courage and dedication to his country. Following his military service, Jay enjoyed his career at Auburn University, where he was well-respected by his colleagues and students alike.

A man of many interests, Jay relished the simple pleasures of life. He loved Alabama Crimson Tide football. He was an avid fisherman, often found on Lake Martin or Lee County Lake. Music filled his home and heart, often with a cold beer in hand surrounded by people he loved, sharing stories and laughter. He cherished the times spent at Orange Beach with his family, looking for seashells or simply enjoying the views. Jay was particularly fond of the holiday season, a time he spent baking with his wife and grandson and shopping for the perfect gifts for his family and friends.

Jay was a loving husband to Barbara, a devoted father to his daughter, Beth Sargent (Chris), and a doting Pawpaw to his grandson, Joel Davidson. He is also survived by his siblings, Steven Barnes (Pam) and Tammy Blue.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Clinnie Mae Arwood, and his grandfather, George “Paw” Arwood Sr.

A visitation was held Aug. 30 at Frederick-Dean Funeral Home.
