miss ya jimbo. you were an amazing martial artist. And i thought about your for years.

My Dear Friend. What a great time we had growing up together in North Miami attending North Miami Jr High School all the way through North Miami Sr. You were greatly loved by your Grand parents and sister Kathy. Too many fun times to list here. Nothing in this life can justify the tragedy you experienced. My hope is that in your next life we can pick up where we left off. Save a place for me at the table. Love your friend. Frank Castaneda

RIP to my old sparring partner, one time opponent, and above all my friend

My Condolences to the family, I had the wonderful opportunity to meet Jimmy in the home(miami beach). I am so happy that I had time to spend with him...getting to know his grandmother & mom. Praying with Jimmy and bringing him friends to visit.I have not seen in him in a while, because I moved to NY, He has ALWAYS been in my heart & in my Prayers.My husband George & I did have great memories with Jimmy. We were very happy that he was able to go home to his mom's house, where we last saw him.I know that Jimmy went home to be with Jesus, where he has a NEW, GLORIFIED BODY! Thank You JESUS! Jimmy we have missed you so much! With Love, Deanna & George Monzon

I was saddened to hear of Jimmy's passing. Sending sincere condolences to all of his family and friends.

Jimi was like a little brother to us. We have many fond memories of him growing up across the street from us, in North Miami. He would go to the beach with Debbie to surf, was a junior usher at Cindy's wedding and ended up catching the garter! He had no idea what came next! He was a good sport and went through with the tradition.
Through the years, he became an avid fisherman, surfer and kick boxer who pursued these interests with focus and determination until he excelled in them. A genuine good person.
We'll miss you, Jimi.

RIP Jimmy.....you taught me how to "conquer my fears". Great person and great friend gone too soon.

To Randi and Kathy and all who loved Jimmy -- my prayers are with you for comfort and strength at this time.  Jimmy was our "little brother"  always underfoot as we were growing up, but a good kid in all ways.  Please hold on to the good memories and know that he was blessed by all the love that surrounded him.

I knew Jimmy in high school. He was a sweet and adorable guy. My heartfelt condolences to his family and friends. May he rest in peace.

You will be missed. Prayers go out to his family and all that were blessed to have known him.

I remember him as a small child coming home with my girls to eat pasta.  He would sit for hours and meticulously draw airplanes.  He was sweet, kind and gentle.  I am so sorry for what happened to him.  I believe I may even still have some of his drawings.  He was really talented.  He deserved so much better.  Carolyn (Little) Crippen.

Jimmy and I go back to martial arts together, He was a really sweet guy and a great fighter.. My condolences go out to the family.

Kathy and family , I am so saddened to hear of Jimmy's passing. Such a wonderful person and I have so many great memories of him and Scott being such great friends since pre-school and playing together every day. Take care  and know that he is suffering no more . Love always

We heard this afternoon about Jimmy's passing, and send our thoughts and condolences to his family.  We cherish the lifetime of memories we were able to have with him as he grew up to be the fabulous man he was.  We called him our 3rd son.   Rest in peace, Jimmy.

I remember him from school and what a sweet young man. I am so sorry for your loss.

He is now at peace ... The joys and the memories that he shared with us will remain forever! Jimi was my high school sweetheart. I offer my sincere condolences to his family, and send him  love and light always.

Jimmy & I knew each other since 7th grade, we took our sweethearts to the prom, crazy night of fun! Then when I heard he was injured at Jackson in 93' dropped everything & went to see him, saw him at rehabilitation another time... Jimmy you deserved better than what you got... Thank you for touching my life... You were already a CHAMP the day we met! Rest in Peace finally my friend!

                                                              From Mallary  Benrube

Jimmy will always be in my memories of being a gentle, kind, sweet, all around great guy. I have known him since 3rd grade. I would walk home with him from elementary school with Scotty Martin (they were best friends). I am very sad today to know he has passed. But HE of all people is definitely in Heaven.

I lived across the street from Jimmy for 20 years. He was a great guy. He was so loved by his grandparents. What happened to him was such a tragedy.

I went to school with Jimmy & he was such a sweet and kind person...he was so down to earth!!!  I have the fondest memories of him & will hold those memories dear to my heart!  Much love sent your way to get you through this tough time!  Christina Wolfe Caserta

I went to school with Jim. Was one of the nicest kids i ever met. Popular but so down to earth. We were all very lucky we were friends with him. Straight out of a movie he was -his twinkle, good looks and great personality. Myself and a few friends have spoke of him often over the years after hearing what happened. Nothing but great memories. Truly saddened. RIP and thoughts to you all...

I am so sorry for your loss!!! He was the sweetest MOST handsome gentleman!!! By far the best to come out of North Miami!!! I remember him coming over and drawing planes for hours while my mom made him pasta!!! I will always remember the last time I saw him!! What a beautiful smile!!! You are missed my friend!

Maria, Kathy and Family.  I am so sorry to hear of Jimmy's passing.  I have many fond memories of being your grandparent's & Jimmy's next door neighbor in North Miami.  I think of them often. I remember when Jimmy and your grandfather locked down my home's hurricane awnings just before Andrew hit.  I was in North Carolina at the time and didn't get back in time. I also remember pushing Jimmy's black VW down 134th street on more than one occasion because his battery never seemed to hold a charge. Jimmy was a great person and he will be missed by all who knew him.  God Bless.

Dear Mrs. Maria Kelly, Please accept my condolences on the passing of your son, James. It was an honor to help you make arrangements. I appreciate the trust you have placed in Kraeer Funeral Home, Margate.
Sincerely yours,
