James G. Burns, Jr., was born July 20, 1980 to Garfield and Gloria Burns. He entered eternal rest June 6, 2024.
James was resident of Bridgeport, CT., he was a graduate of Central High School. He attended All State Tractor Trailer Training School where he received his CDL License. He also worked for Enviro's Darien Station, Niro Landscaping, RPS Auditing as well as many other jobs. He was recently self employed removing rubbish with his personal pick-up truck.
James was a very personal person with a small group of selective friends. He never ope3ned the door to his thoughts, pain or his heart; so no one ever knew what was on his mind. He would listen to everything you said and depending on the type of conversation he would respond and if there was a response it would be "yea" that was his favorite word "YEA"
He was humble, never talked about anyone bad or good regardless of who they were. He was always willing to take time out ot help anyone "friends, family and strangers.
He enjoyed fishing. His daily down time was playing Keno and scratching scratch tickets. He enjoyed going to grocery store especially for junk food. He loved his family and showed it with his presence instead of words. He loved his parents, but the love for his mom is defined in this quote. "Some things are infinite, but there's no bigger number, no farthest star, no end to their love for one another."
He is predeceased by his brothers, Michael and Delmar Eppes, grandfather Wyatt Eppes, uncle Junnie Wyatt Eppes, grandparents, James Sr. and Louis Burns. James leaves his ever lasting memories to father, James Burns, Sr., Mother, Gloria Burns, Grandmother, Ira J. Eppes and a host of uncles, aunts, nephews, nieces, and cousins.
