One of my favorite cousins! He always carried a smile. Even if his whole face wasnt smiling his eyes always were. In his younger years the family referred to him as Jamie and as a child learning names I called him "MyJame". I guess because whenever we went to visit when I was little he always made me feel like I was special like I was the only one that mattered. I think he made alot of people feel that way. I will always remember MyJame and love him dearly keeping the memory of one who loved life.

Condolences to the family.. I know he will be missed. He was a cousin I didn't get to see much, but I do remember him well. His dad and my dad were brothers, but we lived in different states so we didn't get to visit often. My prayers are with you all.
