Had the privilege to be friends with James for 12 years. Very sad to lose him. My condolences to wife Jamie and family. Miss you James.

You Will be missed God BLESS all the family Love to you all

James was a great neighbor and friend to us. He was always pleasant and encouraging while we were building our own home and was always there if we needed anything. He mowed our grass for us while we were busy building and enjoyed seeing our garden. He will be greatly missed. Our condolences and prayers for his family.

Dear Jamie.
You are all in my prayers. What a warrior James was fighting this disease, especially with you at his side. The stories of his fortitude were a testament of true courage, and I'm sure helped others carry on with their journey.
My heartfelt condolences to you and the entire family.
