James is one of my wonderful nephews.
So many good memories with James over time and what stands out is what an absolutely great young man he is. He loved his family, his friends and his girlfriend. He was brave,he was super smart and very thoughtful and helpful to everyone that knew him.
He has a great sense of humor, loved making funny faces and voices. He was fun to be around. He was conscientious and took pride in his beliefs.
A fond and funny memory about James is Thanksgiving 2019 we always have game night with James, Alyssa and Jonathon after the the parents and grandparents go home after a great meal....
We were all laughing cutting up and having a great time...and James was wanting some coffee and we obliged. It was a coffee called Cafe de Olla...cinnamon flavored coffee. ..very good and so we are playing and he finishes off the first pot and then a second pot and as the night goes on he drank a third pot by himself....we mentioned to him your not gonna sleep much after three pots of coffee and James says coffee is good for you and very hydrating infact....and went on about how great the coffee was.....what was also memorable was that James Jonathan and Alyssa all brought something they made themselves to the dinner that day. James made homemade Mac and cheese...which was great....he was a man of many talents...he touched our lives in ways we never knew.
The most important thing in life are the people in our lives. James was so many things to so many people.
He is my nephew and loved him like he was my own son as I love my other nephew and nieces as if they were my kids too. James will forever be missed for who he was to me and what he meant to so many.
Love,
Uncle Dan
