Jay was educated in several rural schools around Hilger, MT before graduating in 1946 from Fergus High School in Lewistown, MT. While going to high school, he worked as a box boy for the Safeway store. After graduation, Jay successfully ranched and farmed with his dad and brother Robert “Bob” Benes for many years in the Christina, MT area. Jay was a man of the land. He loved his Hereford cattle, horses, and growing crops. He was a volunteer with Hilger Fire Department and a member of Lewistown Eagles Club. On October 5, 1991, Jay and Margaret A. Barber were married in Lewistown. After they sold the ranch and moved to their home on Upper Spring Creek, Jay started working for Jason Shobe Auction. He enjoyed helping at the auction sales and meeting new people. Jay's ability to grow plants resulted in yards full of flowers and gardens with cabbages, green beans and tomatoes he would share with friends and family. Jay was always ready to eat a piece of pie baked by Margaret. Jay cherished spending time with his grandchildren. He was a member of the Zion Lutheran Church in Lewistown. Jay is preceded in death by his parents; sister, Wilma Bustell; and brother-in-law, Carl Bustell.
