JAY RUPERT Obituary
Jay Rupert, III, 68, passed away peacefully at home in Palm Bay, FL, July 30, 2014. Mr. Rupert was born in Ft. Meade, MD, and was raised in Wilmington, DL, and Kennett Square, PA. After spending a year sailing the Caribbean Islands, Jay moved to Vero Beach, FL in the early 1990's, and worked in several local restaurants. Before moving to Palm Bay, he set out on a year's tour of the US in his 30' Airstream with his companion pup, Yo. As he said: He completed his Bucket List before he knew what one was. Donations to The Big Brothers Big Sisters of Indian River County, or The Humane Society of Vero Beach, would be greatly appreciated.
