Obituary: Jay M. Sirois, 37; Fairfield Prep Graduate

Jay Michael Sirois, 37, was suddenly and inexplicably taken from us on April 17, 2018 doing what he loved best - playing ball and making those around him feel happy, special and loved. He was born in Hartford to Veronica Lorraine Falana and the late James Thomas Sirois. Jay had a happy childhood full of loving family and friends growing up in Westport.

He graduated with honors from Fairfield Preparatory High School in 1999, and proudly graduated from Georgetown University in 2003 with a BA in Literature. During his time at Georgetown, he cultivated innumerable lifelong friendships and an undying love for the Hoyas, rivaled only by his love for the Chicago Cubs. After college, he fulfilled his dream of living in Chicago from 2010 – 2015. His infectious smile, spirit, and soul were woven into the fabric of his beloved city. Jay had a dedication to sports and the people in his life that was truly without equal. Despite living a block from Wrigley Field, the Cubs didn’t win the World Series until 2016, a year after Jay and Lindsey moved to LA.

In 2015, Jay and Lindsey moved to Los Angeles to open AIR® - Aerial Fitness LA in California. In addition, Jay was also a partner in JS TEARNE, Inc., in Norwalk, serving as Director of Finance and Operating officer alongside his partner Chris Tearne, President. Jay was most recently a Senior Project Manager at Cheetah Digital Solutions Worldwide.

As he did every place he lived, he was integral to so many great relationships and beloved by all. Jay continued his education receiving a Masters in Accountancy, as well as a Project Management Certification at UCLA.

Jay is survived by his mother, Ronnie Falana and step father Steven Milo. Jay is also survived by the love of his life and fiancée, Lindsey Duggan as well as by Lindsey’s parents, Rob & Lisa Duggan, his brother, Alex Sirois, goddaughter Addison Marino, godson Miles Mintalucci, their dog Benny, and many loving and cherished friends and family. He was predeceased by his father James, stepmom Elaine, grandparents Constance Bonaquisto & Franklin Falana, and Arlene & Henry Sirois.

A Celebration of Life Gathering will be held Monday, April 30, 2018 from 4:00 – 7:00 p.m. at Shaughnessey Banks Funeral Home, 50 Reef Rd. in Fairfield Center.
