What is your response?Wishing you peace to bring comfort, courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to forever hold in your heart. Jay was a beautiful soul. Reunited in heaven with your Dad, Chris. Always remembered, never forgotten, even though many years have passed. Your spirit lives on through your son. Time will heal your broken hearts and you will smile again. Deepest sympathies to the family, and to Lisa and Ben. Fly high, Jay.

What is your response?Jay I never knew you in person you seemed like such a funny loving and caring man. Loved it when you used to sing the Man in the Van songs while waiting for Rebecca

What is your response?For Rebecca and Logan, Jay was such a special part of your lives, life may feel dark at the moment but the darkness will fade, the memories will will bring you tears and laughter but hold onto the love xxx

What is your response?Jay, it's hard to even find the words really. It is such a shame we had lost touch (other than occasionally speaking over FB and liking each others posts). I will never forget our times working together, or the ridiculous amounts of food you order at the Cinema ????. (Hotdog, Nachos, Sweets, Ice-cream) I can remember you dragging me to Alton Towers and that ridiculous ride you made me que over one hour for ????. I can remember coming round your family home then on Wood Lane Birmingham talking with your Mum/Lisa and brother/Ben. I can remember you putting down my new bathroom floor in my flat (you were a messy bugger ????) That must have been 12yrs ago now. But most of all, I will never forget you dragging me to see Britney Spears ????????????. You were like a kid in a sweet shop Lol. You were easily my best mate in my twenties and I was gutted when you left for Spain. It was great to see how happy you were with your Facebook posts. You will be forever missed mate.????

What is your response?I met Jay several times including the last three York Proms and he was always so happy and friendly and was such pleasure to have known him albeit too briefly - gone but not forgotten. Our thoughts are with Rebecca and Logan cx

What is your response?I studied to be a pharmacy technician alongside Jay back in 2007-2009. He was always the life and soul of the classroom, making everybody laugh each week. He really was a brilliant guy. So sad to have heard this new. RIP Jay x

What is your response?Jay, I had the honour to help you, at the Alexandra Hospital in Redditch, as you made you first steps towards the excellent pharmacy technician you became. You went on to be a popular and much loved member of the team. So much so, that when you left us to spread your wings, we kept in touch and followed your progress with interest. We shared your happiness at your marriage to Rebecca and later on, the birth of your gorgeous son Logan. It is now with deep sadness we mourn your passing. You were far too lovely a man to be taken too soon. You made an impression that many will treasure with your kindness, friendship and fabulous sense of humour. Always with us in thoughts, you will never be forgotten. Fly high Jay....an eternal star ???? God bless x

What is your response?Logan. The first time I met your dad he was working the doors of a pub in Mosley (Birmingham). He handed his jacket to my friend Emma as it was pouring down. I stopped and gave him Emmas phone number so he could arrange to get it back. He was a larger than life character who lived life fast and had no plans of settling down. From that moment I saw a kind, thoughtful person who instantly made me trust him. I was right...he became a friend who would deip anything for a friend, always had time for others and gave up the fast life for stability. He called me before moving to York concerned it was a long way to be with your mum. I told him to go for it..."we'll still be here, if it doesn't work just come back." He went...and never looked back. Giving up work to support your mum and the music world showed how he always put others first...then you came along. He was so excited (and quite a bit nervous) but as you arrived he fell in to being the perfect dad. He loved you with every ounce of his being. I hope the photos and videos of you and him together will help you understand what an amazing dad you had and that these words, and others, will help you follow in his footsteps.

What is your response?To Rebecca, Logan and family - I met Jay when Rebecca came to Aylesbury and a group of us met for a cuppa before the show. You had not long had Samson and we have him a duck which Jay hijacked 😂. He was such a friendly funny guy with such an amazing smile- who made every feel at ease immediately. Rest in peace Jay. Taken far too soon but someone who touched so many lives.

What is your response?I see The People's Soprano, I see a beautiful little boy, I see Jay. But I do not see The People's Eyebrow. Strange. Ever missed. Never forgotten.

