His vibrant spirit extended beyond his family bonds; he had an undeniable passion for music, using it as a medium to express himself and connect with others. James was the life of every gathering, spreading joy and laughter effortlessly. His magnetic personality had a way of making everyone around him feel uplifted and cherished, leaving an indelible mark on all who had the privilege of knowing him.

His signature phrases—“ya know,” “on god,” and “let’s pop out”—served as comforting reminders of his unique spirit, forever etched in our memories. Though his physical presence may be absent, his spirit lives on in the laughter, love, and cherished memories he left behind.

He will always be remembered as Uncle Jamesee.
