Following a courageous 19-month battle with glioblastoma, Jay passed away in September, 2018 at age 63. He was a dedicated long-time Alaska Run for Women board member and volunteer who spent countless hours contributing to the event’s success. He created the annual RFW raffle which regularly raised $50,000 a year to benefit the grant program. He lost his mother, Marguerite, and sister-in-law, Susie, to breast cancer and was passionate about the fight against the disease. I, along with our daughter Amy and granddaughters, Grace and Caroline, are grateful for the incredible love and memories we shared with Jay. He will forever be in our hearts, and we will continue to honor his legacy each year with an Alaska Run for Women team. Go Jazzy Jaywalkers!
