I can´t believe Janes would´ve been 17 this month. I still grieve for my friend and his family 2 years later, I´m lucky to have been one of James´s best friends and to have had him teach me how to mountain bike. I love you James and I´m constantly thinking of you.

I cannot believe that James passed, my best friend in the whole world is gone, I can't even begin to think how willy feels, I still hang out with him but there's always something missing like I try to be as if I were James but we just never fit together. I cry for him everyday to show a sign he is still there but the sign never comes, I wish I didn't have to move away to Vermont so that I could be friends with Will and the family for the rest of my life. I am deeply sorry for your loss and wish you a good life. here is a photo i took on our last sleepover together.

Dear Darlene, Ben, Will and Natalie. We are deeply saddened to learn of your loss. An unimaginable time in your life. A time no one wants to encounter. And I am no different. But know I and my family are here for you, to help you through this sorrow, to remember you are loved and to assist in anyway we can.
With time, this pain will heal. With time, happy memories will replace the sorrow felt today. With time, your friends will still be by your side.
With much sympathy and love,

We are deeply sad to hear of Jame's passing. Alex was friends with James at Braeburn and they used to love playing pokeman. James was a good friend to Alex and we remember him as smiling, fun and so kind. He genoursously included Alex in the relay run around West Hartford.
We extend our deepest sympathy to you and your family.

Our hearts are broken with you Ben and Darlene. My daughters have been friends with James for a very long time and they described him as being super smart and funny in chemistry class and a good friend. He was awesome in jazz band. What a terrible loss!!
Beautiful painting of an endangered Dugong that James painted in my art class in 7th grade. James will never be forgotten<3
