Comments: I went to school with Jay and was so glad to see him again at Rose Of Sharon Church after all these years. I know Jay will be missed by many. We can all rest easy knowing that we have an Angel up there on a HARLEY.

Comments: Kim, I can't tell you how heartbreaking this was to hear about Jay. Debbie was actually there at Myrtle Beach that weekend. As soon as I found out about it I tried to find you but you're obviously not listed and neither is Brenda, but my whole heart goes out to you, Brenda, James and Jay's wife and children. I actually called the place where Jay worked (I got the name from the newspaper article) and spoke to the guy he worked for. He seemed like such an nice person who really cared about Jay. I told him that I'd grown up with you and Jay and he was very consoling whiled I broke down into tears. I was trying to get a number for you but he only gave me Dana's and Vickie's and I just haven't gotten up the nerve to call either one them. I really wanted so bad to come to the furneral but I just couldn't make it on such short notice. I'm there in the area a lot and I would really LOVE to see you and Brenda if that's possible. I'm there almost every other weekend, see mom is very sick. She is in the late stages of pancreatic cancer so I try to get home to spend as much time with her as possible. If you want, please e-mail me. I would love to talk with you. I certainly wish I had kept in touch with Jay. I keep the newspaper article with his picture on my dresser for now. Even though it's just a black & white copy I am going to put it in a frame. Your family holds a very special place in my heart. We spent a lot of time together growing up and your mom and dad were there so much for us when we really needed help. I've never forgotten that and never will. Please give my love to Brenda and James and Jay's family. I really hope to hear back from from you soon. Lots of love, Andrea McKenzie

Comments: Hi, I grew up with Jay and his family and my heart goes out to all of you. I saw him a while back and he was still the sweet guy that I've always known. Andrea and I have were devastated to hear about Jay and we have remembered all the good times we had as kids. He'll be in our hearts always. Debbie

From: Elizabeth Norwood - Durham, NC - elizabeth.norwood@duke.edu

Comments: Jay was my husband's very best friend since they were 6 years old. They were like brothers. I have known Jay for 18 years, ever since Dana and I began dating. In fact, I think Jay was with Dana when he asked me out the first time and was with us on most of our dates. We had alot of good times together the three of us and alot of memories. I will miss the stories Jay and Dana would share about their wild times as kids and teenagers. He was Uncle Jay to my 6 year old son who just can't understand why his "Uncle Jay" isn't here to help him and his dad with the motorcycle and his dirt bike. We lost a very important member of our family when we lost Jay. Our lives a far richer for having him with us and knowing him so closely. Few have the opportunity to have a friend as close to the heart as Dana had in Jay. They were a pair! Almost scary the way they could read each other's minds. They could speak to each other without ever saying a word. The world lost one of the best men it will ever know on May 17, 2003. This was also my son's 6th birthday. Jay used to joke with me about Jesse being born a few hours short of his birthday. He would ask me "Couldn't you wait a little longer?" Dana, Jesse and I will miss Jay very badly. Dana has lost the closest person in the world to him and Jesse lost his "Uncle Jay". Brenda, we will help you find justice for Jay! We love you and Kim very much and are here for you. All our love, Dana, Elizabeth (Lizzy) and Jesse

From: Sharon Reinders - Raleigh NC - sreindersandjj@aol.com

Comments: When I met Jay's father, I also had the honor of meeting his two wonderful and inspiring children, Kim and Jay. I am so sorry that his "Daddy", as Jay called him, will not be able to spend any more time with him, watch him grow old, or share any of the things that a parent hopes to share with their children as they go through life. Life without Jay in it is very difficult. I feel badly that Jay's life was taken by two heartless young men who didn't even stop to hold his hand as he died and we really miss him. Love, Sharon.

Comments: We know Vicki, Joey and Jay through Vicki's sister, Gina and her family. We love the family - all of them are just down to earth, good people. We are saddened over their loss of Jay - he was truly a great person! We hope that Justice will soon come for Jay's death. Our support and love goes out to the entire Jarman family.

From: Steve Frechette - Cary, North Carolina - smf363@aol.com

Comments: I first met Jay as a customer at Bikers Blvd in 1999 and joined Jay's extended family at Bikers Blvd as an employee in April 2003. As a customer and a co-worker, I can't recall a single time when Jay didn't take time to answer questions or share his wealth of knowledge about Harley's. He was even more passionate about his family and to me, balanced both like no one I have ever met. I was kind of hoping to learn from Jay the secret. I was with Stephen that Saturday morning when the call from the hospital was received at Bikers Blvd. The only way I can describe my feelings that moment and days to follow was "surreal." I continue to recall the story the pastor told during the funeral about life's journey. I have to remind myself that each of us are on a journey and nothing we can do will change how that journey ends. Understanding that has enabled me to accept that Jay is no longer with us but has done little for the anger I have towards the ones that ended Jay's journey. I will always remember Jay standing next to a bike working with a smile on his face. My deepest sympathies, Steve F.

