James Arness Birdette

Birdette was One of My best Friends in Life! I will Always miss Him and Love him! Praise the Lord and Here Here will Forever be missed as Well! We will Meet again, but Not yet! RQQ!

Although I only knew James for a short period of time while working for Covenant House, his presence has been greatly missed since his passing. Knowing him was to know a man who truly treated every person with kindness and respect. Every night on my way out I stood and spoke with him while waiting for my ride home and in that time I got to call him a friend. He spoke of his family and how much he valued his time with them, he spoke of his days in college and he encouraged me to continue on...

Mr. Birdette will be deeply missed. He was such a gentle and uplifting presence at Covenant House-always offering a kind word of praise, a warm smile, and a friendly wave that brightened my day whenever I saw him. His kindness touched so many, and his absence will be felt by all who had the privilege of knowing him. My heartfelt condolences go out to his family and friends during this difficult time.

Birdette family please accept our deepest condolences. The Joyner family

James was a sincere fun loving college student. It was a joy to see his smiling face as he walked Lane College´s campus and observe him receiving the full college experience. He clearly demonstrated a love for his fraternity. May "Bird" rest in the loving arms of God. My condolences to his family. May God comfort each of you during this time of loss. Love, Elma "Jean" Browning-McKay Lane College Class of 1982
