We are so sorry for your loss. Jamie has always been a good friend and when u got through his quiet yet hard exterior, he wore his heart on his sleeve. A man of many talents and skills who would do anything for anyone was taken from us way too soon. Jamie, you were and always will be our best friend and a part of our family. We will always love and miss you. Love, your friends

I do not know James or his family but commend you for including the cause of death in his obituary. Unfortunately this is such a widespread problem I am sure many parents share your grief. We need to vigorously fight this epidemic starting in grade school. Thank you for your candor. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
