Not sure what to say?

I knew James as JR. He was my mentor, my sensei, a father, figure for over 25yrs. I'm 52, so that's almost half my life. I will we miss him tremendously. This was the hardest Honor Guard ceremony I've "ever" coordinated. I will never have the words to describe my sensei. Rest in peace sensei, I love you. Vinny.....

Top Notch Guy! The Lord has someone to watch his back now! Numerous memories and lessons learned from JR. Tons of great times at the office. He created an excellent crew at work, you will be deeply missed. Lord you hand picked one of the greatest I have known.
Integrity, heart and dedication! D.I.C. rest in peace Sir.

What a great man. It was a true pleasure knowing him and working with him. He taught me a lot over the years. RIP, J.R. Thank you for everything!

Thinking of the Skaggs families with much love and deports regards. A special hug for Bob - we love you our dear friend. May JR and Mark send you all feathers or pennies from Heaven to let you know they’re walking with you.

I met JR through his dad, Bill, who I worked with at the Sheriff’s Office a long time ago. Like his dad, JR had his own special brand of humor. I consider JR a good friend whom I will miss a lot.

I met Jr. Skaggs at the US Marshals Service, he was a true leader and mentor to us new Deputies. I will miss this man, he gave us a great welcoming to Yuma. He was a true warrior, and excellent Lawman, I still have a "US MARSHAL" band he gave me. Until we meet again Jr. thank you for everything.

He was a good, kind person.
He is with the Lord.
