This is a list of John Jay graduates, students, faculty and staff who have passed away. If you see anything that needs to be corrected please reach out to me at kevino3670@yahoo.com or on Facebook messenger. I graduated in 1988 from John Jay. Over the years I saw many posts of classmates that passed away and began the Facebook group. Because there were so many posts I began this website to consolidate them all in one place. This memorial is for those we lost.
