So sorry for the family’s loss. I remember us becoming best friends and his birthday parties, us laughing at each others jokes, snide remarks, and we were always hugging each other hello and goodbye. We were together a small time being but we had a good relationship, we stayed friends after and things happened that I wasn’t in control of and we talked it out and became friends again. His heart was pure of gold, funny, kind, sweet, and loving. We never stopped giving each other our hello and goodbye hugs, I’m going to miss you dearly dear friend. Rest easy. 💜

I'm so sorry for your loss. I didn't know James too well but I know that he had a heart of gold and even when he was down in the dumps, he would have a smile on his face.  Rest easy friend ❤️

James was always so sweet and very polite! Everytime I saw him he hugged me so tight!! So sorry for your loss, I know you will miss him very very much! We all will!! ❤️❤️

Losing a son or sibling is an absolute tragedy, and is beyond unfair.  I just can’t imagine this type of loss, and it saddens me you all are going through this. 
The whole family has my condolences, and prayers. 

So sorry for your loss, James was the most loving sweetest & kind man. He would help anyone in need. Love ya all 

James and I Met 4th grade year I’m so thankful and greatful for a bestfriend a brother like him He accepted me for me.He’s always been there for me through every relationship, Break up He’s always gave great advice when anyone needed it. I’m so grateful he got to be in my wedding we’ve had so many memories together in these 23 Years of friendship I’m Gonna Miss You Brother Love you Man ❤️

James and I graduated high school together. He was always so nice, goofy, smiling, and full of energy. I lost touch with him after high school but got to see him again as he dropped off his twin nieces at elementary. I was working there and had morning car duty. He would always say hi and good morning  or honk and wave if I wasn’t the person to get the girl out of the car. He still had his bright smile and full of energy personality!! He had a contagious laugh!! I will remember his laugh and smile always!! My thoughts and prayers are will all of you!! 

James and I met in 7th grade and he remained one of my closest friends ever since. His family became my family and to this day, we still keep in touch. J Dawg was a bright spot in all of our lives and it is with great sadness that we had to let him go. I hope everyone who knew him realized what an amazing person he  was. Rest easy my friend. You are loved.