Comments: My heart goes out to you and your family, for the loss of your brother. I'm the Asst Coordinator for Horry County ABATE, and I will ask the question WHY, it doosn't seem right that the boys weren't charged and held. People are held for DUI charges. And these boys fled the State and went home. And with some time to get there story straight they turned themselves in, Please keep me in touch about the outcome. Elizabeth Lauer

From: Vickie, Jay & Joey - Durham North Carolina - Vtwin6@nc.rr.com

Comments: In honor of my husband Jay, I would just like to say he was the best thing that ever happened to me and my kids. We loved each other so much. He was a devoted son, brother, husband and father. I never thought he would leave this world like this, he had so much left to do. Anyone that knew him will tell you how great he was. The kids and I are still in denial about everything that is going on. His devoted family and friends are helping us with the pain. I know I will see Jay again in Heaven one day. Please keep us in your prayers and thank you for all your kind words. From: Vickie Jarman wife of Jay - Jay & Joey Whitaker stepchildren he claimed as his own - Jessica & Bandit his beloved dogs.

Comments: We miss Jay so much. We called him Big jay and and his stepson was Little Jay. Big Jay, Vickie, Little Jay and Joey live right across the road from us.Anytime we need help Big Jay was there for us. He was such a loving husband for our daughter. They had such a sweet marriage. They love each other so much. He was a wonderful stepdad for jay and Joey. He provided for them as if they were his very own.He sacrificed alot of his desires for their needs. He has two sister-in-laws,Gina and Lisa,two brother-in-laws Ronnie and Kevin, four nephews Kyle, Tyler, Cody, Chase and one niece Victoria that loved him and miss him so much. Big Jay's death has affected this family greatly. Thirty-five years was not enough time for Big Jay to have with his family.We love you Big Jay and thank you for what you meant to our family.

From: Angie Moss - Kittrell N.C. 27544 - rod@vance.net

Comments: I myself just lost my son,and I know that nothing compares to the loss of a child. I did not have the opportunity to know Jay, but I do know his sister Kim,and from talking with her I feel as if I do. He sounds just as wonderful and loving as my son Tyler. People just simply cannot understand what it means to lose a child, you don't just lose your child, you also lose your whole sense of life, nothing will ever be the same again. Although our situations are different I understand your pain, if I can do anything please let me know. No crime such as this should go unpunished.

From: John Holden (Jay's Nephew) - Hillsborough, NC - xmealfreakx@yahoo.com

Comments: Dude, Jay was one of the few family that had wild streak in him. When others saw me as a rough neck or outcast, Jay saw me as an individual. He always encouraged me to do what ever it was that i do best. I just wish that i could one day own a creation of my own. I'm currently designing a tattoo for myself in memory of Jay at The Tattoo Asylum in Durham. It's an honor to be able to submit this. Good luck to the rest of you guys. ---JOHN----

From: Barbara Garrett - Heidelberg Germany - blgarrett99@aol.com

Comments: Having lost a brother in a very similar manner, I can feel most of what you feel. They say one must 'walk a mile in another's moccasins' and I have done that. Myrtle Beach was my home away from home when I came to stay with Pinky. The bike community will band together and justice will be done. These boys must carry the weight of what they have done throughout their lives. They MUST be made to remember as those who are touched the most will remember. I call on my fellow bikers to make their voices heard in the halls of justice.

Comments: I came to know the Jarman family some six years ago when I moved here from Richmond. I have never met a more giving and caring family than the Jarman's. I remember the first time I met Jay - he was cracking jokes and smiling from here to tomorrow. I never remember seeing Jay without a smile on his face or a helping hand to lend. He made me feel like one of the family whenever I attended a backyard BBQ or Thanksgiving get-together. I had no family here in NC, but The Jarman's quickly made me one of their own. Jay you were a man of determination, good will, respect, and honesty. Qualities which are far and few between in this world. Your physical presence may no longer be on this earth, but your spirit and soul will live on in the hearts and minds of those who loved you and knew you!! You were one of a kind Jay. I look forward to seeing you again in the future and sharing a chuckle.

Comments: I am Big Jay's sister in law. Jay was a kind loving, thoughtful, caring person. Here's alittle story that happened the week before he was killed. Our birthdays are a week apart. In the past years since he has been with my sister we would have our birtday party together . Well this year my sweet Jay told my sister since my birthday was on mother's day and it was my 40th birthday he wanted it to be my special day. Just me. We would celebrate his when he came home from bike week. Well we never got to celebrate his birthday. Birthday's for me now will never be the same. That's just the kind of guy he was always thinking of someone else. I miss my Big Jay. Love ya always, Gina

