Fellow Journeyman Lineman Jason Manning was fatally injured in an accident on his way to work when called into Storm Duty. Support is needed to bring Jay back home where we can properly have a memorial service and celebration of life.

The fundraiser is so I can travel to California to bring Jason's remains home, funeral and celebration of life. I must get his trailer, truck and personal belongings back to our home here in Arizona from California. The funds will be directly paid to all companies assisting with these costs coming my way.

The funds will also be directed to the medical care and costs of his dog "Rooster", the second tragedy we endured in the same day.

As some of you know, Jay just bought a home in Queen Creek, Arizona but was stationed in San Jose, California. Jay was coming home in just a week to celebrate Christmas with his family, and Christmas was his favorite holiday; he loved Christmas.

We must get his trailer, truck, and Jay home from California. We also had a second tragedy; if anyone knows Jay, his dog "Rooster" was his "everything." Rooster, was attacked by other dogs and was hurt badly and, as of now, is stable in a veterinarian facility recovering from his wounds.

More than ever, we, as his family, need your help. Any amount of donation is appreciated, but most of all, send your prayers.
