Jason Ramon Booker, better known as "Jay" was born on June 1, 1971, to Thomas Jefferson Booker and Kathleen (West) Booker in the city of Dallas, Texas. He was born again and baptized at the early age of seven.

He was gifted beyond measure in sports and music, mastering both by the age of nine. He was so accomplished that, at sixteen, he began playing the organ alongside his mother at the New Independent Missionary Baptist Church on East Illinois.

He was a product of both Dallas and Wilmer Hutchins Independent School District, and continued his education at Cedar Valley College.

He sustained a long and extensive music career in Dallas and abroad, playing for the country's top Gospel Artist, including but not limited to Tommye Young- West, Carolyn Traylor, and DFW Mass Choir. He was blessed to serve as Minister of Music at several churches across the metroplex, including but not limited to Allen Chapel Missionary, Ben Washington Baptist Church, and Bethlehem Baptist Church of Terrell, Texas.

Jay Booker was proceeded in death by both his parents, Thomas Jefferson and Kathleen (West) Booker.

Those left, with whom he has left his cherished memories: his only daughter, Laporche Wheatley of Dallas, grandchildren Zyriah, Cassidy, and Cameron, his brother, Pastor Michael Booker (Dionne), and a host of close relatives, family, and best friends.
