Dear John and Barbara and family, Please be assured that we are keeping you close to our hearts and including you in our prayers. Warm love, Daniel and Colette Worth
John and Barbara: Jean and I offer our sincere condolences and prayers. Jay was our son Rob's first best buddy and I can still see them carrying those cut off golf clubs we had made them and grinding like it was the US Open and having the best time. Rob is really having a tough time digesting this as he and Jay had just recently started texting again and they really enjoyed each others company respected each other for what they were. Sometimes there just is not an easy answer to explain what is happening and this is one of those times. I will always remember Jay as a happy kid that did it his way and had a big heart. May he rest in peace!
Barbara and John, I am so sorry to hear about jay . J had a very big heart and was a very kind person and he will be missed dearly by many .my deepest sympathies and condolences.
So many memories made. So many tears cried, but most of all So many laughs made everyday weather work or play , rain or shine. J always found a way to keep me guessing & growing. I will never forget our time together JJ YOU WILL ALWAYS BE MY BROTHER. MISSING YOU ISNT EASY BUT KNOWING YOUR LOOKING DOWN ON US ALL BRING COMFORT TO MY HEART. LOVE YOU DEARLY BROTHER THROUGH THE UPS AND DOWNS. YOUR BROTHER FOREVER LD.

Hey my bestie I miss you so much, you was taking from us way to soon.. Sierra came home the day you and her hung out last and sang to me the song you told her to sing to me, and then showed me her tattoo..God I was so mad at you!! But of course after hearing the song I started laughing..I never could stay mad at you for long…I just wish I picked up the phone right then..Now it's too late..I still have your voice mail on my phone..I listen to it often..My bestie I never said Thank you, Thank you for being there for me and believing in my when no one else did, and for all our get aways to the beach with no purpose at all..We had so much fun..Stevie B' that's another one of my favorite memories. The girls loved it.. You know Sierra misses you more then she shows..I see the hurt she feels when your name is mentioned.. You know she always said you were the one who was gonna walk her down the isle when she got married. She always looked at you like a father figure..I hate you'll never get that chance.. Gawd why does this hurt so bad?? I'm not sure what to say. Life will never be the same with out you..You will always be my bestie.. until we're together again. Love you infinity!!
Today, I googled my friend , J Hoce, so that I could show off his beautiful tattoo work to my boss who is thinking of getting some more done. When I saw that Google pulled up and obituary for him my heart think. J was a true friend to me we went to a rehab program together and we got clean together and when I relapsed… and was so completely lost after my mom passed away… it was Jay who showed up for me. I wish I could have told him how much that meant to me and that he probably saved my life. I wish I could tell him that I think of him all the time and how grateful I was to have met him and had him in my life even as sporadic as our friendship was. My world is a little dimmer without him in it.
