James and I were friends in high school and I'll always remember James not only as a jokester but as a friend who was genuine. I am saddended to only learn of his passing today; I most recently talked with him at our 10 year graduation and it seemed that he hadn't changed a bit - funny and outrageous. God Bless his family and friends.

I new James for a very short period but near the end of his amazing life. I lived very close to him and knew in his heart that he had a sincere and close walk with our GOD. What James did not complete here on earth, we will see him again in heaven. He will be his witty, funny, and wise self. One that has made a remarkable turnaround during the later years of his life. He accomplished things here on earth that most men could not as it required a strong belief and moral fiber that he alone could not possess by himself, but he learned how to receive this gift. I miss James. We had plans to meet in the business world in the future, but more importantly, we planned to remain close friends and brothers in Christ. I can't believe his absence. I saw him on his last afternoon on earth. I know he is in heaven as on that day, he still

had the same walk, belief, and had great plans with his family. Please draw upon this vision and memory of James, as he is truly a believer and a kind and sincere soul. We can't understand why was taken from earth, but rest assured that James has placed his complete trust in GOD and knows that GOD will provide our comfort. James is smiling and smirking and doing his Napoleon voice for us now.

I have been putting this off for some time now.... I guess I needed time for it to settle. I guess I needed time to contemplate. I lived with James. I worked with James. I considered James a close friend, and I lost touch with him. Our lives went in seperate directions and I kept putting off contacting him. As I thought about the loss of James I realized something. This is EXACTLY the James I came to know. How better could James have helped us realize how precious life is? How could James have brought the frailty of life to our minds? How could James 'shock' us enough to stop and think and reflect, and strive to be better? By surprising us only the way James can. Everything James did, while I knew him, was flamboyant, big and without subtlety. So, I came to terms with this loss the only way I could assume James would have me to. By realizing it was a message from James, loud and clear; "Life is short, live, love, forgive and strive to walk in the path of 'His' Glory." Amen James, AMEN!!

Love ya,

I also worked at Chili's with James and would like to send my thoughts to his family. I am truly sorry for your loss. You should know that James was such a fun, genuine spirit. Always ready to make work fun and enjoyable. I always thought that was his outlook on life as well.

I met James in the summer of 2005. He was the first person that I met when I came to Arizona. He really knew how to turn strangers into friends. During the times that I spent with James I learned that he loved life, loved his family, and loved the Lord. You can't ask for more than that! My prayers are with the family during this difficult time.

I met James when we worked at Chilis together. Always a smile on his face, a prank to be played, or a kind word when I was feeling down. I am so happy I ran into him over Thanksgiving and spent time catching up with him. It will be a moment treasured forever. God bless the Halverson's, your family is in our many prayers.

I didn't know James very well but I know he left a lasting impression on me. I knew him from when I would play drums at 242. He was such a funny guy and welcomed everybody wholeheartedly. He was a faithful man of God and will always be remembered. I won't forget him saying "Get your ice cold bibles!"

To the Halverson family, May God be with you at this time. I will keep you in my prayers.

I'm sure you all know by now how I felt about James. My life will now seem so quiet and not quite as funny and bright. I will never forget my good friend and I feel so blessed to have had him in my life on and off since high school. He was one of my best friends and the stories of his life will live on as long as we do. He is with our Father now and having the best time of his life. He led his life for Christ and God has called him home and for sure told him, "Well done good and faithful servant." You will always have a little piece of my heart James. Love to the Halversons'.

How do you say goodbye to someone like James? James was a walking ray of the brightest sunshine that could ever be seen. No matter what he was trying to do he would give it 100% of his attention and commitment. I have known James for over 11 years and I will have to say he is one of a kind and we will never know anyone else of his same goodwill and spirit. I am sure that everyone reading this has many very special memories of James making them smile…and now for the first time he is even making us cry. I will miss James because of whom he was and can only dream of what he would have accomplished if he were only able to have more time on this earth. I know James will raise the humor level up in the heavens and will definitely never let us forget who he was and what he believed in.

We will miss you,

Our condolences to the you all. God Bless you.

James was a great friend to us and he always managed to make us laugh and smile. From the days in SURGE and ACN and working out together in the gym to the days in church and everywhere else, we will cherish forever those times. Nobody had a better sense of humor. When James met you, you became his friend for life. That's the kind of man he was. James was a man who was committed to serving his Lord and Savior inside and outside the church. James always looked for the good things in people and looked at the good and bright sides of every challenge in life. We'll never forget you James. Every time I see or hear the words, "It's All Good" I'll remember that those were your words. I know your smiling in heaven and loving it. We will miss you greatly and we look forward to joining you in heaven with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. My sincere condolences to the Halverson family. James was like a younger brother to us. We were truly blessed to have him in our lives.

"It's All Good" because James is with our Lord and Savior.

Love,

Glen and Jen Lyon

James was a very dear friend he was

like a brother to me. Was always

there if you needed anything. Always making me laugh and motivated you with work and life.

We worked together many years at two different companies and doing his bus ACN and we had so much fun

He was very proud of his work with

his church and God and we are very

proud of his accomplishments. He loved helping the homeless. James

was truly an inspiration I will miss him so much.

I will never forget the 242 Retreat in Fall of '03, when James and I parodied the weekend band Alathea in the Lack of Talent Show. We were AlatheO, and of course James took the spotlight as the lead singer. Needless to say, we won the contest and the real Alathea ladies loved us. I look forward to goofing off with him in Heaven.
