well its been over a year now and its not getting easier like everyone said it would. 2/9/13 was one of the hardest days for me. going from talking to you just about everyday to no more is hard. not being able to just pop up and see you and see what mess me and you can make together is what I miss. I miss all the things we did together and the memories we made. you have one big heart and no one could take that. I love you very much unkey. you are very missed not just by me but by everyone. RIP always and foreverloved

James Trask was a spontaneous, outgoing, talented, hardworking man who loved his fiance, Dawn Powell and their daughter Amber. Today, Amber gave birth to a beautiful, healthy baby boy named Aiden. It's a a tragedy that he will never share the life experiences that would have brought much joy to Amber, Aiden and Dawn... not to mention many other family and friends. May he rest in peace and sleep with the angels.

"What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget"
