Hi. This is Rod Nygaard. My dear son Jay has passed away as a result of an unexpected fall and brain injury. After a long illness and much pain, he left us to be with Jesus, free from suffering and finding peace.

Many who have known Jay have experienced his love for and care of others. He will be missed greatly.

The unexpected timing of this loss has left his family without income and put them in a financial bind. In the long run, I think they will be okay, but I think they could sure use some financial help over the next few months to pay for house mortgage and upkeep, as well as other existing obligations.

Thank you all for your love and friendship with Jay over the years, and for any help you might consider.
