An 18-year-old graduate of Connetquot High School died Monday afternoon after his car slammed into a utility pole in Ronkonkoma - not far from where another crash killed a Connetquot student last July, police said.
Just before 1 p.m., Jayson Giles, 18, of Calvert Avenue, was driving north on Ocean Avenue in Ronkonkoma when he lost control of his red 2004 Dodge Neon, Suffolk police said.
Witnesses told police they saw the red Neon traveling quickly before it left the northbound lane, and crossed both the center turn lane and the oncoming southbound lane before striking the pole.
"Apparently it went slightly airborne, about five or six feet off the ground, and then hit the utility pole," said Sgt. Daniel Molloy of Suffolk County fifth squad.
The victim was pronounced dead at the scene by the Suffolk County medical examiner's office.
The accident occurred on the same road just a quarter-mile south of where a fatal one-car crash killed another 2008 Connetquot graduate, Stan Hartnett, 18, in July. He hit a tree after losing control of his car.
Connetquot Central School District officials confirmed Giles graduated in June.
Giles' family declined to speak with a reporter who knocked on their door Monday.
Friends and classmates remembered Giles as a warm and popular student who loved tinkering with his SRT4, a turbocharged version of the Dodge Neon.
"He loved working on cars, working with his hands," said family friend Elisa Troucchio, 23, of Ronkonkoma.
Troucchio said Giles was using his mechanical skills to pay his way through Suffolk Community College.
Troucchio recalled Giles as a high-energy presence who was popular with girls. "He always had girls calling him," she said. "He was cute but it was his personality."
Another classmate, Andrew Grogan, 17, of Ronkonkoma, said that in addition to his mechanical gifts, Giles was also a talented artist, and he loved to doodle during a car repair class they had together.
"He was always drawing, graffiti to be exact. He was actually really good at it," Grogan said.
"Remember Me" (song by Deanna Edwards)
Remember me whenever you see a sunrise,
Remember me whenever you see a star,
Remember me whenever you see a rainbow
Or woods in autumn colors from afar.
Remember me whenever you see the roses
Or seagulls sailing high in a sky of blue.
Remember me whenever you see waves
Shining in the sun.
And remember, I'll be remembering you!
Remember me whenever you see a teardrop,
Or meadows still wet with the morning dew.
Remember me whenever you feel love
Growing in your heart.
And remember, I'll be remembering you!

"Christmas in Heaven"
I see the countless Christmas trees
around the world below
with tiny lights like heaven's stars
reflecting on the snow.
The sight is so spectacular,
please wipe away that tear
for I am spending Christmas
with Jesus Christ this year.
I hear the many Christmas songs
that people hold so dear
but the sounds of music can't compare
with the Christmas choir up here.
I have no words to tell you
of the joy their voices bring
for it is beyond description
to hear the angels sing.
I know how much you miss me,
I see the pain inside your heart
for I am spending Christmas
with Jesus Christ this year.
I can't tell you of the splendor
or the peace here in this place
Can you just imagine Christmas
with our Savior face to face?
I'll ask him to lift your spirit
as I tell him of your love
so then pray for one another
as you lift your eyes above.
Please let your hearts be joyful
and let your spirit sing
for I am spending Christmas in heaven
and I'm walking with the King.

Rest in Peace Jayson.
God looked around his Garden and found an empty place.
He then looked down upon his earth and saw your loving face.
He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest.
His Garden must be beautiful, he always takes the best.
He saw your path was difficult, he closed you tired eyes,
He whispered to you "Peace be Thine" and gave you wings to fly.
When we saw you sleeping so calm and free of pain,
We would not wish you back to earth to suffer once again.
You've left us precious memories, your love will be our guide,
You live on through your family, you're always by our side.
It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you on the day God called you home...
You are so loved and missed Jay. Rest in Peace.
