I didn't know Jaylen, but I have seen so many cars with his name and RIP on it, so that prompted me to look him up on the internet. I'm so sorry for your loss. I pray you will cherish your memories of him and of your time together. This is a reminder to all of us how fleeting our time here on Earth is and not to waste it being angry and bitter with each other. Hug your loved ones. TODAY. May his soul and all the souls of the faithfully departed rest in peace.

Jaylen and I only talked every now and then and unfortunatly I didnt know him too well.But Jaylen was a wonderful guy that had a smile that could light up a room. If you told a joke he would always laugh, even if it wasnt funny; he'd laugh just so you didnt feel dumb. He was a good person and a wonderful guy to know. You and yours are in my thoughts and prayers....

James Pittman

I only had a short time to get to know Jaylen when he moved to Hale Center last year, but his spirit for live filled the room. I am going to miss him and his smile. One of the best memories I will keep is our love for Duke basketball. During the season we talked Duke nearly everyday. My prayers go to all the family and friends during this difficult time.

I cannot believe I and Mikaela were the very last people who ever spoke or saw Jaylen Vincent Roberts before his tragic passing. I never suspected he would go so young. He had a life ahead of him, but God decided it was his time. Jaylen, you were so sweet and funny. I could never stop laughing when you'd be funny or make fun of me. I'll never forget you. Just knowing how much you meant to your family and me, kills me even more knowing we can't see your smiling face again. I <3 you and everyone in your family. I'm deeply, tragically, sorry for Jaylen's death. You will be remembered forever by all of us. I'm crying so much. See you at the funeral, you all get my big hugs:) -Morgan McQueen<3 RIP JAYLEN VINCENT ROBERTS

You would be amazed to see how us (the senior class) has bonded and got along through this rough time. Im gonna miss not being able to see you play ball. Love You & Miss You Guardian Angel <3

Jaylen,
I love you and miss you so much. I'm going to miss getting calls from you, and texts every day, and getting big hugs from you. You always brought a smile to my face even when I wanted to cry. You are the true meaning of a bestfriend. I came to you for everything, and you always came to me. I'll be missing you every day, but I know I'll have you as my guardian angel. I love you! Smile big up there for us
Love,

Forever Could we ever forget your sparkling eyes. or the way you brightened each day, or your smile which is etched in our memories, so your never far away.
Could we ever forget those priceless moments?
The answer, of course, is never.
For you were part of our lives for a brief time, But you'll be part of our hearts forever.

So completely you were here among us, And so quickly you were gone.
High on Angels' wings you rise.
Onward, upward to Heavenly skies.
Where are the words, we long to say.
The words: they do not come.
To express our love and ease our pain,
So that we may begin to heal and look for joy again.

Our family chain is broken,
and life is not the same.
But as God calls us one by one,
our chain will link again..
You are sadly missed, but never forgotten.
Miss You Bubba

Jaylen I'll always miss that big goofy smile! I'll miss the times we would play fight in the hallways after school. I still don't believe you're gone, now during basketball season I'll always miss you especially when the games start and I know you should be on the court balling. You've touched so any peoples hearts. You should see how many of us have gathered and gotten close again because of you. I love you dearly and continue to keep looking down on us and shinning that beautiful smile down. We'll do it big for you at graduation. (:

To my second family, know that my prayers go out to you. Jaylen meant so much to so many, and he will never be forgotten, not even for a minute. I remember growing up with him, being so close, he was more than a family friend, he was my brother. I remember our trip to Disney, when he sang every word to "Hotdog" from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. I remember him and those socks, that had to tell him which foot to put them on. That laugh, when he laughed at me for putting him on mute, every thirty seconds, just those phone calls. I remember when he tripped me running to get the Santa Hat back from him. I remember when mom gave us a $10 spending limit, and he bought me a $20 Pooh Bear. I remember so much, and I won't ever let those memories fade. I miss him dearly, as I know we all do. But like everyone has told me.. Jaylen is in a better place, he is smiling down on us. He is our sun, our stars, our wind, he is all around. He is happy as ever. This isn't goodbye, it's a "see you later" . Remember you always have those memories, you always have us. I love yah'll with all my heart.

I saw Jaylen as a big brother. I would go to him and he would come to me if i need a hug or just some one to talk to, he would do the same. I knew Jaylen from head to toe. He was one of our class clowns. He had the pretties smile ever. Jaylen would always talk about his girlfriend(Arianna). "She is the finest girl ever" Is what he told me. He was always helping someone in need, he didn't care if he had different problems of his own. Jay-baby class and hanging out won't be the same anymore. You were loved and you will be missed by so many people. Your story has touched me hurt so much Jaylen! Well your in the hand of the Lord. Just stand strong up there and watch of you close friends and family cause we all love you very watch,and it hurts not having you here by our sides. I love you big brother.
Always Love You 'Little Sister"

September 8, 2011

Though his life was very short, I feel very blessed and honored to be his big sister. I love my goofy bro bro with all of my heart. I'm here for you mom, dad, family and his friends. We appreciate all the kind words. Keep letting him know he was and still is loved, is and will always be missed.


Love big lil kris.
