After graduating high school in 1960, he joined the United States Marines Corps, traveled, and saw the world. While stationed on the Shangri-La aircraft carrier with Squadron VMF 251, he was an airplane mechanic, working on F-8 Crusaders, the first jets to break the speed of sound. When stateside, he was at the Marine Corps Air Station in Beaufort, South Carolina.

In 1963 Dick met and married Faye Bickley, the love of his life. Dick earned a degree in computer programming from Richland Technical College and later a B.A. in Business Administration from Coker College. He and Faye moved to Hartsville in 1969 when he was employed by Sonoco Products Company. He retired as a manager of information technology after 30 years at SPC.

Dick loved golf, both playing and traveling with Faye to watch tournaments. He was a go-to man for sports trivia and loved his teams from Detroit. He and Faye enjoyed traveling to Florida for Detroit Tigers spring training. They also enjoyed cruises, long road trips, and their annual apple-picking trips in Hendersonville, NC.

Dick loved his family and, above all else, he loved the Lord. He was a faithful member of Our Shepherd Lutheran Church in Hartsville, where he served as financial secretary for 18 years. One of his favorite things was exploring the Word of God, reading his Bible daily.

Surviving to cherish his memory are his wife Faye Stinson, son Clint Stinson, daughter Caroline (Jeff) Privette, grandson Matthew Privette, brother Don (Diane) Stinson, in-laws Sandra Ouzts, Jake (Cathey) Bickley, numerous nieces and nephews.

Born October 19, 1976 in Kingsport, TN, he was the son of Arlene Payne and Dalton Bloomer and his wife Janet. Jay was a graduate of Dobyns Bennett High School in Kingsport and the University of Tennessee. He was a Regional Vice President for HMR Veterans Services, Inc.

In addition to his parents and step-mother, he is survived by his wife, Meg Bloomer; sons, Brooks and Miles, and daughter, Elle; sister, Claire Hemphill, her husband Brian, and their children, Lila and Leo of Nashville, TN; step-sister Katy Niehaus, her husband Kevin, and their children, Eliza Rose and Emmerson of Little Rock, AR; step-brother Andy Faulk, his wife Laura, and their son Milo of Tokyo, Japan; uncle, Eddie Payne, his wife Kathy, and their daughters, Monica and Alison; aunt, Kay Joiner; and grandmother, Ruby Bloomer.

In addition to his own family, Jay loved Meg’s family as his own. He is also survived by his mother and father in-law Sonny and Carol Kinney; his sister in-law, Libba Pena, her husband Kyle, and their children, Easton and Colton.

He was predeceased by his grandparents, Arlie and Blanche Payne and JB Bloomer.

“The true meaning of life is to plant trees under whose shade you do not expect to sit.” Jay loved this beautiful quote, and he dedicated his life to the principle. Always the first to volunteer to help others, he never hesitated to give you the shirt off his back, expecting nothing in return.

Jay’s charismatic and witty personality lifted all who were drawn into his circle. He never encountered a stranger – only friends he had not yet met – and touched so many lives with his kindness, compassion, friendship, and love.

A devoted husband, father, son, and brother, Jay drew strength from his family and from his faith. All of us were touched deeply by Jay, and our hearts ache to see him leave us so soon. But he is now healed and with his Heavenly Father.

We are so grateful for the care and compassion he received from his physicians and nurses at Emory University Hospital and the Winship Cancer Institute as well as Prisma Health Greenville Memorial Hospital and the Prisma Health Cancer Institute.

The funeral service will be held at 11:00am Saturday, October 19, 2019 at Central Presbyterian Church with Dr. Alex Campbell and Rev. Matthew Icard officiating. The family will receive friends immediately following the service. Interment will be private.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Cancer Association of Anderson, 215 E Calhoun St, Anderson, SC 29621 or The Leukemia And Lymphoma Society, 107 Westpark