From: Ginger Towner - Durham, NC - ptowner@nc.rr.com

Comments: I first met Jay 19 years ago when we both worked at Lowe's. I worked in the office and Jay and his best friend Dana worked in the warehouse. We had a lot of fond memories. Amazingly, he ended up marrying my best friend's sister. I have known Vickie and her family almost all of my life. Vickie's mom is like my 2nd mom and Gina, Vickie and Lisa are like my sister's. They are very special to me and I love them very much. Jay was such a rare find. He gave everything he had to everything he did; Whether it was being a husband, father, son, brother, worker or friend. I feel honored to have known him. It is hard to believe that he is gone. I know he is in heaven guarding and watching over his family, friends and co-workers. I often think of Jay and miss him dearly. I can not think of Jay w/out thinking of those he has left behind. His family is lost w/out him. Big Jay was so devoted to his wife and "sons". He loved them very much. I am going to miss you Jay. I hope that I can be there for Vickie, Little Jay and Joey so it will make you proud. Love ya, Ginger

Comments: As I read the articles about this terrible accident, I realize just how un-justified our criminal justice system really is. My heart goes out to all of this man's family. Please do not lose faith that true justice will prevail and these BOYS, not "men", will be punished to the full extent of the law. I was there during Bike Week too. God Bless You All.

From: Chrissy Addison - Durham, NC - KrazyCLA@yahoo.com

Comments: Vickie, Jay and Joey are my cousins, and so that makes Big Jay my step cousin (although he was family). On Valentines Day of this yea,r me and my best friend got in a minor car accident. We were rear-ended while turning into my street, the same street Vickie and them live. Well Big Jay was in the car behind the one that hit us (he was going home too), being the nice guy he was he came and made sure that everything was okay and that we werent hurt. He stayed there right with us until everything was taken care of. This just shows how selfless and caring of a person Jay really is, always there to help out and never asking anything in return. Sometimes I just wish there was a way I could have returned the favor. His family and everyone who had the privilege of knowing Jay are in my prayers, because everyone who knew him was affected by the tragedy that happened. I will also miss seeing him in the sound booth at Rose of Sharon smiling and encouraging me as I (or anyone else) would sing. He is deeply missed.

My prayers go out to Vickie and her family... may God bless you all. Love, Robin

We only wish that we both could tell him how much respect we had for him. Vickie and I grew up together and it breaks my heart to see her alone. I pray that God will grant her peace and understanding until she can see Jay again in Heaven.

Comments: Kim, I don't know if you remember me or not, we went to High School together. I received an email with the information about your brother last night from Joanne. I spent the morning reading through all that has happened. I am so sorry for your loss. The website really portrays Jay as a man with deep connections with his family and I can only imagine the depth of pain you all feel everyday. I pray for justice. I know it will not take the pain away, but I can imagine it would bring some sense of closure to this tragedy. I pray for God's grace and comfort to you and your family as you walk through this pain every day for the rest of your lives. You are a good sister. You have truly honored his life in your writings.

My family and I send our deepest sympathy and our endless prayers to you and to everyone Mr. Jarman has touched understanding he will live on in God's name spiritually and through you and your family physically. As peaceful as the man, Mr. Jarman's smile exposes may peace override your heart as he would want it that way... We will continue to pray over you and everyone affected by your brothers untimely demise but the truth be told he still alive in a place we are trying our hardest to be, if he could return he would stay where he is in the presence of HIS FATHER "GOD."

You are a great person with extraordinary talent. Keep your head up and look to one closest to you for support and guidance.

God is the ultimate Judge. I need to know nothing escapes his eye. Jay is "Home" now.

Comments: To Jay's family-my deepest sympathies. The death of a loved one is hard enough, let alone when such brutal injustice is tolerated. I am interested in the outcome of this case against these 2 killers. A similar scenario occurred up this way when a fellow biker was killed by a driver who couldn't speak English when the police got there. I just can't understand why the SC legislators helping you?

Comments: Vicki, Laura and I are so sorry for the loss of Jay. It was a privilege to be asked to be one of his pallbearers. I only knew Jay for the 2 years that I worked at Bikers Boulevard. However, He was the first one that I met when I went in to see about a job. He was very excited to get someone else on the "Team". He and I spent many nights after work discussing ways to help make the business a better place to be and work. He had a lot of great ideas. All of them took all the other employee's into consideration. He was always even tempered. You could always count on him for the answer to a question or a quick favor. The thing that I will always remember about Jay was the look on his face as he was leaving work the day he was going to Myrtle Beach. He had the biggest grin on his face. I told "Jaybob" to be careful and to take care of Mark. With their H-D engines thumping, he looked at me and said "Right on man" ! with that, he clicked into gear, looked at Mark and said "Let's Ride" !.. Ya, That's the way it's supposed to be. Doing what you love and being doing with the people you love with the people who love you in support. We Love you Vicki..Keep Rockin' (It's the way it's supposed to be). There will be Justice for Jay..Believe me Kevin and Laura Loewe

We have attended several gatherings at "The Wilkersons" and spent time with Jay and Vickie but not as many as I would have liked to. A few weeks before May 17 I went on a "Poker Run" hosted by University Ford North. Myself and 100+ other bikers went on a 100 mile ride. This was a last minute ride on my part and I had no partner to ride with. I thought about Jay 20 minutes before we departed,but figured it was to late to call him.I wished I would have called. It would have been my best ride ever....We Love you and miss you Jay! The Braeutigam Family

I don't think I've ever met anyone like him. I never got the chance to really have a drawn out conversation with him but would have loved to. Jay was so easy to get along with. My prayers go out to Vicki and the rest of the family. And you better believe there WILL BE Justice for Jay!!

