Jonathan Glynn, 17,
(known as Jay in racing circles.) was thrown from his blue Citroen Saxo when it plunged down an
embankment near York at 4.50pm on Saturday 23rd September 2006.
His girlfriend of 18 months, Robyn Wishart, 15, was airlifted to hospital and is said to be stable
but critical. Her family, from Maltby Court, Colton, were today keeping vigil at the James Cook
University Hospital in Middlesbrough.
Jonathan and Robyn had been travelling on the A64, near the junction with the A19 Fulford
interchange, after a day out at Flamingo Land.
Jonathan, of Templegate Road, Colton, was pronounced dead at the scene. No other vehicles were
involved in the accident.
Jonathan is an apprentice mechanic and had scooped a string of awards and trophies. At the start of
this year, he was given a new bike as his 17th birthday present and aimed for the top in the 2006
Metzeler Racetec National Superstock Championship Cup.

Hello my darling, you know you're always in our thougthts, every minute, every day.
It was the inquest on your accident today. They said it was accidental death due fatigue. They are
sure that you were asleep my little man and you didn't know anything about it. You'd come in late in
the early hours of the morning and only had a few hours sleep. If only you had not had to get up
early to go out - you were too tired to drive.
There was nothing wrong with your car, it was in good condition, you were driving sensibly, you
weren't going very fast - about 54mph on a 70mph road. You had had a late night, little sleep, a fun
and full day at the park and then a long drive back. You'd just fallen asleep. I hope you were still
asleep when the accident happened because then you're last thoughts would have been about you're
happy day out and not of those last few minutes. It wasn't your fault babe, just a tragic accident.
We love you and we're missing you so much Jay, stay close and let me know you're OK and having fun
with Chris, Ashley, Jonathan, Carl and all your other new friends. Hope you're showing them how to
mix those basslines.

Race In Paradise Jay
Jay, you are our super star and now you’re shining bright in the sky for everyone to see.
I can still see that grin on your face when we first went to race at Snetterton and no-one knew you when we got there. But they sure knew you when we left. What an impression you made on everyone - You walked away with six trophies that weekend and went mad with me for jumping with joy in public. You never did like the attention or so you said (LOL). But I was so proud of you.
We saw that grin again only a few weeks ago when you came home carrying your latest trophy and said ‘I've Won’, we couldn't believe it but you had, you'd won your first gumball rally. As the guys said you had the slowest and smallest car and lost half of it along the route and it was unbelievable but you had. But that’s just you, such an unbelievable talent and another trophy for your collection. I don’t why we said we couldn’t believe it because I know anything you choose to do, you always win. You’re so special, my little man.
We’re gonna miss you so much but you enjoy those skies my baby – show them how to race with those clouds. Say hello to Chris & Ashley and don’t win too many times.
So many happy memories for so many people. You’ve touched so many hearts and I know they will all truly miss you. They’ve all been looking out for us and Robyn, so you’ve no need to worry, we’ll look after her.
We love you for always and you will stay in our hearts forever. Remember my darling, if you feel like popping in once in a while, we're always here for you.
I’ve sent Robyn the biggest birthday kiss from you but I’m sure you’ve taken your own to her.
Race In Paradise my boy – we’re so proud of you.
Dont forget - Windows down, Basslines up loud ... True Jay Style x x x
All our love
Mum & Dad
xx
p.s. Thank you to everyone for all of your kind words & condolences.
Had known you a lot of years, mainly before high school where we pretty much went different ways, but I will always remember you from back then, as i'm sure all of us from that class at Temple Newsam Primary, leaving in 2000.
Rest In Peace
our thoughts are with you
to john and carol,
we are so sorry to hear about the loss of jay, the news was devastating. as parents to a little boy, you have our deepest sympathy. we watched jay, particularly this year, in his fantastic racing career with pensieve expectation of amazing things.his untimely death has robbed loving parents of a beautiful, talented, intelligent person and taken a future champion before his time.
with every condolence and lots of love
dennis, kirsty and seth
hey m8 - i know we only met this year but im going to miss you for many years to come.
you have given me so many memories over the last few months and i never got the chance to say sorry for getting you lost (twice), when we went cruising round the city centre on a night but i know you'll forgive me.
Everywhere i have looked in the last few days i have seen a blue saxo and thought (hoped) it had just been a nighmare and you was fine :( but sadly.....:(
keep racin up there m8 n if anyone with a rover wants a race, tell em you only race orange ones!!
R.I.P mate!
