Still can't believe he's gone. My heart and preyers go out to the whole family and friends. What an honor it was meeting Jamey. May he rest in peace

Like many others, I have always considered Jamey to be one of my dearest friends. We spent many long hours running on the beaches in California, both lauging and crying about what our days had brought forward. We lost touch for a short period and reconnected about a year ago, it was like no time had past us by. Post that visit, we both committed to keeping in contact. Life passes us by too fast and we tend to forget about the things that mean so much to us. My dear friend, you will be missed. May you blessed by the love that has always surrounded you. Be at peace and know that you will will always be in my prayers and thoughts.

I met Jamey 10 years ago when he called me about housecleaning. Jamey was a great friend and always a pleasure to be around. Jamey loved his family! I am just heartbroken to hear of his passing. I feel very blessed to have known him.I will miss him dearly. May god bless his family.

Aloha Jamey.........I will forever be grateful to you for bringing Elizabeth and I together. You are the most gernerous and loving man! I feel such honor to have crossed paths with you! Peace be with you! Lots of aloha and love, Laura

Ram and I have enjoyed many a good time with Jamey when we visited our daughter Seema. Being next door to him gave us time to spend on a daily bases with good talkes on everything but always included dogs or cats. Our visits to Nashville will be saddly lacking without Jamey. God bless his family and friends with His mercy and grace.   Ram and Dixie Prasad

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family during this time and always.Jamey was always a nice person and fantastic co-worker.He will be sadly missed.I feel truly blessed to have known him.Heaven has a new ANGEL.

Dear Mr. & Mrs. Coleman:
I had the privilege of working with your son at two companies.  Though over 15 years ago, I still remember meeting your son for the first time on the production floor at Harris Corporation in Camarillo, CA (he seemed surprised that a Californian knew what the SEC was! . . . and of course we discussed college football in depth).  All the people and conversations I have had since then, most of which I have long forgotten, and yet I STILL remember that first conversation with your son - such was his charisma.  Now having a son of my own, I am convinced that I cannot begin to understand the true depth of your pain.  I am, however, certain that while there are those that may be given the gift of greater time, they too may NEVER provide others with the richness your son provided those who were so blessed to know him.  May the peace of God's Spirit provide you comfort in the days to come.

Jamey was my nephew and I loved him more than any words could ever express. He was also my friend. Numerous times I also told him he was a hero of mine. Even though I was two decades older than my nephew, I learned so much from him. We didn't usually have as much contact as I'd have preferred, but whenever we did connect (in person or by phone), it was such a pleasure and we both enjoyed it immensely. While his passing has left a huge void that can never be filled, he will forever be in my heart and mind. I loved him deeply and unconditionally. Jamey was such a good person and I will miss him greatly.

Donna, Mike, Jon, Don and Mrs. Elizabeth,
We just heard about Jamey and we are so sorry.  Our prayers are with you all at this very difficult time.  Love to all of you, Nancy and David

Donna and family, 
We are so sorry to hear of your loss.  Words cannot suffice during this time. Our hearts go out to you.

I am so stunned and saddened at the sudden death of such a special man.  I had the honor of calling Jamey my friend as we went through Goodpasture together.  Many of my high school memories have Jamey in them... he was my escort at graduation and the senior walk.  He was smart, funny, and a friend to everyone. He will be truly missed, and your family is in my prayers as you find God's peace and healing.  He was a true light!

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief.  May your memories bring you comfort.

I will never forget the character James possessed, his wit, humor and ability to light up a work meeting.  I enjoyed some great business trips to Seattle and Arizona with him and will never forget those times.  My sympathy goes out to his family and I'd like them to know he was a great person, he will be missed. God bless and R.I.P. my friend.

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child.  My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.

My heart is broken for you. Linda sends her love and sympathy. She will be moved today to Vanco in Goodlettsville. I don't know if I will be available to come but give Donna our sincere sympathy. I know you both loved him so much. We love all three of you.

I was deeply saddened to hear the news about Jamey.  We spent many great years working together at Harris, and especially had fun when our offices were next door to each other.  My prayers are with all of his family and friends.