He was a great friend to her and good dad to her sons. I am very close to my brothers and sisters and know that your family misses Jay very much. I could not ever think about leaving someone that was hurt alone. I hope your family gets justice for what happened so the family can have closeure. The healing time will be different for all of you, but as close as your family is it will help you so much. I have two sons that I love very much and I will keep your family in my thoughts.

Comments: So sad that a person can be robbed, viciously robbed of their most precious possession, their life - - and it can go unpunished. Like most accidents involving a car running over one of us, it was an accident. But it was caused by folks breaking the law, not being mindful, piloting tons of steel Under the Influence, etc. Why is it so hard to see that while yes, these men are really still boys, they DO have to account for what happened. I'm sure it will stay with them forever, and as a Christian, I can say with certainty God deals with all things. But still... at my age, and being in the biker community as I am, I see too much of this, more than enough to prove that killing bikers is NOT a crime on the highways and byways of the Carolinas. In some cases, it has even been downright lawful. Bikers rights organizations in both the Carolinas are going for harsher penalties for those who fail to yield the right of way - killing us by turning left in front of us; and are pushing a grassroots effort to investigate wrongful deaths by motor vehicle that has come to light louder and stronger over the past couple years. This is not some whim, it is because dammit, this happens too much, no.. even one death like Jay's going unpunished is too much. Being young and dumb does not excuse it - - wasn't it the young and dumb who were responsible for felling a tree across a road that took the life of another Bikers Boulevard employee not too long ago? To Jay's family, my continued condolences. I wish you the best of luck in bringing about some sort of resolution that fits the case here. I did not know Jay at all - - but hopefully something positive can be made of this for the brothers and sisters of the road that he leaves behind. Take comfort in your memories and enjoy the things of life as Jay would have done.

Comments: Since this tragedy happened I have been trying to think of something I could say to give this family some comfort. Things like what a good guy Jay was, how he helped everyone and loved his family. Truth of the matter is I didn't know Jay very well even though I have known his sister going on 18 years now. Through this website however, I think that I have grown to know the lovely soul knonw as Jay Christopher Jarman. What a wonderful tribute this is to him. As for the magical phrase of comfort, there isn't one. All I can offer is my friendship, love and support which is constant. Those things comforted me when I lost my brother many years ago. God speed Jay, and please know Kim, Brenda, Vickie and the rest of the family that you are always in my prayers.

Here in Mercer County we used to have a state trooper by the name of Brogan. If there is any relation, this could explain the lack of justice. Sadly, we all know how the police take care of their own.

Failure of the authorities to prosecute those who kill bikers should lead to their own prosecution because of failure to uphold the laws equally.

During Thanksgiving at Nancy's, Debbie showed me your website for Jay. I just wanted to let you know that I'm hurting for you and that even long lost friends feel the impact of such devastating and heart rending events. Our lives are just speck in the enormous scheme of things and news such as this reminds us of the uncertainty of it. God bless you and all the family.

I, too, ride and know that my life can end like Jay's, through no fault of my own, but because someone else was an idiot. The fact that Jay's murderers are not yet behind bars is a special pain that you should not have to live with. It's inconceivable, that you could lose someone that you love and there be no justice. Like I said, there are no words, and I cannot think of anything else to say, except God be with you through this terrible time. I hope that time will eventually soothe your heart. Sandy

Comments: I just visited Jay at his website, and wanted to say Thanks for letting me meet him! I lost my Brother to a MVA also. He was hit HEAD-ON IN HIS LANE,and because he wore a Patch on his back, was tested for drugs & alcohol as he lay dead in the ditch.But like Jay,he did not drink or do drugs.As for the driver he was released at the scene, and to quote our local paper "no citations were issused". Lenny had just moved into a new home, and I called him that morning to tell him that we {me & mine} and another couple were meeting at their house to go riding. He told me "Sister,I'm pretty busy and its going to rain" & my reply was "Whats wrong Brother, you scared to ride in the rain?" He did meet us and as we left that morning, a butterfly lit on his shoulder & rode all the way down the road before it flew off. I now know it was an angel. We separated a couple of hrs later, and he got killed on the way home. That was in 99 & like your family to this date,there have been no charges against the driver, 2 witness but no charges. Please try to find peace inside yourself, for Jay. My heart is with you & your family, I like to think that maybe Jay and my Brother Lenny and all the others are riding that highway in the sky & the Thunder we hear is the rumbling of their motorcycles as they ride free forever. God Bless

Abate of Pa. District 3, Chapter 27-Mon Vally, and the CMA - Christian Motorcyclist Association Washington Pa. chapter 570 - Chariots for Jesus, and I hope and pray all you bikers know, and relize just how close you/we all are to meeting our maker, every time we swing our leg over that machine, and roar off into the sunset. I've seen the look in the bikers faces, at the funerals, at the bike blessings, they know, they know..... Please consider setting things right between you and our Lord Jesus, now, before it's too late, you never know when it's your time, remember to me, your the other guy... we all think like that, never me, but them. well, it's too late for them, but not for you reading this. accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, live for Him. and ride free of the worry and fear of what happens after you bite the big one.

