Jay

Jeremiah Antonio "Jay" Valle, left the earth far too early at the age of 17 on January 9, 2024, in Bridgeport, CT. Jay impacted the lives of everyone he met, and he continued his impact even in death, with the gift of organ donation.

Jeremiah was born on July 18, 2006 to parents Nancy Velazquez and Juan Valle in Bridgeport, CT. He was molded into an amazing person by the many close family and friends, but no greater love and influence than his mother Nancy and her husband, Eko Aponte, his father Juan and his wife Ivelys Abrams and his siblings, Carlos, Sway, Melyna, Malaysha, and Mekayla.

Jay was intelligent, honest, kind and had pride in being stylish and looking good. His bright personality shone through with his playful silliness and his clever, sarcastic wit, making every moment with him memorable. Jay's love of music and family was at the core of who he was.

A resident of Stratford, CT, Jay's passions didn’t stop at his love of family and music. A student at Emmet O’Brien Technical High School in Ansonia, he pursued Auto Mechanics, and his love of cars shone through, earning him numerous certifications in the field. His passion for cars was more than a hobby—it was a calling. Jay’s determination and work ethic continued, expanding into working at ShopRite in Shelton, CT.

He was preceded in passing by his grandfathers, Juan Valle Sr. and Richard Tuliano. His legacy of love and the joy of life he shared continue through his surviving grandmothers, Lucy Colon and Nancy Ortiz, as well as a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, and closest friends.
