Jamie was " one of the Kids." He was such a nice little boy, always smiling. I remember when he was born and I walked down to see him when Bonnie brought him home from the hospital. He grew up with my kids and my nephew. I wish he could have been here longer but I know his story isn´t over. Prayers for his children and everyone who loved him.

There probably wasn´t a day that went by on Stubbs Rd that we didn´t see each other and if that was not enough we were all on the school bus together. Then sometimes we would meet up on the playground. We always had each other´s backs! It was a definite blessing growing up with the Zornes and Schuls

One of my favorite memories of Jamie was his explosive speed down the home stretch as the anchor in our highly successful 4x800 relay team at Edgewood in 1991. I sure hope his kids got to hear about some of those electric moments. He would reel in the competition like no one else could.

My loving brother. I will forever mourn you. I know Momma welcomed you home with open arms as Pops and Kim stood by beaming! I love you so much and my heart is shattered. YOU were my childhood. My memories. My happiness. My laughter. I love you little brother.
