Jay Logan Stokes Obituary Published by Gramkow Funeral Home & Crematory Born in Key West on November 4th, 1949 to Paul and Betty Stokes, Jay was the oldest of his siblings. Known for his undeniable presence, Jay's personality was equally matched by his physical stature. He spent his formative years developing as a student-athlete at Seminole High School, and later played five years of college football at Florida State University, an experience he cherished. Part of a great brotherhood, Jay remained in contact with several of his teammates for the remainder of his life. His fondness for learning led to a master's degree in Business Administration at FSU, in addition to master's degrees in education and exercise physiology at the University of Central Florida. He spent several years as a teacher, coach and assistant principal in Seminole County, known as "Coach Stokes" by peers and students alike, but for the last 20 years, enjoyed working as a Registered Nurse in both the Cath lab and the Interventional Radiology lab at Florida Hospital. His favorite endeavor was the role of grandfather to Eli, Emie and Elliot, his "babies" as Jay called them, and the last five years of his storied life were dedicated to them. Jay's legacy is one of
courage, commitment, strength and love. He spent his life developing his
character, valuing loyalty, honesty, work-ethic and resiliency, but above
all, his faith. |
