John Jay Fox

Jay — or Buck, to the people who knew him best — was a father, brother, son, uncle, nephew, Papa to 15 grandbabies and a real friend to many. He was the kind of person people remembered, laughed with and counted on, and he carried himself in a way people respected. His stories, jokes and the memories he gave us won’t be forgotten.

Laura was a champion for Native media, and Native youth media in particular. Months before her death, she visited the ashes of Migizi, the nonprofit she built so Native youth could empower themselves through media. It had been destroyed in the aftermath of the murder of George Floyd. "We'll rebuild." And they did. Thanks for inspiring us to keep going.
