Jay McNamee passed away peacefully Saturday, February 2, 2019 surrounded by family and friends following a valiant battle with cancer. He was born on May 7, 1959 to John (predeceased) and Kay McNamee in New York City. He was the beloved husband of Marie and loving father to his two children Sean and Shannon.
