Michael Jay Jemeyson
August 29, 1975 ~ August 27, 2010
Michael Jay Jemeyson, age 34, passed away on August 27th, 2010 due to injuries from a motorcycle accident. Michael was born on August 29th, 1975 in San Antonio, Texas and he had three wonderful sons that he was very proud of: Colton, William and Nicholas. Michael loved trucks, motorcycles and trips to Big Shell for camping and fishing. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Mary and David Jemeyson. He leaves behind his parents, Linda and Glenn Jemeyson, a sister, Dawn and a brother, Glenn Jemeyson. Cousins and nieces, Alyssa Powell, Morghan, Reagan, Cevin, Keeley and Cheyenne along with nephews, Ryan and Henry and more than a few broken hearted girls also survive. Michael's free spiritedness and love of life will never be forgotten. A private memorial service is planned. We are going to miss you Mike; you will be in our hearts and everyday thoughts forever. We are especially grateful to our neighbors, Frances Garza and Connie Martinez for their unconditional love and help during our tragic loss.

Mr. and Mrs. Jemeyson, We are so sorry for your loss. Michael was at our shop several times and he always made me laugh. May he rest in peace. God Bless You All During This Time And Always
I am posting this email James sent to me in Memory of Mike First, I am going to start this off by explaining that I am not a person of words so you will have to bear with me. My memory of Michael Jemeyson: I have had a chance to sit and think about this for a while since he was put in the hospital, and although I know he had some rough times I cannot say that I remember any of them as the foremost thought when his name is mentioned. The Michael J I remember was someone that could do what he actually put his mind to, and laugh about the mistakes later. I do not think I ever witnessed him upset, in fact, the only times I do remember of him were joking around, laughing, and all the cousins picking on each other in some form or fashion. He was someone that impressed me early on by being able or being selected to take on Japanese which by all means is not an easy language to learn in written form or spoken. Since my interactions with him later in life were sparse due to my own mistakes, I cannot sit and recall anything that was not positive about him. When Christina and I split up the first time, he took from his own apartment and gave me some furniture as well as checked on me on several occasions just to say hello. He always had a quick comeback to something said, and a light sided way of viewing things and the ability to share that view. He like the rest of the cousins have a quality that I personally believe was passed down from Nanny and Papa to our parents and then to all of us and hopefully it continues the path downstream. That quality of compassion, being protective, and looking past the bad to see the good in those around us, and in our family. As I went to the hospital and hung around, I had hoped that he would just wake up and fire us that light hearted finger motion that has gotten probably all of the cousins in trouble at one time or another. It was difficult to see one of our own struggle so hard to heal, but unknowingly he was healing more than just himself. This in my opinion was his nature, which is why I remember his brothers and sisters being so protective of him and we could never forget Glenn and Linda in that mix. I can only hope that it is that character, charm, and his nature that will allow his sisters, and brothers, and parents to heal and only remember the good times when it comes to him. I know that many of the cousins were very close to him, and it is my prayer that each of them will remember the good, forgive the bad and move forward in a positive path. I really do not know how to express the rest of my thoughts so I will just leave it at this. I love each and every one of my family, from my immediate to my extended and we have lost so much in such a short amount of time and I hope that we can mend the places that are broken with all of us again so we do not sit divided for so long.
Glen, Linda and family, We are so sorry about Michael. We remember the “little boy” Michael very fondly and he was a precious and wonderful part of the Jemeyson family. This is one of those circumstances for which we cannot find answers, and most difficult to suffer. Our hearts are united with yours in the grief you are feeling. Love and prayers, Claude and Mildred

Glenn and Linda-I am so sorry for your loss. I cannot imagine anything worse than losing a son or daughter. Mike was such a good- natured guy and will be missed by many. I am still finding it difficult to believe I will never see his smile again. Goodbye to our Michael Jay, another soul set free!
Grandma&Grandpa- I am Sorry For Your loss. I’m Really going to Miss Uncle Mike. He was really Fun to Hang out with. He’s Riding With the Angels, and i’m sure, Making them Laugh. I’ll Miss you Uncle Mike. -Cevin Jemeyson
Dear Jemeyson Family I’m so sorry for your loss. Mike was a very dear friend to me. I am going to miss him very much. Whenever I had a bad day or was down Mike was always there to make me laugh and make things better. I will think of him every day. I miss you Mike.
Dear Jemeyson Family, I am so very sorry for your loss. Mike was a great person. Always could make you smile and laugh. He would stop what he was doing to help another in need. Good friends are hard to find, and he will be so missed. Til we meet again, mike…..