Riders from all over this great country know of Jay's passing. Our hearts ache for Jay's family. I'd also like to take a moment to say that Jay's family is not alone in their grieving. Many family's of US soldiers also grieve this holiday season. Every night before dinner, my 11 year old daughter says this prayer for our soldiers fighting for our freedoms: "Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. Amen" God Bless Jay Jarman and our brave US Soldiers. Vinny Neumann www.NCRider.com

I almost left the highway trying to keep him from hitting me (crossed over the white line) and he blew his horn at me. I consider this to be one of the best memorial sites. Imforming others of things like this and giving all of the details makes a very big difference and I really appreciate your efforts. I wish you the best. Dan Cook

Comments: To my friend Kim and the rest of Jay's family...Although I've felt such deep sorrow since you first lost Jay, this is the first time I've written in this guest book. I'd never met Jay, only knew of him from Kim's talking about her brother. May this new year bring you some comfort and peace. This is a beautiful memorial and site.

Comments: My simple words cannot express my sincerest condolences to the family and friends of Jay. We have all lost brothers and sisters in the same manner and my heart goes out to you all. This terrible tragedy has galvanized bikers across the country into action. Anyone who hears or reads the tale is not only shocked but also outraged. While we hope justice will be swift and terrible, we also know that we cannot let Jay's life and the lives of so many others who have been cut down just fade away. We MUST pressure those in power to bring maximum sentences on those who run us down. And if that isn't enough, we must go to our legislatures and make things right. We cannot allow tragedies like this to continue. Let us make a difference for Jay and all those who were taken from us way too early by drivers who just plain weren't paying attention.

Comments: First, let me express my deepest condolences to the family for your loss. I can only hope that time will heal your wounds. I will pray for relief for your families grief. All you can do at this time is "believe" that justice will be served in this matter! I am secretary for the State of Wyoming ABATE. I was emailed by Vinnie and asked to visit the website and sign the guest book. Please let me know if there is anything else that I can do. I had a prolonged separation from my youngest son and he was not home for the holidays in 6-years. I understand how everything is different when one of the family is not there to celebrate with you. It felt as if something was missing for me. All I can do is to suggest you hold on to the "good memories", and that will help you through the difficult times and holidays. I know that we had a similar situation here in Cheyenne Wyoming where a biker was hit and killed in the last year. At first the person driving the vehicle was not charged with anything. That person claimed to not see the motorcycle. However, with a big outcry from the public and all the biker organizations in the area the perpetrator was charged with multiple infractions including vehicular manslaughter, as well as vehicular assault. This person has not yet been sentenced, but that is coming up in the next few months. God Bless you all and take care!! :)

Me and my wife hope that you are able to get through this and we hope that some justice will be served, whether it be in the court system or outside of it in some other form.

At the moment I am living in The Netherlands Antilles and I know we all have to drive carefully. Luckily haven't experienced such terrible death of any of my motorcyclist friends so far, but the idea really horrifies me. I am sorry such things happen, to people who mean no harm at all.

Comments: I am very sorry for your loss. If there is anything that I could do to help, please let me know. We to are going through a similer loss. Please read our story. IN HIS OWN WORDS: "But if someone told me I was going to jail for two days for speeding, my driving habits would change," then-Gov. Janklow said in a State of the State speech in 1999. "I can pay the ticket, but I don't want to go to jail." That is a clip from a website but it says a lot. It says that if people know there is tougher penalties for pulling out in front of or turning in front of a biker, they would open their eyes and see them. They would not try to hurry and cut them off. Here is another clip: March 6, 2003 - Rome Daily Sentinel A teen-ager charged with traffic infractions in a Sept. 15 crash that killed Edward J. Uhl and Ursula A. Platt plead?ed guilty to failure to yield the right of way in City Court today. Judge Daniel C. Wilson sentenced Jacob A. Reader, 17, of 8442 Halstead Road, Town of Vienna, to 15 days in county jail. He must also pay a $100 fine, and $30 surcharge. The sentence was the maximum allowed by law. Ed and Ursula were very good friends of ours. We were supposed to be with them. If we were we would have been side by side with them, then four would have been killed. There is a lot more to this story than what that clip says. The boy that hit them, hit them head on in their lane. They went almost to the curb on their side of the road to avoid him. He still hit them head on. He had lost his license from a DWI plead down to DUI. He was driving to Walmart on a work license in his moms truck. He works in Camden and lives in McConnellsville. I thought there was zero tolerance for drug or alcohol related offenses for someone under 21? Well he was driving and killed two people. Because of our laws he got the maximun sentence. Is that fair? Answer: No it is not! That is why I am writing you. I am urging you to support this new legislation. I am urging anyone I can get to listen to support it. If you would like to see my web site, here is the address: http://groups.msn.com/FriendsofEdandUrsula Some of Ed's and some of Ursula's family belong to the site along with friends that have computers.It has links to ABATE, AMA and representatives so others can get involved also. Most members are in favor of the Yield the Right of Way Legislation as am I.

