Not sure what to say?

James was a fierce role model, always pushing those around him to do better. He made trying your best look effortless, full stop at all times. I would've loved to have him as part of my adult life, and in retrospect feel as if he had so, so much to teach me. What was taken from those he loved, and loved by him, will never be understated. This year marks a decade since he left us physically, but will by no means leave our minds. Love you James, always.

One of the neighbors and I were just talking about you and the family last week. You are a wonderful person and we were blessed to have you all as our neighbors.

its been 5 years and i still cant get over how suddenly it happened. i was in complete shock and it took me a long time to move on. eventually i did but it still hurts. i could never put into words exactly how i feel but im grateful i at least have amazing memories with you. i hope youre resting in peace and looking over the kids.

Thinking of you still brings tears, James. Know I will see you again in heaven but miss you here on earth.

I just learned of the tragic news yesterday. Jenny, my deepest sympathies go out to you and the kids.

I didn't stop in often, but when i did, he always made me feel like i was his favorite customer.

James, we miss you.
Your goofy sense of humor.
Your stress-free and cool-headed nature.
Your love for Dairy Queen Blizzards.
Heaven is lucky to have you.

I had the pleasure to have james work on some of my business artwork. I loved recommending him to others because I thought he was so sincere. We were currently in the process of doing work for my house. I will get that finished with the ICON staff and use it as a way to never forget James.

Bright lights like James Mikrut never go out. Look only into the night sky, into the eyes of his children, into a place where people he loved and cherished gather together. That light carries on with every bit of brightness and energy we all came to know in our own ways when we were around him. That was evident in his beautiful memorial service.

God Bless You Mikrut family, and remember that light is with you always and forever.

I met James through a business association. He was always helpful and fair. James made a lasting impression on me. My sympathy to all his family and friends. I know he will be deeply missed by many.
