Jay Michael Banchor was born in Denver, Colorado on August 4, 1950 along with his fraternal twin brother, Jed. Jay left this world to be with our Lord on January 3, 2023. He was preceded in death by his parents, Benton Bailey and Theresa (nee Traughber) Banchor.
He is survived by his loving wife of 41 years, Peggy (nee Buchholtz), brother Jed (Susi), sister Elaine (Ernie), and brother Todd (Deb), along with numerous nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews.
Jay spent his life as a Master Automotive Mechanic and loved the challenge of figuring out each vehicle’s mystery and fixing it’s broken parts. He also loved fishing and camping, tinkering with electronics, listening to Golden Oldies, and singing with his church choir. His playful and teasing personality always kept everyone engaged and laughing.
He - and his silliness - will be greatly missed and always loved.
A Celebration of Life will be held at 2:00 pm on Tuesday, January 10, 2023 at Summit Baptist Church located at 401 2nd Ave in Wiggins CO 80654.
Refreshments will follow in the Fellowship Hall located in the lower level of the church.