I went head on with a Ford Explorer, when a lady turned across my lane of traffic, and she was cited for failure to yield but was not even given a ticket.

Comments: I was reading the issues from the ezine from Fast Fred. My heart felt condolences to all your family. I don't know Jay. I can truly understand the emotions that the entire family must have to endure. not just short term. But Long term as well for their loss of the one they love. as well as the terrible injustice which has been clearly envoked on a murderer and his accomplice. It is very disturbing with me to say the least. I won't go into all the details why I say this. But I've been down this road. I lived, yet living with the angers and the pains that are far deeper than a physical scar that lasts for a lifetime. I have often asked after reading this has anyone decided to contact the Attorney General and seek an appeal for a sentence to reflect the crime? I can't understand how this has happened. Well I can when I look back at what happened to me. In short, I was the victim of a hit and run as well. I wasnt on a motorcycle then. But I also had a Motorcycle accident that was from a failure to yield (left hand turn that catapulted me and the girl who was riding with me 200 ft down a divided highway in 1987). A drunk Driver was involved in the hit and run in 1982 and so many issues that I am not here to express, which took place in another terrible perversion of justice. Other than to let you know that there is someone out in the world who may not know Jay or his family but we have a similarity that brings us to a crossroad in life. My heart felt prayers goes to all of Jays family. E.R. Lofland

Comments: Shame on the judge. Those 2 slimes should have been made to pay restitution to Jay's widow. At least the proceeds of the sale of the car. Hopefully these 2 murderers will have no peace. Hound them as often and as much as you can. Please keep us informed of any thing we can do up here in Jersey. Sincerely Dennis McQuaid.

Comments: I was very disappointed when I saw the verdicts on the web page. Yes, they admitted guilt, but they never did serve one day for it. Five years probation is a long time for those two to be on their best behavior. They are not trustworthy, law abiding citizens and I have no doubt that they will violate their parole and HOPEFULLY spend some time in jail. Nonetheless, I am glad it did FINALLY go to trial (no thanks to the judicial system). Now maybe Jay's family and friends can start the healing process and truly believe that "what comes around, goes around." My thoughts and prayers are always with Jay's family and friends. Cassie

Comments: I usually do not sign quest books, however this is a special case. I think this family deserves some praise for what they have gone through and the hell of a fight they put up to get these two bastards their due justice. It is so often you hear about people giving up the good fight and this family did not. It's too bad the jail sentence was suspended but at least they were caught. Congradulations to the Jarman family. I am sure he is proud. Respectfully, Shaggy AFMC

Comments: I offer my condolences to the family in a very personal way as my "Bride" was killed by a hit/run driver just outside Greensboro, NC. last July. We were sitting on our bike in a traffic tie-up on I85 when we were broadsided by a van which could not stop for the traffic tie-up, skidded into the median, then drove across the interstate to reach a nearby exit ramp via the right shoulder, and left the scene. Apparently we were the smallest obsticle in her way to escape. She was located and arrested, posted bail, and I am now waiting to see what follows in the NC judicial system. After the incidents in SD., Iowa, and Jay's incident, I can only hope NC. will not consider a Wife, Mother, Grandmother, and Greatgrandmother's life worthless. No one can replace someone that shared 36 inches of saddle with me for thirty years in at least as many states. The real "kicker" is the hit/run operator IS a licensed RN (nurse)and had worked at the hospital where my "Bride" died. I wonder how many patients her caring compassion has affected and will she be turned loose to kill again in any fashion ???? My "Bride" was a nurse and I was a police officer for over 28 years. I have seen more grief and heartache than anyone can imagine. Both of us worked in professions dedicated to caring for people and it was always hard to comprehend that people like Jay's killers, my "Brides" killer, an others of similar ilk, can escape punishment, at least here on earth.

Comments: My prayers to the family and Jay. I am close to an event that took place in North Carolina last July in which the wife of a life long friend/fellow police officer was killed in a hit/run incident that took place near Greensboro, NC. I urge anyone who lives in NC to do whatever is necessary as citizens to enhance NC laws governing hit and run vehicular homicide cases - especially those involving motorcycles. We riders need to be respected as much as any other vehicular traffic. Please "do the right thing!"

