James, you were such an amazing person and everyone will always remember you and your smiling face without a doubt in our minds. I saw you the day before any of this happened and everything seemed fine. I just wish I could have given you a hug and told you to stay strong and that everything would be ok. School, let alone Math class wont ever be the same without you man.
Love you with all my heart.

James, may God always cradle you close and shine his light on you. I did not know you during your living years but certainly feel like i know you now. My daughter, also a grade 12 student, certainly knew you and misses you. Many lives were imprinted by your unconditional love, warmth, and spirit; you will live in their hearts forever. God bless your family and friends. May you now rest in the eternal peace you are so deserving of. Good-bye James.

Jamesy, man oh man I don't even know what to say. You were an angel sent from above, you've changed my life in so many ways. Going to school is definately going to be harder, not being able to see you in the morning by your truck. I know your watching down on all of us here. We are all doing our best to stay strong, you've made our group of friends that much stronger. You are always going to be our soldier James. I miss you and I love you! * teeth to the wind *

I will never forget that first day that I met you. You came running down the stairs with that big smile on your face and introduced yourself. That smile left a huge imprint on my heart.It seems to run in your family. From the first day you treated me like you've known me forever. We may not have been close friends but just being friends with your brother and seeing you and hanging out made a huge impact on me. Never thought you'd leave so soon. The kindness , the warmth, and the smiles = ) you and your family hold in your hearts is truly amazing. God bless you, Bryan, Kyle and your mom and dad.

Jay, I will never forget all the amazing memories we had. I was lucky to know a person like you. Being your neighbour for all these years was amazing. I remember the random times when we used to hang out on the streets and try to play sports. I wasn't good, but you always gave me something to do. Even as we got older and everyone didn't hang out as much you made sure that you and I were still friends. We talked all the time at school, and you always continued to help me. It is going to be hard not to see your smiling face at school or even at home. You will never be forgotten and I will always miss you.
Rest in Peace James

Jay man. I'll always remember that amazing summer we had back when we were kids. Cliff jumping, hanging out in the camper, burning our school notes because we wouldn't need them anymore and roasting marshmellows over them. I'm going to remember you and that summer forever and I will miss you.

Although i didnt speak to you much, you were always the loudest, happiest guy in the halls. STL just isnt the same without you. I hope your in a better place now James. Rest in peace.
May 2, 2009
Although I did not know James personally, I will miss him! I saw him almost everyday at STL, and everytime I saw him he was laughing and smiling with that beautiful smile of his in the halls. Many times he held the door open for me while I was walking to my next class, and just that made my day.
God bless James, his family and friends, and may he watch over us all now in heaven. :)

I didn't know James, but he was with my son in the Queen's York Rangers. My son said McKenzie could lift the spirits of everyone when they needed it most. He will be truly missed.

On SQ, I remember how he made us laugh when we were feeling down, how he always showed enthusiasm and gave it his 110%. I don't ever remember him criticizing another person in the group, only encouraging them and passing on his motivation.

To all James' friends out there....nothing is ever bad enough to say goodbye this way. He left behind all of you, his family, and his platoon. Be at peace James, and watch over us all to make sure we make it through this life in one piece. We're counting on you. For all of you out there reading this guest book....I am sorry for you loss, and I pray to God that you all find your way, and find it safely.
R.I.P. James
To James' Family - I was walking my dog the day I saw the emergency vehicles in front of your house. I knew something awful happened. I don't know any of you well, only Swifty and I am sure he misses his buddy. Please believe that my heartfelt sympathy is with you, and I am sorry that you have to endure this.
God will walk you through this.

On our SQ course in August 08, McKenzie was the spirit of the entire course. He had so much character and enthousiasm, that he was forced to pass it off to everyone else, and then everybody gained confidence due to Mac's passion for the military. He is a man who will be missed by each and every person who has ever been close to him. RIP Mac, keep the rest of us safe from up above.

As the mother of one of James' fellow Queen's York Rangers, my heart goes out to you his family. Although we didn't have an opportunity to meet him personally, we were fortunate to get to see our young men (and women) in action this past weekend at Camp Borden. They make us proud!
Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers and we trust that James is now at peace.

James, I never got the chance to meet you. In fact, I don't think I said more than ten words to you. But you taught me something I needed to learn a few years back and for the future. Everytime I walk down our great hall at STL, your smile reminds me to spend my 'dash' wisely, to live life to the fullest. Somehow, I knew you in many ways. Rest in peace. <3

McKenzie (as we knew him) served his Co-op with my son "Thompson" (David) at the Queens York Rangers. He was a great kid. I'm not sure who was more dissappointed when he broke his ankle, McKenzie or my son. R.I.P. McKenzie, God Bless You All.
