I’m really sad to hear this. Jude was a participant in a training I co-facilitated, and he was such a bright light, SUCH a bright light. 
I’m praying for his family, friends, and supporters that you’re able to find comfort as you allow yourself to grieve, remember, & heal.

I will Forever cherish are memories cousin Jude 🫶🏻 You had the most amazing heart ❤️ you will forever be missed. Thank you for all the love you share with my little family.. 💔 We were blessed to have you even if it was just for a little while in life you were gone to soon.. Love you n will miss u Jude forever 🫶🏻

Judes’ life is an inspiration to so many of us!  To me I was and will always be inspired by his love of life, his faith and his ability to make me laugh in the most difficult of situations.  I look forward to laughing with him again!

I am still heartbroken over the loss of such a great friend. You were with me through my ups and downs, through the days I felt strong and the days I could barely stand. You never left, never judged — you simply stayed.
Thank you for your loyalty, your kindness, and your steady presence in my life. I will forever be grateful for the laughter we shared and the strength you gave me when I needed it most.
You may be gone from my sight, but you will never be gone from my heart. 🤍

I still remember the very first time you did karaoke — and it was with us.
You were a little shy at first, pretending you didn’t want the mic, but we all knew you were just gathering the courage. When you finally stood up and held that microphone, we cheered like you were on a big stage. And when you started singing, something shifted — the nerves disappeared, and there you were, smiling, laughing, completely yourself.
It wasn’t just about the song. It was about the moment. The way we all laughed together. The way your voice filled the room. The way that night felt so light and full of life. That memory has become one of the most special ones I carry in my heart.
You gave us so many simple, beautiful moments like that — moments that didn’t seem big at the time, but now mean everything. Your laughter, your courage, your presence… they will forever echo in our lives, just like that first karaoke song.
Thank you for that night.
Thank you for the memories.
Thank you for being such a wonderful friend.
You may no longer be here with us physically, but your song — your spirit — will always stay in our hearts.
With love and deep gratitude,
Rae and James
