James Alan "Jamie" Echols

Dear Nancy,
it seems only a short time ago that I was sending a message through this site about my sweet cousin Andrea age 34 found in her car in the Narrows. Having said that, I can imagine your grief and that of your family in the devestating loss of one so young, your nephew, a child, a sibling, a cousin in a family whom I have no doubt loved him so dearly. I am truly very sorry for your loss.

To Nancy Porter and your family,
I was so moved to hear of your nephew, Jamie. I want to let you know you have my sincere sympathy, Nancy, and I am sure you remember me losing my nephew Tim at such a young age also. I will be keeping you in my thoughts in the days to come, and please know that I can understand, and that I am so very much saddened for the grief and pain you are enduring.
With kindest regards, I am.

Keith, please know how saddened Greg and I were to hear about the death of your son. I can not imagine the grief you and your family are dealing with. You continue to be in our thoughts and prayers. Sincerely, Greg and Jean Carr

Dear Echols Family,
I am praying for you during this tough time of your life. Jamie and I had a class together in high school and he was a great guy with a spirit that would always brighten my day. Always remember whatever God brings you to, he can bring you through. I will be thinking of your family daily.

As Jamie's fourth grade teacher, I was asked several times if I still remembered Jamie after all this time. My answer was always YES. Jamie had so many positive qualities that we all loved and cherished! He will be greatly missed by all that knew him!

Dear Echols Family,
We send our deepest sympathy at this sad and tragic time. Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Echols Family. May God bless and comfort you during your enormous grief.

Mr. & Mrs. Echols - I was so heartbroken to hear the news about Jamie. He was one of my all time favorite students. I taught Jamie Science in 7th grade at Pizitz Middle. His clever wit and personality has always endeared him to me. I am so very sorry.
