Jay Edward Endsley, age 40, of Newberry, passed away on Saturday, July 19, 2026. Born December 15, 1985, in Newberry, Jay was the son of Eric and Janice (Whitman) Endsley.

Jay attended school in Newberry and graduated from Newberry High School. He had a deep love for music and enjoyed playing COD, cornhole, and cards. Some of his happiest moments were spent with family or sitting by a fire with a beer in hand. Over the years, Jay worked at 2D Metals, Banks Hardwood, and Newberry Wood. Easygoing and generous, Jay was the kind of person who would give you the shirt off his back. He always had a comment or a joke ready—something to make you smile even on the hardest days.

Jay was a devoted son, brother, father, uncle, and a friend to many.

He is survived by his parents, Eric and Janice Endsley of Newberry; his daughter, Emily Endsley of Newberry; siblings Terry (Melissa), Billiejo, and Jill (Jamie), all of Newberry; and several nieces, nephews, aunts, and uncles.

Jay was preceded in death by his grandparents, Rex and Ivis Endsley and Raleigh and Dorothy Whitman, along with several aunts and uncles.

A gathering of family and friends to celebrate Jay’s life will be held at a later date.

Memorial contributions may be directed to his daughter, Emily, in his honor.
