On Monday, July 6th Jay experienced an aneurism, lost his balance and struck his head. He stopped breathing and was unconscious. After a 911 call, CFX Xystum members began mouth-to-mouth on Jay in hopes of reviving him and enabling him to breathe. Within 5 minutes, the ambulance rushed Jay over to the hospital and begin resuscitation. After a few hours and multiple tests, the doctors concluded there was no blood flow to his brain and that there was nothing they could do for him.
Jay loved to go the box, and he always said it was “his home away from home.“ He was more than just a crossfiter; he was a man who loved his family and his country. He was the Founder and President of Fitness Freedom Project that is dedicated to providing OUR country's Military with fitness membership/opportunities and support to our Veterans.
This sudden and unfortunate incident leaves his wife Laura and two sons Tyler and Jacob without a husband and a father. We are asking you to help support his family after this tragic loss.
To our Crossfit family and many others, please support his family through this tough time. Any amount is appreciated!
