Patrick Henry Jayne

Pat was born on March 12, 1946, in Chillicothe, OH, to Hudson and Marie (Canavotto) Jayne. He served his country in the United States Navy (Seabee). He received a degree from The Ohio State University and owned a business in Charlotte, NC.

Pat loved life and made the most of each day. A trip to Costco always turned into a hilarious outing. He was known for his quick wit, and he could talk to anyone about anything. He loved meeting new people. Pat had a passion for history and music and stories, some factual and others not so much, which he would draw out to the most hilarious conclusions. A man of many words, his joy was found in the telling.

Pat was preceded in death by his parents; his brothers, Hudson and John; and his first wife, Janet. He is survived by his wife, Kay; his two children, Erin and Jonathan; his son-in-law, Jason; his beloved grandchildren, Camryn and Holden; his siblings, George, Lorena, Nancy, Roberta, and Patsy; and his faithful dog, Daisy.

Pat was truly a great man whose impact will forever be felt by the family that loves him dearly and knows that they will see him again. A private service will be held in the fall.
