Jay was a son, brother, husband, and father.
To know Jay was to love Jay. He never met a stranger, and loved to teach and coach. A lifelong sports fan but a diehard New York Mets fanatic.
Jay was a history teacher at South Cobb High School. He coached hundreds of children at the Kennesaw Baseball Association. To his players, students, and friends he leaves a legacy of smiles, laughs, and a love for history.
He is survived by his wife Karen Lutz, sons George and Patrick, mother Virginia Lutz, brother Alexander Lutz Jr., sister-in-law Suzanne, nieces Kaitlyn and Megan, mother-in-law Patricia Colihan, and his German shepherd Axel.
He was preceded in death by his father, Alexander Lutz.
