Photos posted on his Facebook page show that late Jerry was a member

of the Redeemed Christian Church of God.

According to Jackson, after playing the guitar like never before, Jerry

laid down at the altar for the worship session. After the session,

everyone stood up except the deceased. They lifted him only

to find out that he was dead.

Jackson wrote:

“He wasn’t sick. His mum said he has gone to be with the lord that

God has called him, that he died on the altar while worshipping God,

that the way he played yesterday (The Bass Guitar) he has never played

like that before that he Knelt down worshipping and later lay down

till after the worship everyone was up but he was still there before

they came to raise him up and found out he’s gone 2 rest with the Lord.

RIP bro Jay Ray Maya aka E-Major. 4ever in my mind.”

Another friend, Beckley Marokuty Miles, however, said that the

young man ‘slumped’ and died in church. He described late Jerry as

an upright Christian, who lived a life worthy of emulation.

“He slumped and died in church. Jerry was such an upright Christian who

lived a life worthy of emulation. I want to quickly remind us of the

scripture that says…we should not mourn like the people of the world

when a believer dies. Jerry has gone to be with the Lord,” he said.
