James, I still can’t believe you’re not here. Some of my favorite memories are with you and Amy.  I remember all the time James  would come into the royal farms to get his coffee and you knew not to talk to him until after he made it lol!! If it wasn’t for you both I wouldn’t have my family!! There wasn’t a thing that you wouldn’t have done for one of your friends, especially those of us you considered family.  God must have really needed his fallen angel because he took the best of the best! Know that we will always be here for Amy and the kids like you were for us. We know that your taking care of business up there and are making a place for your family and friends, so hurry up buddy so we don’t have to wait forever. We love and miss you sweetie xoxo Jason, Becky and Remi

There was never a time where you were not there for me, I could come to you anytime of the night or day to just talk or even come over and you would be there. You looked after me and I will hold that to my heart forever. I still remember my 21st where I took a shot of fire ball (your favorite) with you and I loved every moment of it. You are a very caring, loving person and who ever didn’t know you, lost out on a great man. A memory I will hold forever with me is when we were all together in the garage and we were drinking and you pushed me through the wall behind the door, left a big hole but you kept it there because it’s a memory we had. I love you so much. Watch over us and protect us. I miss you so much. ❤️

To my little brother;
I will miss your laughter and love of family.  You were my anchor to Maryland and I will forever miss you and look forward to seeing you on the other side. 



We miss you "Rock"!!! Our lives have forever changed. I'll personally miss hearing you tell me to get back in the kitchen where I belong.. or that men gave up their rib to keep women quiet. LOL. Keep a watch over us as we try to survive this world without you. RIP our dear friend

James was an amazing man. His love for his wife was so heart warming.  He was such a great teacher.  When we would hang out he taught me how to shoot a bow.  We would laugh so hard at me not being able to pull the thing back.  He was such a great friend and would do anything for anybody.  He will be missed greatly. Amy I pray for you daily as you begin a new normal.  

James has been a part of my life since about the time he was born.  As a little guy, he was rough and tumble, full of energy and always had a sweet smile.  He grew into a rough and tumble young man  who worked hard, played hard and who fell hard for a beautiful girl named Amy.  They created a beautiful family and life together and I never think of James without thinking of Amy.  I know he's counting on that support for her from all of us now .  James loved his family and his friends. It speaks volumes about a man who had so many people consider him to be their best friend.  You are so dearly missed James. Watch over us all till we meet again  - meet us when we get there.

I have known James for 20 years. I remember when he and Amy began dating and I clearly remember their wedding day. So many memories, but not near enough time to have him here in this world with us. Definitely taken too soon but James you will always be remembered. Amy (Emily, Gracie & Cody) will never be alone, or forgotten. For you will always be with them, but I know that her sisters and extended family and friends will make sure of it. James you were called home way to soon, but I am sure heaven needed you or it would not have been your time. Forever missed, you were one of a kind James. Love, Joy

I dont have the words big boy, it's been one hell of a ride. I've known you practically your entire life, maybe 35 years or so. We grew up together, worked out in the gym together, spent alot of time together in your younger days. Your a good man, a great father, and an exceptional husband. Go rest high on the mountain son, I'll see you soon. Love you buddy.

I loved you more than you will ever know! We couldn’t have asked for a better father and Mom couldn’t have asked for a better husband. You are the definition of a family man and You always made sure we were safe. There will forever be a hole in my heart with you gone❤️You are forever my pride and joy.  😘
Forever and Always
- Your Sweet Emily 

You were my soulmate and best friend of 27 years. We spent over half our life together and I am thankful to have so many great memories. You were an amazing husband and father to our three children and you protected and loved us all fiercly. You loved me beyond measure and were always there for me through all the good times and especially all the rough times. Words can never describe how much I miss you and how much I love you. My heart is breaking without you here and I miss you terribly. I am sure you are watching over all of us and know that we love you so very much. Until we meet again my love.. I will always love you. 

It's so difficult to express our sorrow and sadness over Jim's passing.   He was a giant of a man, not only in stature but in personality.  Jim was smart and interesting, strong and stern, sharp and quick, but gentle and kind, loving and supportive, and funny too.  His willingness to lend a hand where ever it was needed, the pride he had for his wife and family, and in his work and friendships are the things we will remember most about him.   Jim touched everyone he met with his personality -- knowing him was an honor.  And although God called him home, we selfishly  feel sorrow in the knowledge that that we will never have the pleasure of his company again.    May God Bless Amy Wilson and her children.  We ask God to open his arms and shoulder their pain, and grant them peace through this difficult time and forever.

I'm still at a loss for words and in disbelief that you're gone.  Thank you for being a wonderful husband to my sister and loving father to my nieces and nephew.  You're hilarious sense of humor will be missed for sure...you ALWAYS made us laugh.  We miss you beyond belief already.  Rest in peace, we love you so much! ❤🙏

Such a great guy to work with! Sorry for his family.

I remember when Jim came to the RR he caught on quick . Jim aka "Rock Lobster"was always a pleasure to work with . R.I.P. Brother Railroad 🙏🏻

James was always a person you felt comfortable to be around a good hearted person.He was a man who loved his family very caring with his wife.A father that lived to be a loving example to his children. And a brother that enjoyed his times with Howard that would bring a smile to his face.A son that would always be there for his dad and all his friends. I will miss you James at all our family get togethers it will never seem the same without you there.Being a big part of our lives.
