ABOUT JAY 

Jay Chapman was born May 3rd, 1981.  Growing up just south of Atlanta, Jay defined what an avid Atlanta sports fan was! He loved the Braves, Falcons, Hawks, and most importantly, the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.  Jay was always a natural in whatever sport he decided to play… whether it was baseball, basketball, golf, and later flag football.  He attended Fayette County High School where he excelled as a student athlete.  While attending West Georgia, Jay became a focal point of the University’s intramural program excelling in everything from flag football, basketball, softball, and was even known to be an exceptional kayaker.  Due to his excellence in athletics, Jay was a three-time intramural athlete of the year at the University.  After college, Jay’s passion was teaching history and coaching.  He coached softball, basketball, and baseball for South Cobb High School.  Anyone who knew Jay knew how much he loved coaching and helping the adolescents that he taught and coached on a daily basis. On May 22nd, 2009, Jay died in an automobile accident.  A fraternity brother was driving Jay’s truck and they were hit by a wrong way driver on the Interstate just outside of New Orleans. The driver was not seriously injured, but Jay was killed instantly. Jay was engaged to be married in less than 2 months, but was tragically taken from us before that part of his life could begin. Jay was an incredible person that made you smile and laugh and he lived life to its fullest.  To know Jay was to love him…