Comments: first of all i want to say im not very good at putting my thoughts into words but im not trying to be mean in anyway i know urban i am not close with him never really liked him and think that he should be in more trouble then he is anyways to me it seems that it would be different if they had stopped?? if they stoped or not more then likly the same thing would have happened. i dont know im just confused. either way i would be mad. they shouldnt have left him but the fact that they didnt stop shouldnt be a problem the problem should be that your brother is no longer with you guys because of them. Maybe im wrong and just not reading it right i dont know but im very sorry for what has happened to you and your family. i dont know what i would do if i lost my child because of some careless driver I wish you all the strenght to get through all of this. LIke you said just because they werent sentenced that doesnt mean that they wont be which as long as i have known them both im sure they will be there within a year at least i know urban will. again im sorry for what you have to go through i couldnt even imagine. good luck to jays wife and sons and the rest of his family.

Comments: Dear Jarman Family, I can't begin to express how saddened I am to hear of this horrific tragedy. I remember Jay as Kim's little brother. In the mornings before school, back in 1980-81, I recall Jay cranking up the AC/DC as he got ready for school. I remember picking him up from school with Kim and watching as they argued over who was going to do this or that chore once they were home. Jay would start the laundry, Kim would clean the kitchen. They fought and resolved conflict like every normal brother and sister. And they were always there for one another. I feel like Kim's relationship with Jay mirrored my own with my sister, Angie. When mom or dad would gang up on one of us, the other also came to the rescue. I certainly saw that in Kim and Jay. I told Angie recently that when she was born, mom and dad gave me a lifelong bestfriend. My heart breaks for you, Kim. I can only imagine what it would be like to lose my sibling. As I have no children, I have no inkling of the pain that Brenda and James must feel everyday. (I hope you're considering a civil lawsuit against these wretched criminals.) Again, I can only offer my deepest sympathies. Kim,as I'm in Colorado, I can only be there for you in e-mail so please feel free to contact me.

Comments: I was greatly saddened when I learned about the death of you son, Jay, by way of the SCHP Fatality Memorial Web Site. No words can express the profound sorrow in your grief. I offer you my heartfelt sympathy. I, too, walk in your shoes. My family, too, has been devastated by an uncaring driver. Michael H., pulled out in front of my son in an 4 way intersection. Bobby, Jr. was also riding on his motorcycle and had the right of way. The suffering is hard to describe but believe me when I say I know how you feel. It is very difficult to understand why both of them have been subjected to injustice by the legal system in South Carolina. The driver who killed my son didn't even pay a fine. He was given the opportunity to plea down from failure to yield right of way to an improper start. I am deeply troubled about the way the system handled the killing of my son. I believe Bobby, Jr. and Jay have been subjected to the injustices here in SC because they were killed on a motorcycle.

Comments: Dear Jarman Family, As we enter the season of holidays like Mother's & Father's days, Anniversaries of painful events and graduations our loved ones will miss, I wanted you to know I was thinking of you. I tell you when I see you and still it doesn't feel like enough. I have not lost a child or a brother or a husband, but I have lost a Mother, a Father, a Grandmother and my best friend's brother in the past 5 years. I can tell you I understand there are times when you can be shopping and feel like someone is squeezing your heart in a vice. All the other shoppers walk around you as if the world is normal and you just want to scream out to them. Whether your angry or sad or lonely they just keep shopping. On especially hard days I have left my shopping cart and walked out. I know in my head they don't put up signs saying "Don't Forget Your Mom On Mother's Day" just to hurt me, but my heart still breaks. All I can do is tell you how I feel. I believe Jay is with you and watching over you. He loved you very much. You could see it when he hugged you or picked on you or showed you off. He wouldn't let you face this time without him. You each have family and friends that love you and want to be there for you when you need them. Just ask us. Sometimes we may seem like the Target shoppers who have no idea why I'm growling at them when they're buying Mother's Day cards, but we care about you very much. We each grieve differently. We are each deeply effected by different things. Others may never be able to understand exactly how you feel. All we can do is be there for you. So please forgive us for not knowing what to do and ask us if you need anything. To the rest of the World Wide Web, As I sat through memorial services and funerals I learned something. There is no right thing to say, because nothing is going to make it better. The only wrong thing to do is not be there for those you care about. Even if you can't speak, you can offer your hand in comfort. You show your true friendship in the hard times, because that's when your most needed. Please remember to be the friend that you want them to be in your hardship. There will come a day when everyone needs that support.

Comments: Hard to believe it's been a year since our lives were forever changed. This poem I wrote is my way of dealing with it all I guess. I still talk to Jay just like I did when he was here. I begin each conversation with "It's me Lizzy, Hey Jay are you there?" Dana, Jesse and I miss him so very much, our lives will never ever be the same. Kim and Brenda we love you and will keep on praying for the whole family.
Are You There?
It's Lizzy again, hey Jay, are you there?
I've put pen to paper my thoughts to share
They say time heals pain, but the pain, it's still here
We remember you frequently and wipe away our tears
You were a friend to all and one that was true
You are loved by many, no, not just a few
God called you home and obediently you went
No one could have known your time here was spent
His faithful follower, yes right to the end
A model husband, father and friend
To say that we miss you just doesn't come close
We know you went bravely with your heavenly host
May 17th, full circle one year
We miss you Jay and want you back here
To us you would say "Be happy not sad,
Remember the good times and laughs that we had"
We press on each day our hearts still are crushed
We'll visit with you Jay in the quiet and hush
We hang on by knowing we'll see you one day
"God give us strength" is the prayer that we pray
We'll see you on the streets of heaven so bold
Riding a Harley no doubt made of gold
You were taken so soon with so much left to share
Hey Jay, we miss you, are you listening up there?

