Deepest love and condolences to his sisters Clayton and Austin and their families; to Mylene, his wife who never stopped being his best friend.
James saw beauty in places that would scare most. A man who walked his talk and gave loving shelter in his friendships. A very fine artist.
Thank you James, for being James.
We miss you so very much.
It's a beautiful evening sky, I think
you might be painting still..

To all who loved James:
I met James once at an Art Opening in Hollywood, I had recently arrived from the East Coast and was delighted to meet such a gentle and seemingly genuine soul - Something about James I will remember and take with me throughout my life's journey - Thank you James
Prayers to him now along with his loving family, friends...! Maybe he was an Angel walking amongst us!

James was a great friend of mine-a wonderful artist. We frequently went out to dinner together and art openings. He loved my cats-Max and Bella. And he was a champion of my paintings and collages. I will greatly miss him. Am in shock and grieving over the loss of my friend, Jamesy. RIP, Love Simone

I missed Jamesy before he was gone... I met him on FB and he became a fast phone friend -- understanding, kind, and funny -- over the months my dad was dying. I'm sorry I lost touch with him and when I tried to reconnect it was too late. He loved talking about his mother, his wife, and those he was close to. with love, Connie xxOxx
