Jay Lafayette Hawks
A devoted Husband, Brother, Father, Grandfather, Great-Grandfather and friend, passed away on November 18, 2012 to travel to his heavenly home. Jay was born on July 25, 1923 in Storrs, Carbon County, Utah, son of Lafayette Hawks and Inez Lulu King and was a brother to Judge (Belva Hawks) and sister to Nola (Devere Baker).