Dear Glen,Linda,and Family. The one thing that I keep thinking is that Michael is now being well taken care of. Nanny and PawPaw have him in their care now. I take heart knowing that the people that gave us so much love as kids are with him now. I am sorry that you had to go through such a tragedy. Much love, Susan
Uncle Mike, We had so many good times at the coast- on the beach, On a horse or even in the hotel. Nothing could bring us away from each other. The last things i did to you was a hug and i said; “i Love you uncle mike, i’ll miss you.”, And dont get me wrong, you were strong, handsome And loved your hair. You will be watching us, though. You will awlays be proud to be a Jemeyon. I love you uncle mike. -Keely Jemeyson
I have so many fond memories of my cousin Mike. So many I dont know where to start, so I will just share a few. From the time we went to Big Shell, only to burn up the transmission in his truck (his dad came all the way down from San Antonio to haul us back); to the countless times fishing till sunrise while staying in Port A with Nanny and Papa; to the time I stayed all weekend at his dads house while he helped me fix my banged up go-kart (by taking me to Purvis Bearing to get a pulley that had nothing to do with a go-kart engine) but rest assure Mike just knew how to make it work-and it did. There was the time when Mike gave my mom my first real dirt bike to give me for Christmas. The common denominator in all of these stories is Mike; he was always willing to help other and always willing to help others help themselves to solve their own problems. Mike, whether I liked it or not, was always trying to steer me in the right direction – it was something he just did naturally. A lot of those seeds he planted in me are so much clearer now and I cant thank him enough for doing that. I want everyone to know how much I love Mike and how much I respect him as a man and a cousin. I love you Michael J.
Search Memorials (Last Name) Advanced Home > All Memorials > Michael Jay Jemeyson > Guestbook Michael Jay….”Jay” after your PawPaw’s long lost brother…how cool as he too was so cool! Michael I remember your adorable cute face coming over to my house and upon entering the house you would always talk with the biggest smile on your face and it was “yes ma’am and no ma’am….so polite!” You did your initial talking either to Uncle Harold or I but after a few minutes seemed antsy to get out that door running out to play.You had to get in the backyard to see what the other big guys were up to because you were not going to be left behind.I am sure you flew right by Dawn…you boys just ignored her at that age(just as your dad did w/me) so she stayed in w/me. You were a bundle of energy. Your hair was a dirty blonde and tassled all about and you usually were w/out shirt many times so you carried a good tan almost every time I saw you. I am sure you started out clean but you were and as I have heard continued being that little grease monkey. I was reminiscing and can vividly picture your face with such intensity working on a bicycle that we said did not work or some other wheels sitting around….just like your cuz Terry stated. It was like “oh no IT WILL work…just wait and see” and lo and behold b4 you knew it you had it going. You definitely were a bright little boy and carried on using those skills that you mimicked from your dad. Just today your Aunt Linda was reminding me of you kids in your blue jean overalls-so cute-I even have a pic of your big brother in them at my house:)! You both had that adventurous Tom Sawyer nature about you. Aunt Elinor(“Babe”) reminded me of you and the other cuz’s leading her off of the long pier after she put Avon shampoo on her hair rather than the Avon Skin So Soft to keep the mosquitoes away,lol! Yes those were just one of many good memories shared at the beach where you and most of your cousins so enjoyed many of their summers with your family, alongside Nanny & Paw-Paw . Beachbumming and fishing was definitely in the Jemeyson blood and you carried that Jemeyson characteristic very well. Michael Jay….you truly made your mark on earth and you will continued to be remembered in the hearts and minds of all of your loved ones. Cant say that you will ever be gone, just like your Nanny & PawPaw still being talked about all of the time you too will forever be kept alive. Uncle Harold said you worked w/him b4. Never knew that! We love you our dear nephew and Rest peacefully Michael Jay “Jemeyson” as you become one w/nature! Uncle Harold & Aunt Carolyn Harold & Carolyn Ratliff SA, TX Sep 1, 2010

My deepest sympathy for the family. May the promises in the Holy Scriptures brings comfort to you. The Bible promises one day soon, God will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore -Revelation chapter 21 verses 3,4. We yearn for the day to see our dear loved ones again. Jesus promises, the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out – John chapter 5 verses 28, 29.
Dawn , I’m so sorry about the loss of your brother . May god bless you and your family during this difficult .
A friend that will be missed by many.
Mike, Didn’t know you as well as I would have liked to, the few times I was around you, you are and always will be a person I will not ever forget.
It is so hard to believe that I will never see your smiling face again! You were a true friend to me. You were there for me when nobody else was, and for that I am truly greatful. And my boys really looked up to you and will also miss you. You are one of a kind and I know for as long as I live there will never be another like you. Thanks for all you did for me, and for giving me the thrill of my life when we hung out. There was never a dull moment. You will be missed…see u on the other side. Love Ya, Stacie

Mike was a good guy. While I knew him, I saw him do a lot of kind things for absolute strangers. If he saw anyone stranded on the road, he would stop and help even when it meant he would have to wade into the middle of a rain flooded street to get to their car. His pants were constantly trying to fall down while he did it too. :) Even on the memorable occasion he stopped to change a tire on a car…a car that just happened to be full of older ladies decked out in their Sunday best while they were stranded in their church parking lot. After their initial scandalized expressions and after he started talking they didn’t seem to mind. He had that effect on people. He was spontaneously funny. I remember him coming home half-delirious from a fourteen-hour shift at the moving company, holding me down and tickling me while singing an impromptu rap-themed booger song. He couldn’t tell a joke though, especially under presser, without starting over at least half a dozen times. It was quirky and cute, especially when he’d get embarrassed from his friends teasing him during his fourth restart. I don’t know if he ever got over that. The best parts of him are still seen in the boys. He’s in Cole’s ability to pick at his brothers one minute then fiercely defend them from anyone and anything in the next. He’s in Will’s smile and willingness to go out of his way to help anyone around him and in Niko’s ‘bruiser’ attitude and his absolute inability to retell a joke he’s heard and have it still be funny. He’s very much missed and he won’t be forgotten.
Dearest Ones, Mike was my hero. He was the most beautiful, most outrageous person I’ll ever know. I have always missed him and will always be thankful for having known him. My deep condolences to the Jemeyson’s. I love you Mike. Yours always, Brenda
If he was anything like his son will (my bf ) he must’ve been a really great guy I hope he left behind happy memories with everyone and If only will nick and coltons baby sister gellie got to see him I’m sure he would’ve loved her . My condolences go out to all affected I say this late because I only just met his wonderful son this year.
Still hurts beyond pain every day…I love you Mike. I really miss you little brother. Almost your birthday again. Miss you.
I wish I could have known him better. The best father I’ve ever had. I can’t read through these messages without breaking into tears. I love you Michael. I always have.
Wish you were here my brother.
The pain is forever.