I am shocked and saddened by the news of Jamey's passing.  I worked closely with Jamey during the last year and, he will be sorely missed.

James was not just a good person he was better than good, kinda like a younger Brother, but a friend. I was always pushed by his passion...to do whatever. He will be missed by everyone he came in touch with. God Bless James and I will always remember the things he taught me...he could always make me laugh in that weird approach to anything!   Love you James!!! Norm

So sorry for your loss...Prayers go out to you and all the family!!!! May memories remain in your heart forever! God Bless all of you!!! My Deepest Sympathy!                                                          Judy Cox Walmart#304

I knew Jamey when he worked with LoopExpert and Tollgrade. He was a great account manager, he knew how to take care of his clients, and we in turn, took him to Disneyland!!!  Good times, many laughs, and a dinner or two.  My sympathy in this time of sorrow.

I was privileged to be Jamey's sixth grade teacher at Goodpasture.  He was a delightful young man and a wonderful student.  I am deeply saddened to hear of his passing.  My sincere sympathy and love to his family.

My deepest condolences to Jamey's family and friends.  I met Jamey my first weekend at college.  He was instrumental in introducing me to my husband, for which I am eternally grateful.  Though we didn't see Jamey often, over the years Jamey always made me laugh and he brought great joy to those around him.  He will be missed by the numerous friends he has collected over they years.

Jamey and I worked together in San Diego and became fast friends and work out buds. His smile reflected his immense spirit that never failed to lift me along with it. My sympathy goes out to the whole family for peace and healing. I know Jamey is lighting up heaven with his infectious smile and beautiful spirit.

My prayers and thoughts go out to the family of this lovely man who will surely be missed.

My heart is heavy for you all! I haven't seen Jamey in several years, but have always cherished our youth together. I always thought of him as the brother I never had. When we were young Ms. Elizabeth and Granny Mc would put us all three in pumpkin seats and take us to visit the sick, shut ins, take food to people etc... I will always hold near and dear to my heart the memories I have of him. Jamey always had a smile that was contagious! With much love, Karen

Jon and Family, our hearts go out to you. We are so sorry to hear about Jameys passing and are praying for your family.

Jamey was a peer of mine at work and I recently started working with him.  I immediately liked him!  He was kind, understanding, trustworthy and patient.  His follow up and work ethic was one of the best I've seen.  I feel very fortunate to have met him.  May his family and friends find peace with dealing with such a trajic and sudden loss.

I just met Jamie recently in a business meeting, as he was presenting his product to me, so my interaction with him was a professional one. Still, I saw the dedication and eagerness to please the client, as well as a pleasant demeanor making the meeting very favorable. I loooked forward to potentially working with Jamie, and am very saddened to hear the news.
My sincere condolences go out to Jamie's family and friends.

To the Coleman family,
I am so, so sorry for this terrible news and Jamey's passing. It is with deepest sympathy for all of you and heartfelt sadness that he was taken so suddenly and too early. I had just started getting to know Jamey in the last couple of months of joining TraveLink to be apart of his team and grew quite fond of him very quickly by the thoughtfulness, compassion and friendliness he shared with me.  May you find peace during this difficult time.

Jamey was a student at Goodpasture.  He was quiet but when he did speak he had an audience who listened.  He was well liked and sociable.  I was one of his teachers.  Speaking on behalf of all those teachers who taught him and watched him graduate in '88, I can truly say that we are saddened and feel lessened by his death in the prime of his life.  I wished I had words of encouragment for his parents, but I need them myself.  We all lost something --we lost a worthwhile person who was good.

Mike, Donna and your entire family, we were so saddened to hear of Jamey's passing. We met 10 years ago when he was working for Tollgrade and we worked for PacBell. The wonderful times we had during our working together and the fun visit with Jamey in Nashville a couple of years ago. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you and may the wonderful memories help you through this sad time.
Sincerely,
Dennis & Dorian McBride

I graduated w/ Jamey, I am so sorry to hear this. My prayers for peace and healing are being lifted up. Erica Dennis

My deepest sympathy to Jamey's family. I worked with Jamey and never knew a person who could bring so much joy and cheer to one's life. He will be missed by the many people he affected during his short life.  May god bless you during these very difficult times.

