Here we are 11 years later and still remembering James fondly and thinking of his family. The boys are all grown now and I know James is a big reason that my Joey now coaches kids himself in baseball. James touched many people's lives with his kindness and love. I hope all of his family are happy and thriving today. Sending love and prayers today in memory of our great friend James.
Love, Dawn Macfarlane (Joey's mom)

To the Coyle family, and especially his sons,Ryan and Drew,
Words cannot express how sorry I am about your loss. It was always heartwarming to hear from your family at Frans, that James and family lived so close here in Oregon. My heart and prayers go out to you. May you find comfort in the love shared, strength in your family and friends, and trust that God will hold him close.

Coyle family...Constant thoughts and prayers

When my mind is quiet, I hear him.
When my body is still, I feel him. He is with us always.

Keep your faith and have no fear, for rest assured he's always near. In every shadow and in the skies, in our hearts and his children's eyes. Whenever you need him, call his name; before you're finished he already came. Do not doubt what you can't physically see, for he'll be with you through eternity.

Dear Tippy, Cindy, Timmy and Sean, There are so many happy memories that I have of James! He and I took a while before we decided we would be friends but once you made James a friend you had one for life. He was a big teddy bear under that gruff exterior but if you knew James that was his way of showing his affection. The more he picked on you the more he liked you! I guess I was pretty lucky because he picked on me ALOT! He will be greatly missed and loved forever. Peace and love to...

Condolences to James' family...especially to the boys. Your dad was a man that was pleased to showcase pictures of you in his office. He has always been proud of you. May the Lord richly comfort you at this time, and bless you as well.

Cindy, Tippy, Timmy, Sean, Scott, Ryan, Drew, and to all those who knew and loved Jamie....Let his strength now be yours...He lives in you, and all those who loved him.

Dear Jamie,
The people closest to you, knew you not as a 'tough guy' but a 'gentle giant' with a heart of gold who would go to any lengths to protect those he loved. Thank you for always being there for me. I wish I told you more often how special you are and how much you meant to me. I miss you and will...