What is your response?Like all legends. You came. Infected us all with your magnificence. Departed far too early...So we would forever know you as the youthful legend that you are. We will forever remember your outlandish antics. Your over the top laugh. Your enthusiasm. Your compassion (at times). Your devotion to making others happy. Your love for those dear to you. Your strength. You came into this world with far more talents and gifts than most, but rather than gloat, boast, and compete...you'd use all gifts to assist others who were struggling. You were a tremendous ball of energy, that provided smiles for all around. I only hope, that you are looking down, seeing all those distraught by your absence...and smiling back with comfort. I'll never stop being grateful for the friendship we had, and showing me...that you don't have to be blood...to be brothers. I'll always miss you bro...for forever and more. X

What is your response?Our paths crossed a few times - met you and Rebecca to record Bridge over Troubled Water after the floods and then taking part at your wonderful York Proms each year. You were a pleasure to know, always smiling and a kind word for everyone. Gone far too soon, but you'll always be remembered by everyone who had the good fortune to know you and you will live on in Logan! RIP x

What is your response?I only met Jay briefly in York city centre while you, Rebecca sang and you, Logan slept in your pram when you were about 6weeks old. In the few moments thats that I talked with him I could tell what a truly lovely person and my goodness was he proud of his beautiful wife with her voice like an angel and his adorable baby son. What more could anyone want in a husband or father?. God bless you both and Jay may you rest in peace. Xxx

What is your response?Dearest Jay, I have nothing but lovely memories of you, working together at the Alex Hospital, you always had a smile on your face, you will be missed always and I’ll never forget you x

What is your response?Jay, I only met you once, but once was enough to see what a special person you were. Your smile, laughter and the way you made everyone feel as though you had known them for a long time. My thoughts are with Rebecca, Logan and not forgetting your other best friend Samson. RIP Jay, heaven has another angel and I know it will be all the better for having you there Paula (Aylesbury)

What is your response?I knew Jay for eight years and he was a good friend who was always there for me and made me smile and laugh every time we met up. A very caring guy who I shared many happy times, particularly during Rebecca’s singing events. His brilliant sense of humour is reflected in this photograph after one of those events. My condolences to Rebecca, Logan and family. Thinking of you all. You will be missed my friend, Rest in Peace Jay, love Keith x

What is your response?Over the years of working in clubs across Birmingham I could always turn to see Jay standing next to me. Jay would be the first one standing shoulder to shoulder in an amusing or precarious situation and his presence put me at ease. I always expected we’d be sitting together somewhere reminiscing of days gone by; me with a whiskey, him with the most random cocktail on the menu and we rocked in our chairs and watched the time pass. Jay was a one in a million and it was a blessing to had shared time with him. Good bye my friend, you’ll be deeply missed.

What is your response?To, Rebecca, Logan and family. I only met Jay once, yet he made me feel like we had known each other for an age. He joked about "batting way above himself" when you two met each other. He couldn't fathom out what you saw in him. He put you on a pedestal Rebecca. He adored you and you could see that as you sang so beautifully. You must have just been pregnant with Logan at the time. You made such a wonderful team together. The three of you, sharing a musicians life on the road together. You, Jay and Samson. Little Logan was a secret at that time. Thinking of you all and sending condolences and much love. Jay you were obviously a much loved man. Your life was stolen away from you far too soon. Fly high to the stars.

What is your response?I worked with Jay at York Hospital Pharmacy Department for several years, where he was the life and soul of the dispensary! He was always smiling and ready to share a joke and made everyone's day brighter. I will always remember him as an incredibly warm and happy person, a good friend and willing to speak to anyone. He was a great manager of people because he was compassionate and approachable. It is a huge loss to the world that he is no longer here and I send my sincere condolences to all of his family.

What is your response?Whenever Rebecca spoke about Jay, it was so easy to see how much sunshine he brought to their life. Thinking of you and Logan. X x x

What is your response?So sorry to hear this news, and so moved by Jays funeral arrangements on Facebook. Loved hearing Rebecca’s voice at the Proms and outside M&S while chatting with Jay and baby. Our heartfelt thoughts are with family and friends. Anne & David Yeadon
