I am so saddened by your loss. James was far to young to leave us. The good Lord has taken one of earths beautiful flowers into heaven's own garden. I know you have lost a wonderful part of your life, but Heaven wanted that great soul. What wonderful memories all of you must have. I certainly do! Enjoy them with a smile and a warm heart. James was a happy person.

James will be missed by many but will be remembered by all. He could walk into a room full of people and make them all laugh. My heart goes out to Tatum!

To Dana, Marian, and the McCanless Family ~ Words cannot describe the sadness I feel for your loss. Just seeing Tatem the other day, I know she will be a very special person, just like her daddy. We should be thankful that James left a beautiful little girl here on Earth to carry on his wonderful personality. He will be dearly missed, and never, never forgotten.

To the entire McCanless family, Dana and Tatum,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you daily during such a difficult time. Memories of James are shared often in our home. Jesse was so proud of his friend and talked about him the whole drive home after meeting back up with James at Redwood Acres just a few weeks ago. The stories of good times are endless. Find strength with the love of family and friends.
