will not be forgotten but remembered. Sending the family strength to get through this time and to one day find peace.!

My family met Jay and Sara when we first moved to town and our daughters were doing gymnastics together. Felt like I had known him for 10 years after our first conversation. That was 10 years ago. He had a gift of enthusiasm and bright positivity that is truly rare. We will miss you so much Jay.

My sister and I grew up playing with Kuya Jay Jay in Delaware. We would see him, Auntie Tita, and Tita Nini all the time and we'd get really excited when we saw him because we thought he was so cute :) I remember seeing him after several years at my Lola's funeral helping to carry the casket and looking so sad. We have a lot of photos of him as a child with my aunties and Lola and I will look for them. Miss you Kuya Jay Jay.

Jay was a wonderful friend to many of us in his hometown of Wilmington Delaware for more than 20 years. He was kind, caring and always the most positive person you knew. We are all stunned and deeply, deeply saddened by his passing. The way Jay lived his life serves as an inspiration to us all to embrace life each day with his limitless amount of joy, positivity and enthusiasm. He will be greatly missed and always remembered with love.

“Locs and Val’s don’t mix”… You were always the cool “Big” cousin I looked up to as we were the same in business, sales, and sports. My best childhood memories of Bethany Beach and Delaware would not be the same without you in it. I love you Kuya Jay and may you rest in peace. You will be missed. ❤️

Jacob, I was so sad to hear about the passing of your dad. I will always remember you as a first grader in my class and the friendly conversations I had with your father that year. I remember one time he came in to be a Mystery Reader and we chatted afterwards. It was obvious to me how proud he was of you! He will watch over you always. You, your mother, and your sister will remain in my prayers.
Love, Megan Moran

We are so sorry for your family's loss. What a guy, the passage describes my experiences with Jay to a tee….could make anyone feel like a best friend the first time you meet him. I have fond memories of my ole pal and know he’s with the Lord as I write this. I pray that the Lord is with his family and loved ones during this time. God bless you all.
