Love is an unbreakable force near or far will always be there

Karaoke was never my thing but when it was me and James felt like I could do it all thank u my man for opening me up to a new comfort level and loads of fun with you on the mic. BEST TO EVER DO IT!!! I know your up there singing away and jammin like we used too. Love u my ninja sleep well

2 1/2 years ago James joined us for our wedding deep in the woods of Santa’s Village in Lake Arrowhead, Ca. I love this picture of us it’s to me a perfect picture. He said how he was gonna wear his best black shirt for me lol. James was someone if you had the chance to sit down with,  U didn’t want to get up, unless it was for a Modelo. Not a moment went by that he wasn’t crackin off some jokes to make you laugh, or random beat box sound or funny voice impression. I’m missing these moments as many others are but just kno I’m gonna keep ‘em crackin off. James you’re one of a kind and never forgotten. Always everyone’s favorite Wise guy but also a wise guy  with an earful of thought, compassion, honesty and real talk. That’s the part that’s hardest to be without. Missing my Scorpio twin. ( side note - on my wedding night james took care of my son ‘who just finished dropping the killer speech & having shook the whole house and the open bar’ “shot shot shot shot” aka Lil Mase). Thanks James. He Always had my back even without me knowing but I’m know that he still always has my back in an even greater power now.  Let’s go Steelers !!! For James!

Jimmy and Family,

I am sorry to hear about the loss of James Jr. May his memory be for a blessing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Very best wishes,

You were the light in our darkness at Target. You made all of us laugh. I knew it was a good night when you were in electronics with me. I will miss your smile, your laugh and your hugs. You made our lives so much better. Thank you James. You will be missed by everyones lives you have touch. I know he is watching over everyone of us.

James, I loved your big hugs and all the times you made me laugh when I needed it. You will always be one of my Target kids. Rest in paradise🙏
Native American Prayer by Robin Drummond
 I give you this one thought to keep - I am with you still - I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow, I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush, I am the swift, uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not think of me as gone - I am with you still - in each new dawn.

Some of my best memories were formed hanging out with this amazing guy, he was like another big brother for me and loved me and accepted me no matter my flaws . He made everyone laugh even on the roughest of work days or otherwise. You will be forever missed, Juice.

James, you made my days working at Target so memorable & enjoyable. Always knew it would be a fun, eventful shift when I saw you clock in. Thank you for the laughs and memories. May you rest peacefully. 🙏❤️

Probably the first time you guys let me tag along, riding in your camry with your sub woofers bumping I would always hear you turning the corner when you would come over. Always in our hearts. Rest easy Juice!

Some of the best nights I had growing up were always with you and my brother Alfred. I’m glad you guys let me tag along as much as you did. You became family. Rest easy big bro!

A day at the beach was always one of your favorites, you will be missed deeply brother. Rest in paradise.

You were my best friend when I needed it the most. We hadn’t spoken in awhile, but I never forgot about you. May God grant you peace and happiness as you transition to the next state of your existence.

Everyday and night we hung out will be a cherished memory! I still can’t believe your life was cut so short! But I know you’re up there watching over all of us! You were our big brother, our protector, our teddy bear! Enjoy hugging up on your grandma and waiting for all of to see eachother again one day! Love you Jamezito!!! Love Jaz

I’m so happy my boys had the opportunity to feel your love! I hope you know that they always remembered you Tio James! Your love and heart are unmatched…

You were more than just a friend you were my brother! I will miss you and love you till I see you again!
