In 1996, he returned to the job he always loved among the ranks of the Worcester Fire Department stationed at Grove Street, Engine 3. He challenged his goals and lived his endeavors to the fullest. He ran road races for charities, reached out to those in need, and spent his spare time bringing joy to his sick younger cousin he loved so much.
Jay also pursued other lifelong ambitions. He traveled around the country on another love, his motorcycle. He also returned to his ancestral roots with a visit to Ireland with his family. All the while, he remained focused on his job. He had recently placed fifth on the lieutenants' exam and was awaiting promotion. His most recent quest as a fire fighter was to become a proud member of the Worcester Bagpipe Brigade.
A loving son, brother, friend and comrade to many, Jay will he remembered in life not for all he accomplished, but for who he was. He is survived by his parents, James F. and Joan Lyons.
**********************************
"He was a gentle, loving boy. He was a hero here, and he was a hero the day he was born."
— Mr. James F. Lyons, Jay's father
**********************************
Six heroes died that night — their last alarm. May they always be remembered.
