Comments: It is a tragic loss. I remember the Jahnke's from Spring Branch High days, and it is a shame that such a burden has been put on their hearts. Our prayers are with them.

Comments: I Grew Up With Jay's sister Marianne, snd spent a lot of time at the Jahnke home. Even as a little boy, Jay had a great sense of humor and loved to have a good time. He was very witty, and got a big kick out of bugging Marianne, Beth, and myself. Claude and Kay were such great parents,and had such a wonderful, close-knit family.

Thank you, Jay, for all of your sacirfices to protect and save lives, while doing the job you loved. You really left an impact on anyone who knew you!

My prayers go out to Dawn, Hunter & Jayne, Kay Jahnke, Marianne and Tommy and family, Karen and Rod and family, Jeff, his wilf and family, along with the rest of Jay's family and all of the brave Houston Fire-Fighters that also loved Jay - They are truly our heroes.

Love, Judi

Comments: I grew up with Marianne and spent time at her house with her, her parents and siblings. Jay was a few years behind us but knowing that he grew up to be such a wonderful person makes me glad. I lost some of my family when I was 17 and I know the hurt the family is going through. Please know that you will never forget him and he will always be a part of each of you. The service he performed for this city is admirable and his family and friends should be so proud. I hope his wife and children keep him in their hearts and continue life with the knowledge that he would want them to grab the most out of life and live life doing the things they most love, as he did. My heart goes out to all of you.
