JAY THACKER

Jay Thacker was more than a man who built walls; he was the glue that held so much together. His hands crafted structures, but his heart crafted connections, bringing love and warmth to the people fortunate enough to call him family or friend.

Among those who knew and loved Jay, his sister Donna held a bond with him that was unshakable. Donna wasn’t just his sibling—she was his confidante, his supporter, and someone who shared in the unique joys and challenges that life brought their way. The way she speaks of Jay reflects a love that is deep and enduring, a testament to their shared memories and the years spent growing and navigating life together.

Donna's care for Jay didn’t stop with his passing. By sharing his story, she keeps his legacy alive—a legacy of hard work, humor, and a heart full of compassion. She wants the world to remember him as she does: a loving brother who always made time for family, a man who poured his kindness into everything he did, and someone who made those around him feel seen and cherished.

Jay undoubtedly felt the same love for Donna, a bond woven through years of shared laughter, stories, and unspoken understanding. Donna’s role in his life wasn’t just as a sister; she was a cornerstone of his world, someone he could count on and who always had his back.