Mrs Edmonds, you know what a wonderful friend Jamey has been to me since we were at Goodpasture. I'll always treasure your boy and his amazing humor, intelligence and gift of insight. My heart is broken for me but mostly for you. May we all find peace and healing. May we be inspired by the light that Jamey gave us every time we met. I will always carry my Jamey memories close to my heart. He is a part of me forever. Thank you for sharing him with us.

I am saddened at the sudden loss of a dear friend and co-sorker. Jamey I will miss your emails of "Thanks & Appreciation". You imprinted on my heart what it means to enjoy life each and every day that passes by.  You always knew how to lift a persons spirit when they were down. I will miss your smile and laughter. Praying for your family at this time. May you fly upon the wings of angels and touch the face of God.

I knew Jamey through mutual cousins in CT.  Meeting at wedding, we became friends and I was able to coordinate a visit with him while traveling to Nashville.  We had a great time that afternoon- it was almost like we knew each other for years.  My deepest condolences to the family.

Mike and Donna, I am so terribly shocked and saddened to learn of Jamey's passing...He was one of those very, very special young people that I had the pleasure to teach at Goodpasture....He epitomized everything good in young people....I remember what a fun-loving, polite, caring, and Christ-like presence he was...Erica thought so much of him and they practically grew up together...Please know how much Bonnie and I care and how much we ache for you and all of your family...May God give you peace that only He can....

For the last thirty years a proud mother has related to three of her many friends loving stories and comments of a precious son's life.  Through these stories, I learned about a wonderful young man and knew by his actions how much he loved his family and was loved by them. 
Sharing in your sorrow with love and friendship; praying that comfort and peace may come to you.

Goodnight, sweet Jamey. We hope your family will keep the memory of your humor, generous spirit and kindness with them as they get through the most difficult part of this time. Our hearts go out to them.

Donna, Mike, Jon - you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Jamey was an energetic and fun colleague.  I truly enjoyed not only working with Jamey in the office, but on the road.  Even though we have only worked together a short time, I will miss him greatly.  My prayers go out to his family and friends in this difficult time.

My memories with Jamey are the best and I have always felt truly blessed to have such a wonderful cousin and friend in my life.  My thoughts and prayers are with Donna, Mike, Jon, Angie, Cindy, Aunt Betty and Don during these difficult hours.  Life just will not be the same without him.  I will miss him with all my heart and look forward to the day when we can see each other again xo

We are sending our prayers for Jamey's family and everyone who knew Jamey.   Because if you knew him, even slightly, you knew he was a wonderful person with a big heart and time for everyone.  He was taken too soon and will be missed by so many.  We pray for peace and comfort.

Although I did not know Jamey personally, I felt as if I did know him thru years of stories and photos from his Uncle Don. I know that he was well liked by his friends and very loved by his family. I send all of you my deepest sympathies in this terribly difficult time of loss and grief.

I am so sad. We loved Jamey.....thoughts and prayers are with his family and other friends

Jamey was a great addition to our company.  As I  came to know him as a dedicated and humerous man he always gave his all and the best.    I will miss him as well of our team.

Sad day for all of us that called Jamey a friend and co worker. He was such a wonderful man and friend to me   My prayers to you and your family

What an unfortunate thing to happen and a great person to lose! Jamey was a very wonderful, happy, good person and co-worker and will  be missed! My prayers go to his family and loved ones.

What a pleasure to have had a chance to get to know Jamey. He will be missed terribly. My prayers for all his family and friends, during these hard days ahead.

Mr. and Mrs. Coleman, I've had the honor of knowing Jamey over the last 18 months through Travelink...and I just want to share that he had such a kind, sincere and generous spirit. He never failed to ask how my day was going, to check-in if he was traveling, or to stop by my desk to talk about the blessings and challenges of life! There are no words that will comfort, but please know that my life is richer today because your son's light shown in it for a season...

My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone who loved Jamey. He was truly a great person and a wonderful co-worker. I will miss him and our lunches together. My god bless Jamey and his family! Colleen Barthlow Travelink
