Jay N. Wyndham, 45, a resident of Sedro-Woolley, passed away on Friday, January 24, 2014. He was born on November 20, 1968 in Seattle, WA the son of Nick and Judy Wyndham.
Jay graduated from Mt. Vernon High School in 1987 and from Skagit Valley College with an ATA in Rigging and Mechanics in 1999. He was married to Stefanie Paczinski in 1992.
Jay was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, providing many hours of service to anyone in need. He was a gentle giant, with a ready smile and a firm handshake. He had a wonderful sense of humor, always making people laugh with a joke, or a bad pun. He enjoyed woodworking, attending car shows, restoring his ’68 C-10, and spending quality time with his family.
Jay is survived by his wife, Stefanie of Sedro-Woolley; his three sons Matthew, Timothy, and Anthony all of Sedro-Woolley; and numerous other relatives.
Memorial services were held on Monday, January 27, at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints with interment at Union Cemetery in Sedro-Woolley. Arrangements are under the care of Lemley Chapel, Sedro-Woolley.
Jay was my neighbor and friend for many years. Jay, Stefanie and the boys were good neighbors and friends. Jay especially helped me many times and always had a good sense of humor and was a hard working man. He really was one of the best guys I have ever known and I will miss him a lot.
Jay and family have been faithful members of the public library for years but we had missed them for the past year, wondering why they hadn’t come in. We will really miss Jay and hope Stephanie and the boys will come back soon. Jay was a wonderful husband and father from what I observed and just a really nice guy. I am so sorry for your loss. There are no words. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
I Stephanie it’s Rhonda your old next door neighbor. Sorry for you loss, may God be with you in your time of need. May He pick you up and carry you through the darkest days and bring forth light again. I think of you often even though it’s been a few years since I’ve seen you. Once again sorry for your loss.

Jay, Stephanie and their family lived next to me and my dad for years. It was always a treat to visit and chat with Jay and the whole family. He will always be remembered by me as part of my fondest childhood memories. He will be missed.
To the entire Wyndham Crew;
Jay visited our office daily while working at Action Marine in La Conner, he came in to get some fresh licorice that we kept at the ready for customers. Jay was our biggest licorice fan! Our puppy Marina got so excited when he walked in the door! She loved him, but in fact, he shared his licorice with her, and now she is addicted thanks to Jay:-)
I know it isn’t Goodbye, but instead “See you later”. I thank God that we were able to enjoy his smile.
Our sincere best to you as you mourn the loss of the every day physical presence of one jolly, happy guy, a loving father and husband, wonderful family member and friend. Art, Marcie and Marina Kaplan
You have done well Jay. You will be missed! We pray for peace and guidance for Stephanie, Matthew, Timothy, and Anthony.
Stephanie and family – First, I love you, Steph, always have and always will. I also loved Jay – what a “gentle giant” as you referred to him. I will miss him always and I know for sure that you are looking forward to the day you can be reunited. In the meantime, stay as strong as you are and let me know if you need a break – Utah is nice and hot in the summer! We’re planning on coming up for two weeks this summer to WA and hope we can get together for a bit. Love, love, love to all! Karen
