I am very saddened by the loss of my dear friend Jay. We have shared a lot of good times together, from little league baseball, hanging out together, the high school yrs., and cruising in the infamous Monte Carlo. Jay was always a nice easy going guy who everyone liked. I feel honored to call him my friend, and I will miss our talks and his sense of humor. Sincerely, Mike Riedel

Please accept my sincere condolences on Jays passing. It was a shock that such a young and good man was taken from us. I appreciated his friendship and professionalism. I remember his good work while we both served in the Kiwanis Club, and his love of family as our sons competed against each other in baseball and basketball. From our family to yours, please accept our heartfelt sympathy.

I want you to know that you all have been in our prayers since we heard of Jay's passing. It was a terrible shock and I didn't want to believe it when I heard. Jay and I have been friends since college and though we only saw each other occasionally, I will really miss him. I had to work Monday evening so I couldn't make it to the calling hours. I was at the funeral but didn't get a chance to speak to any of the family. It was the most positive and uplifting funeral I have ever attended. It has really made me reflect on my relationships with others and my testimony for Jesus Christ. Please remember that God is in control and He doesn't make mistakes. The problem is in our lack of understanding. That's where our faith comes in. Love and prayers, Woody, Melody, and Caleb Burnett

To the Moore Family, It is the deepest heart felt sorrow that I even have to write this but our hearts and prayers are with your family. Being in school with Jay was a joy and now the memories will always last for a lifetime. To Melissa and the children, my wife and I send our love and hope that as time goes by your hearts will mend and we do know it will take some time. You have a great family around you. Jay did help us in our own personal loss a few years back and I will never forget what he did. A kind soft spoken, fun loving person to be around. To Herb and Jean, your are great parents and to see your strength the other day with the rest of the family was an honor to have people around us like you knowing that in the days ahead if we should pass from this life, we are in very good hands. God bless the Moore family and may our friend, in the arms of Jesus, rest in peace. Pastor Hale

It is with great sadness that I come to you with news of yesterday's passing of Jay Moore, son of Herb and Jean Moore. Herb is a long time Ariel board member and volunteer and indeed, all of the Moore family have been there from the very beginning of the Ariel project. Their volunteer work has most often been quiet and behind the scenes. Jay was there for us at the beginning doing all kinds of hard physical work, from cleaning up the theatre, to unloading a semi truckload of seats. And the chairs he moved back and forth for us! If he had a nickel for every chair he moved he would be a rich man. For you newer members, we had a lot of shows before the theatre was restored and it meant we had to bring in folding chairs for the audience. Even after we got permanent seats in the theatre, we still needed chairs for the orchestra performance and Jay was there, often unseen, but the chairs would appear before and disappear after the concert. Jay loved sports, but he loved music and the arts too. He spoke of the power of music in a person's life and how important it was. The Moores opened their place at every symphony concert for the OVS musicians to come and rest and relax on Saturdays between the rehearsal and the concert and a number of them took them up on their gracious hospitality. It wasn't long ago that Jay spoke to me about how much he enjoyed the time he spent with them and the stimulating conversations they shared. Jay was always out and about in the community, pitching in and helping for whatever project was occurring, the 4th of July celebrations, Chili Fest, or all they myriad of events happening in the park or around town. He was active with the Chamber of Commerce and the Visitors Center and all variety of community projects. He was perennially cheerful and ever ready to offer up encouraging words to any and all. He had a great appreciation of life and he shared it with all he met. He loved his church and most of all he loved his family. His quality of character shines through his family, from his parents Herb and Jean and his wife, Missy and sons Michael and Marcus and his brothers Joe and Jared and their families. Herb and Jean, we are so sorry. Jay will be sorely missed and our hearts go out to you at this difficult time. We are keeping the Moore family in our prayers. God Bless You, Lora and Tim Snow

You were so good to us at the time of my own fathers death and I will always remember that. God Bless!

I returned from a visit with my wife in Idaho and found the news of Jay. I must say that as a teacher it has always been difficult to see the passing of a student but this was indeed an exception. I have fond memories of all the Moore boys and his parents attending every PT conference and encouraging excellence in school. Jay was a fine student, man, husband, father and I must say friend. God Bless the Moore family in the trying times ahead.

Jay and I met at Rio and although we had attended the two rivalrys of Kyger Creek and North Gallia we became instant friends. Jay was a great man of character and kindness. I always knew that he would succeed in all his endeavors. Jay also gave me encouragement when I had my own business in Gallipolis and I recall detailing one of the Buicks that the family had for years. Jay was one of the "good guys" of this world and I will miss him and my prayers go out to Missy, kids, and all the family.

To all of Jay's family; Please know that I extend my thoughts and prayers to you in the recent, sudden death of Jay. Having gone through the death of my wife when she was 45, I know the sense of loss that you feel. I pray that our Father God, through His Son Jesus, will bring you peace and comfort and that friend's words of love will help you. I did not know Jay very well, but we would see each other several times a year while we were doing our jobs and living in the same community for so many years. I will remember him for his friendliness to me. I appreciated his work in the community, but most of all I appreciated his dedication to his wife and sons. God bless, Fred Williams

I never have forgotten the way he helped to make my first few weeks of high school not so uncomfortable and not so scary. He was always such a kind person and always able to bring a smile to a person's face. Growning up in Vinton and going to school with Joe, the Moore Family just was a part of my childhood and will always be a part of my childhood memories. I am so sorry for your loss.

I just can't believe that this has happened and I am so deeply saddened. We have shared good times from first grade on. He taught me how to play a guitar and how to get through lifes toughest times. Even though as we have gotten older we haven't talked as much as we used to when we were younger, I still think about him all the time and all the fun times we have had together. He has always been one of my best friends and always will be. I never will forget the great times riding in the 72 Monte listening to AC/DC on the old Pioneer. Eric Holle

To Herb and Jean Moore and the family. I was in CCMS with Jay and got to know him well over the years. He was a good person and I was saddened to hear of his death. He was always a very kind and caring person. We knick named him "Boomer" in school. We had alot of good times together. My prayers go out to you folks and your family. God speed Brent Hartley

We would like to express our heartfelt condolences to all of the Moore family. Jay was such a dear friend to us. He is the kind of man that would make you feel like you were the most special person on earth each and every time you spoke. Jay had the ability to make people feel welcome and cared about. He was a true gem. Even though we know he is safe in the arms of our Father he will be desperately missed by the entire community. We will carry him in our memories and with gratitude know that Jay Moore was a true blessing.

To the Jay Moore Family, So sorry to hear about the sudden death of Jay. Jay took care of my parents' funeral arrangements and did an excellent job in making them look like they were peacefully asleep and never sick a moment in their lives. It takes a certain person to be able to accomplish that task. He will be sadly missed by family, friends and the whole community that knew him. Our thoughts and prayers go out to each of you at this difficult time and just remember Jay will be watching you from Heaven so you will never be alone........