Comments: I sent this to S.C. probation Dept. My heart goes out to you and your family. My friends and I regularly attend Myrtle Beach Bike Week and my family likes to vacation on your beautiful beaches. We will no longer vacation nor will my friends and relatives spend another penny in your state if Brandon Brogan and Daniel Urban are not brought to justice for probation violations following their sentence for killing Jay Jarmen. It is my understanding that they are from W.V. and probation is to be supervised there but was denied. These two killers are now on the street having skipped out from your probationary legal system and will kill again. Jail time is what is necessary for both of these un-repenting felons and until it happens I bid ado to South Carolina forever. Robert Edwards and family Fairview Tn. 37062

Comments: Being a fellow rider I really sympathize for the family involved here. Just today I ran down a driver who pulled out in front of me as I was going 60 and he proceeded to go 25. Well, he certainly knew I was there when I followed him to the gas station. He said he "didn't see me" amazing I thought as this old coot probably couldn't see his hood. I asked him if that was what he would have told my family and if he had any idea how many riders are killed by those who didn't see us. Man I was hot. Found this site this evening while perusing the clubs' forum page. http://sjhr.org/forums/index.php?s=2d026cd7f1cb852fa480c3ddb186a9ce Hope justice eventually gets served for your family.

Comments: I am saddened to here of your loss that occurred due to the ignorance of others. The culprits of this atrocity, regardless of age, must be held libel for their actions. We bikers must stand strong together to educate the public about who we are (mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, business owners, etc.) and let them know that we will not go away nor will we allow killers of our brothers and sisters to walk free. I will pray for you and your family daily so that some healing may occur in your heart. As a fellow biker, I love you and hope that this letter of support finds you still with the wind at your back and the road never ending.....

It took me some time to realize why his name sounded so familiar and it finally hit me that I knew him from bike organizations years ago out of Raleigh. Even though it has been many, many years since I last saw Jay I still remember what a fun guy he was. So full of life and constant energy. It is a real shame and came as a shock to learn of his tragic passing. For those who believe...Justice is always received by the faithful and those that do harm and feel no regret will receive their just punishment 10 fold. My wishes to the family.

Its funny isn't it how people can do such thoughtless things and live with themselves. My heart goes out to you and you will be in our daily Prayers, that these heartless people that hit your son can just live their lives as if nothing happened, Remember this though, They will pay the price when they meet their maker and to him they will have to pay!!! It sometimes is no comfort no matter what because nothing will ever be the same and for that I am truly sorry. I hope you are all ok and try to live in his memory as we do with Sarah I go to a counselor once a month it helps a little but we miss her, as I know you do your son. I just keep saying someday!!!!

Comments: I met Jay when he was barely in his twenties, through his sister, Kim, a dear friend of mine. When I think of Jay, I see him out in the yard, chopping wood for her, not because he had to, but because Jay was generous like that, and if something needed to be done, he did it. He got that generosity from his loving family, whom I was lucky enough to know. The Jarmans included me in some of their holidays, and I have a great memory of Jay and his dad out at "Granny's," one Christmas, admiring a new shotgun one of them got as a present. Jay's quiet kindness was what is meant by "lead by example." He had a generosity of spirit that always made others want to do a little better, stand a little taller. My heart goes out to the entire Jarman family and extended family. The world is a far sadder place without Jay in it, but we are all far better people for having known him.

Comments: First of all let me convey my sorrow at what loss your family has suffered at the hands of another and the legal system. I live in a state that i'm sad to say is the residence of the very persons that are responsible for your loss, my appologies. I and many others in this state are fighting all the time against ROW laws that are unjust especially to bikers in our state. It seems that at least you have some law in place in your state to fight with, in our state I can find no record of anyone that has been fined more than $300.00 and no one has gotten time for ROW violations (BIKERS KILLED), on top of that I can't find anyone that has gotten a point on their DL. WE WILL KEEP ON FIGHTING FOR BIKERS RIGHTS KNOW THAT JAY IS IN OUR HEART AND WE FIGHT ON

Comments: I have just read every page of this website and I am so sorry for what the family has had to go through. My friend asked me to take a look at the transcripts and to me--it just doesn't make moral sense. I am not familiar with South Carolina law--nor North Carolina law since I am a native of Florida. But I do know Florida law. And in Florida, every adult is accountable for his/her actions. This is obviously a situation of gross mishandling of the facts, both by the local police and the courts. As a family, keep up the letters and phone calls. Become your own lawyer, keep pushing the case in front of North Carolina & South Carolina lawmakers. Keep it in their face until SOMEONE has the compassion to take action. May angels watch over your family and bring you closure and peace. Mary Beth Mobley
