James,
You may not remember me, but i met you back in jr. high. I know this is late to be writing to you, but i just found out today what happened. It feels like a dream. I cannot believe one of my very good friends is no longer here today. I hope to see you again some day and I am sorry i didnt keep in touch. James, you were something special and I know God will enjoy you in his home. All of my best wishes and condolences go out to James family, friends, and girlfriend Brittany. I am sorry i never came to the memorial. You will be forever remembered and missed.
-Taunie

pours through and shines down upon us
to let us know they're happy.

Words cannot express our heartfelt sorrow for the loss of your son,brother and friend. Please find comfort in knowing that he touched the lives of many and because he lived it is a better world. We will always remember him with a smile. Our prayers and hearts are with you now and always.

James made me smile, whenever he looked up  with those amazing blue eyes, and revealed the joy of being a 5-year old.  That was more than a decade ago, but I will forever hold his childhood image in my mind and heart.  Aunt Dianne

I knew James from my son, Joseph, who was in the same grade and also from attending the basketball games.  I am so sorry for your loss.  May the Lord be with you during this sadness and give you renewed hope each day.



Dearest Judy, I can't find the words to express my sadness for your loss of your son.  I am so thankful that I got to know James.  I loved watching him skateboard and was amazed how he rode it like it was so easy.  I pray that your memories will help you during difficult times.  I believe time heals.  I love you girlfriend.  May God bless you and Hope and peace be with you always.

Dear Judy, Hope and Jim, My thoughts and prayers are with you each day. May God continue to give you the strength needed to get thru this difficult time.  I love you and am with you in spirit.

Judy, Jim and Hopie there are no words that I can say other than I love you all, you are in my heart and soul. The good lord was needing another angel. James was an awesome son, brother and friend. Watching Taylor and James when they were little they kept us on our toes. Always giggling and hugging. I miss you James August. My prayers are with everyone.

Our condolence to James family, we will miss him, from all of us our traveling baskeball team ""The Court Kings

My heart goes out to all of those hurting during this difficult time.  James was a wonderful young man that touched the lives of so many.  I am thankful that I got to watch him grow and proud of his accomplishments. The impact he had as ""Uncle James"" to my daughter is amazing. He will truly be missed and always remembered......Love you James!!!!

It doesn't matter how many I'm sorrys or condolences you recieve when hit with the ultimate hurt. There is no hurt greater and you know I do understand. As your friend I wish you peace and the ability to eventually function again like before. The memory will always be there. You have been a wonderful and caring mother and tried to do the best. You have a terrific daughter who depends on you and needs you for years to come. You have family and friends who love you. May God see you through this difficult time. Love, Bruce

Please accept our heartfelt condolences for the loss of your son. My family and I are thinking of you and pray for your pain to sway quickly so you can concentrate on the memories of such a wonderful person.

Judy, any words we share seem so inadequate to express the sadness Goldie and I feel. My soul is shaken to know the course of your lives have changed and completely against the natural order of things.  Children should follow parents in death not before.  His emotional pain, suffering and confusion are gone and I know you will keep his spirit alive with the many sacred memories you hold close in your heart.  I am certain your Precious James is safe in God’s Arms and will forever be in our Hearts.    May God touch your wounds with a gentle and tender hand bringing peace and healing in your life.    Love you and Hope forever and always.

Judy, Hope and Jim I cannot seem to put into words the great sadness we all feel at this time. Our love, support and prayers are all yours. In the difficult days ahead, rest assured you will not be alone, we will be there for you. I feel that such a beautiful soul could do nothing but enrich Heaven for those current residents and those to come.

James, you will forever be in the hearts of Isaac and myself! I'm sorry you lost touch at such young ages but sometimes parents do silly things and take friends away from each other.  You will FOREVER be in our hearts! Rest in peace with God and the angels.
We love you,
Jodi & Isaac Corbett

Hope and Judy, 
Please know that you guys have been in our prayers and will continue to be. James has gone to be an angel and will be watching over you always. I hope that you find peace and comfort during this difficult time.

I knew James cause of my son John Arredondo. They played basketball together for AC Jones High School in Beeville,Tx. He was a great kid he was well mannered him and my son are very good friends. He used to come over to play basketball with my son I just never would imagine a tragedy like this could happen to a sweet young man. Why he left this world so soon we will never know. He is in a better place now. James you will be missed but never be forgotten. You will always be in our hearts .R.I.P James Maki Jr. Love You, Jo Ann Medellin & John Arredondo. Once a Trojan always a Trojan #5

An amazing young man who I was very happy to know and always happy to see when the opportunity was there. I will miss him dearly!

Words cannot express how deeply saddened I am for all of you. Keep your faith close and know that Kalley, Morgan and I love you very much.

Love-Susan

Judy, Hope, How can I say what I feel. My prayers are with you. I don't know what I can do for you but that. My family is here for you. Love Gerri

Dear God, grant this family the strength and understanding to summon your eternal love in this time of broken hearts.  Take care of James, and assure him we will all meet up again.
