I didn't know Jimmy or his family, but read his journey through Facebook, He seemed like a wonderful person who was loved by many. I especially loved reading his inspirational and heart felt advice regarding love every day you have and those around you. Such wonderful words from a young man. I know God now has a wonderful angel with him. Condolences to his family,but I want you to know he has touched my life and I didn't even know him. God Bless!!!

So sad to hear of Jimmies passing. We think back to when he and brother Timmy would come knocking at our door and ask if we had any work for them as they were trying to make some spending money. He would smile from ear to ear evrytime they'd finished working and we paid them for their efforts. Great memories for us. Please feel at ease to know that he is in a better place.

Newcomber Family~
Please know that we are praying for you in this hard, hard time. I loved James as a student in English class. I can't tell you how many times he made me smile. Now, he's at home with his Heavenly father.

Growing up with your family for a good part of my life, its hard not to know one of the Newcomers. The last memory I had of Jimmy was when he was just in grade school. Hard to accept what has happened but you just have to let friends and family be the shoulder to lean on in this difficult time. Your family has left an impact on the community and good people are never forgotten. I will keep your family in my thought and prayers.
