Jay was born in Orange, TX, on January 1, 1947, to James & Delma Westmoreland. He was adored by his friends and family as the cool guy who always had a smile and a good story to tell. He loved music, making new friends and visiting with old ones, especially his best friend Mr. Jim Boustead. He was passionate about fast cars and classic motorcycles, playing pool, wood carving, photography, and giving his youngest grandchild Jayce too much candy then sending him home for his parents to deal with.
Jay is survived by his brother Jim Westmoreland, sons and daughters-in-law, Barry and Marion Westmoreland, Benny and Melodye Westmoreland, Jason and Melanie Westmoreland; grandchildren Darrin, Dammon, Brooke, Brianna and Jayce Westmoreland; and great grandson Jameson Westmoreland.
