Jim and I had many water cooler chats about life, Colorado, and work musings at Trustwave. I'll always remember him as a genuine soul with a steely resolve. I feel lucky to have known him. Best wishes to his family and friends. Please know he was respected and appreciated by many.

I was stationed with Jim at MCRD clinic. I remember his family and how he assisted anyone who needed help. Around 2011 Jim stopped in to say hello before joining the motorcycle riders for Rolling Thunder. Rest In Peace my brother!!

James was a very special member of my family and he will be missed greatly.
Farewell, my teenage friend and next door neighbor from Guam, circa 1978. Rest in peace.

It was such sad and heartbreaking news to realize that Jimmy is no longer with us, but I pray his soul is resting in peace. For his loved ones left behind, I send my deepest condolences. My thoughts and prayers are with you, that God will comfort you with His gracious love as you grieve the loss of my friend from my teenage years on the beautiful island of Guam. I've always known Jimmy to be a private, reserved person with a good heart. Jimmy, you will be missed by all who knew you. Instead of "Hafa adai", I now bid you, "ajos".
