Jay was well respected in the dairy industry and served as a judge for many years at the Polk County Fair.
Jay would have been married to Carol A (King) Beck for 45 years in August. He is survived by daughters Lisa Yenzer, Julie Beck, and Kim (Mark) Rutkowski. Grandchildren Andrew and Allison Yenzer. Siblings Joan (the late Mark) Fellom, Tim (Dyanne) Beck, Mary (Sandy) Steinbach, Kristy (Kevin) Kirkus, and Ken (Val) Beck. Many nieces, nephews, and friends he loved as family.
