I moved to Seattle so I hadn't been able to visit JR as often as I would when I lived in Houston. Was able to stop by and visited his plot during my brief visit to TX. It'd been about six years since I last visited. Even if we can't always be there physically, know JR is always in our thoughts. He was a great friend and a beautiful life.

JR, I live with it each day that I was able to get out and you couldnt. I had a broken back and there was nothing I could do and it eats at me everyday that I couldnt get to you all.
For those you loved, you talked about them til the end and about the stupid marathon you ran. Miss your snake talks.

Hello,
We would like to express our deepest condolences and also let the Tijerina Family know that we recently made a small donation to the Seven Stars Foundation to honor James R. Tijerina US Marine Sergeant. We recognize that this is a humble tribute, but we wanted you to know that it is heartfelt and made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals across the American youth hockey community and beyond. We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you safe and...

You and your family are always in my Prayers. I know being a mother of a Fallen Hero, is painful. I too lost my son to this OEF war, Afghanistan. You and my son and all those that gave the ultimate sacrifice will always be Remembered and Honored.
