The late Jason Mayer, affectionately known as "Jay," hailed from Alexandria Bay, New York. His sudden and unexpected passing has left his family and the local community in deep mourning. Shay Cuccarese, his stepdaughter, expressed the shock and sadness felt by everyone who knew him. Jason was a beloved husband to Shay’s mother and the sole breadwinner of the family. His death has not only left an emotional void but also a significant financial burden for his family.
In an effort to cover the funeral expenses and honor Jason’s memory, Arison Cain Londraville has organized a GoFundMe campaign titled "Help Us Honor the ‘Invincible’ Jason Mayer." The campaign has raised $405 of its $11,000 goal, with donations coming from Jesse Knapp, David Bova, Shannon Foy, Stacy Sunley, and Gillian Coyle.
Jason was a local legend in Alexandria Bay, known for his heroics and selfless nature. He was called "Hound Dog" or "Moondog" by some, but most simply knew him as "Jay." His stories of bravery include stopping a fire in a burning apartment and rescuing a man from freezing to death. Despite his incredible acts, Jason was known to refuse help from others, reinforcing his image as invincible. He once survived thousands of bee stings and claimed he could not be electrocuted. His unexpected death has struck his family and friends with the force of a lightning bolt.
The community has been supportive, with many expressing their condolences on Facebook. Comments from friends and family reflect the profound loss felt by those who knew Jason. Laurel Ilacqua Scott, Stacey Martin Brehm, Lisa Quinlan, Sandy Ribblett Nimmo, and others have shared their sympathies, offering support and comfort to the grieving family.
Jason Mayer’s life was marked by hard work, selflessness, and dedication to his loved ones and his community. Though not wealthy in material terms, he lived a rich and fulfilling life. The fundraiser aims to give Jason the warrior’s send-off he deserves, honoring the life of a man who gave so much to others.
