James was born in Borger, Texas December 28th, 1985. He graduated from Papillion LaVista South High School 2004. He was a Senior Systems Engineer.

James loved his family. He married Alicia Jones October 9, 2009. They built a beautiful life and home together. His children were his pride and joy and their pup Luna Belle was adored. There was never a shortage of corny dad jokes. He was an amazing chef and loved to cook for everyone. His pesto was the besto and his biscuits were better than any southern grandma could make. James’ favorite place to be was Colorado. He was happiest spending time in the mountains on an “easy trail”. A day at the beach would also bring him great joy. James loved to drive fast. He was a collector of cars and maybe a couple of speeding tickets.

James will be missed more than words can express. His beautiful smile and the memories made at family dinners, celebrations, wind storm clean up, family vacations, chopped competitions, and game nights will remain forever with those that love him. His time here was short but full of happy and love.

There will be a Celebration of Life on Thursday August 25th at The Belvedere 201 E 1st St, Papillion, NE 68046, 5:30 – 8:30.
