Jimmy was meticulous, well versed/spoken and hard working. He could fix/build just about anything, loved to cook and entertain for others. He liked to play volleyball, ride bicycles and throw horseshoes. James befriended many and wasn't judgmental. Always doing everything in his power to help people; even opened his home to many over the years. James was intelligent, passionate, romantic, protective and a real sweet talker. Above all he loved his family and friends became a part of his family. James was very proud to be the daddy of a well behaved, intelligent, young lady. James enriched the lives of all who knew him and he will be greatly missed.


Nothing Stays the Same
Like the tide washes your sand castles into the sea,
Just as the night turns into a new day.
How the sun fades darkened in a dream,
The way a seed grows into a mighty adult,
And in how you can never go home again…
Nothing stays the same.
