Prior to 3rd grade Jay moved to Arnold, Maryland where Jay attended St. John the Evangelist. Even at his early age Jay demonstrated his wonderful wit and humor which he continued to maintain up to his final moments of life. Jay began his high school career at Martin Spalding where he was a two sport star in both soccer and lacrosse, ultimately receiving a soccer scholarship to James Madison University.

All Magner get togethers were "family" events which included non-family s and friends, alike. This loving environment was the framework that made Jay such a wonderful dad to his two precious girls, Erin Faith and Colleen Joy. Even under duress battling his disease Jay never complained and always displayed an inner strength that along with all his other wonderful qualities as reflected in the values his parents instilled in Jay.
