My condolences goes out to James family! I had the honor of teaching Justin in 1st grade and Jaylen in physical education at Advantage. What I would always remember is this tall, respectful, well mannered young man(James). Frequently peeking his head in through the door to check on his little brother (Justin). Always kind with a smile every time you see him, James was a special kid! His presence was felt! If you were having a rough day he tend to always bring a smile to your face! My heart goes out to his support system! Keioka, Jamie, grandmother, and his dad made sure they stayed on track! I will miss James and will forever keep you all in my prayers!
