Jamie McCormick

1974 - 2009

Last September, Jamie was one of four men lost at sea during a tragic accident involving a storm of hurricane strength. Search efforts were conducted for 6 months following with only minimal debris recovered from the boat. Sadly, no remains were located.

A memorial service will take place on his birthday, Friday, Aug. 7, 2009, starting at Northstar Church at 7 p.m., Pastor Marty Martin officiating. Followed with a Celebration of Life at the Frank Nelson Community Building from 8-10 p.m. All are invited to come as you are and join us in remembering this unforgettable guy.

He married his high school sweetheart, Karrie Cameron, in 1996. In 2001, they had a beautiful daughter, Madie. He was a Merchant Marine and worked as a marine engineer.
