You are so missed my friend. You were one of the most upstanding, honest man I had the pleasure to know. Lots of memories come flooding back and I will take comfort in them. Until we see each other again Jaybird. Much love and peace
Words fail me at this moment. I know, I know how odd for me! You were the absolute finest men I have had the pleasure to call my friend. I called you Freak because your tall and I was Rita's short friend. We both love Rita and thru that friendship we became the best of Buddy's. You were so many things to so many people. Until we see each other again old friend, I will keep you in my heart. Much love and peace. Sam
"Jay, you were a great father-in-law and an even better friend. I will miss our long conversations about history and politics. You have always been a role model to me. You took care of a lot of children, not all of them yours and you never complained about it. You have a lot of kids that love you. You were a great person since I've known you and always did the right thing. I will miss you my friend. I hope you're catching plenty of fish wherever you are."
My Dad,
He was a good dad who worked hard his whole life. Family meant the world to him. Every time I would walk in the room he would sing, "Rocky Raccoon went to the moon who was a baboon." He took Josh fishing and would have him help in his garden. My dad had a green thumb, he could get anything to grow. Josh came home with him one day and when I asked, "Where did you go?" He answered, we went cruising for chicks." He would come home with pocket knives and he let him saw a piece of wood which Josh sawed right through his foot upon taking him to hospital for stitches he precedes to tell him they have to cut off your foot. Amber had him wrapped around her finger, yet she was the only grandkid who upon asking will you do this or that would say no. I love him and will miss him dearly. ❤️
Uncle Jay was one of the only few people on Earth I looked up to and respected. I have memories of him throughout my whole life. I can't remember not knowing him in my early childhood. If you came to his house at around Christmas time a relative or not you got a present. Then when I was 19 and went back to Texas, he would come spend the occasional weekend at my Uncle Tom and Aunt Kathy's house. We would stay up late talking and hearing his stories. He'd bring some exotic beer for us to try. None I ever liked lol, but he just wanted to try different stuff. Then in my 20s and 30s I moved to Indiana. He happened live 30 miles from me! I would go over and have great visits with Uncle Jay and Aunt Rita. We would talk about everything you could imagine, and have differences of opinions but still love each other the same. I remember working with him building his building's. Then he became sick for a while, near death. And rose back to his old self again and I enjoyed every second with him til they moved back to Texas. Anytime we visited him he wouldn't give my kids a piece of candy, he would give them a whole bag lol. Means the world to me my kids grew up knowing and loving him. When they came in town and stayed with me it was such a delight. This past January I took a trip to Texas for another car and he was badly ill in the hospital. He was unresponsive for 5 days. The night I went up to see him he just happened to regain consciousness. I was able to tell him about the trip with the kids and how much we all loved him. And he told me that he loved me though it was thru great strain for him because he was so weak. Told the nurses it was the playoffs if he's awake or not make sure you have the games on for him. There was no one greater person to talk sports with. He had a deep long history of watching sports and I always would soak up all his knowledge. He was the absolute most giving man I ever met. He was an actual tough guy but never had to act like he was. I learned a lot from him on how to be a good person. To think about things because there is always two sides. You will always be remembered and loved by the Oaks family. Like he would always say getting off the phone.... Bye-bye Uncle Jay.....❤️❤️❤️
Jay, as he was lovingly known spent 20 years with his 2nd wife and was as faithful as he was to his first. He became a loving dad and grandpa to his extended family as well as his four other children, Brett, Gina, Scott and Gary. I can't even count how many grandchildren and great grandchildren he has. I personally, loved him with all my heart and called him dad. What a soul that left us, connected us and loved us. He is so missed! I thank God for his connection to Mary, Noah and I, and the love and friendship i have with his kids and loved ones. Jay Noble, you were one of a kind....and I like to see you take 'big steps'. My children and I will cherish the years we had with you and will never forget the love you have shared freely.

It is with a tremendously heavy heart I say goodbye to my Big Brother Jay.
He was one of the best big brothers a sister could ever ask for. He was there for me when I was afraid, heartbroken, sad or scared. He was always an absolute source of comfort to me.
The love that Jay had for his mother, siblings, family and especially his Babies was certainly something to be emulated!
I can’t help but smile when I think of all of us as a family sharing so many joys. There always being lots of laughter and having such good times e.g. dancing in the front room on 119th..
I will miss his warmth, compassion, his gravelly voice, that unique ‘Jay smile’ and laugh... All of the things that made him My Brother Jay.
Much love,
Your Baby Sister Lisa
