I can remember going to the Pancake House on 51 after roll call in Felony Response. James would drink down a few cups of coffee then he'd be ready for the night a day whatever it would bring.

Hard to believe a year has passed since we lost James. I still think of him often and remember him on the day we graduated from the Police Academy. Tall, in great physical condition and a SMILE from ear to ear. What a great guy. His "nickname" at the time was "Tackle berry" from the old Funny police academy movies. RIP Jim.

Sincere condolences to Marianne and family.
May God bless each of you.
So many great memories of the fun times with Jimmy during our high school years.  Thanks for your career in protecting Memphis as a law enforcement officer and leader.  Your involvement in helping others describes the character of the man. Rest In Peace my friend.

It is with great sadness that l heard of James passing. We were in the Police Academy together. He was a great guy. Good sense of humor and never heard a bad word come from him.  He loved being an officer and took  great care in his appearance and was always a consummate professional. He went much to young. RIP my friend. 


Jim known as (Little Jim) and I grew up together since we were almost baby's and I have thousands of memories. Several  great memories was like going down to their cabin playing and fishing with his Dad (Big Jim) and his Mom his Dad would play guitar and we would all be singing songs. Jim had a great dog he loved and named him Shep and was always tagging along with us where we went.  Then there was the Blue Bird car a Mercury Comet and the Ford Galaxy  his Dad would take us all over in those cars. So many Memories that will never forget.

To My Brother in law James
You gave no one a last farewell
Nor ever said goodbye
You were gone before we knew it
and only God knows why
A million times we will miss you,
A million times we will cry,
If love alone could have saved you
You would have never had died.
In life we loved you dearly
In death we love you still
In our hearts you hold a place
No one else can fill
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn't go alone
For part of us went with you
The day God took you home

Love you my brother
Elizabeth "Liz Ann" and Phil Cole

We would be in roll call and he would always get my name wrong. It was funny and he would have the shortest roll calls. He was a good Lt. 

Jimmy was one of a kind.  We were in ROTC and several other classes together. My fondest memories were riding around in his truck on the weekends and going to Chase mansion in Shelby Forest.  You know he’s in Heaven smiling down on us. You will be missed by many. 

James and I were partners when we both worked in Felony Response. James would always go to the Pancake Shop on 51 to get tanked up with coffee to start the shift. Then we would wait on the call. We got promoted together and then went in different directions. I'll miss you James 

So many great memories working with James at the old Beale Street Substation and Downtown Precinct.   Those old Ocean cars. Lots of calls and dealing with downtown Memphis.   Breakfast or should I say Coffee right after roll call at the original Green Beetle.  James always had your back, always available, willing to give everything.   Prayers to Marianne and the kids. 

I worked with James many years as a police officer.  He had a great sense of humor and was a respected police officer.   I'm very sorry to hear of his passing.⁸

My condolences to his family. He was such a friendly and caring person. Always a pleasure to work with. My prayers are with the family.

As a young detective newly assigned to Felony Response , a Sgt took me under his wing and showed me how to do state reports investigations and interviews. That Sergeant was James. The skills he taught me I still apply to my daily task in Pulaski County as a Deputy Sheriff.
Thank you James.
My sincerest condolences to the family of James Heldenbrand. Know that he helped many people even when they didn’t know they were being helped.

I have many memories as a teenager, running around Frayser with the one and only character known to us all as "Heldenbrand". Your smile and wit will be missed. Rest in Peace.
