IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Jay G.
Compton
January 5, 1978 – September 4, 2022
Joseph "Jay" Compton, age 44, of Thomaston, passed away Sunday, September 4, in Waterbury Hospital after a brief illness.
Jay was born January 5, 1978, in Bridgeport. He was the son of Ann and Bill Compton of Southbury. Jay was Chief Product and Technology Officer for Deloitte's ConvergeHealth, and Managing Director for Deloitte Consulting. A graduate of Pomperaug High School and Worcester Polytechnic Institute, he blazed trails in the IT world and healthcare. He began his career at IBM working on large-scale projects and web hosting for large sporting events such as the Olympics. In 2012, he joined Aetna where he became CTO for technical acquisitions. Before joining Deloitte in 2019, he was the head of CVS Digital Platforms and cofounded a startup called Firecracker Health.
Jay was an ardent dog lover and always owned several. His most recent, Bodhi, passed suddenly from cancer the day after Jay was hospitalized, and no doubt met him at the Rainbow Bridge. He loved family, movies, golf with his dad, and anything by Bruce Springsteen.
Besides his parents Ann and Bill, Jay leaves behind his daughter, Emily, his sister Kimberly, and her husband, Herman, niece and nephew Lyra and Troy, and partner Angela Courtney.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at Sacred Heart Church, 910 Main Street South, Southbury, at 10 a.m. A calling hour is scheduled from 9 to 10 a.m. preceding the funeral in the Sacred Heart Chapel. Burial will follow in New North Cemetery, Woodbury. Memorial donations for Jay may be made to the National Canine Cancer Foundation, www.wearethecure.org in his name.
