Jay had even posted it online with a caption saying something like God was showing off that morning. Mark admitted he wasnt sure if he simply hadnt checked his phone or missed it somehow.
Mark Briscoe said he was in complete denial that Jay Briscoe might die. It never even crossed his mind; he just thought it wasnt good, but maybe his brother had broken his legs or was paralyzed. It simply wasnt a situation where he believed Jay could actually be dying.
The first thing he asked was whether the girls were okay, and thats when he was told they were hurt but probably going to live. Thats when the reality started to hit, and he was told that they didnt think Jay was going to make it. He was shocked and couldnt process it.
