James loved his family more than anything in this world. You could always find him hanging out with family or friends, playing with his nieces or nephews who he just absolutely adored. He was a mama’s boy and was there for her through the good times, the bad, the highs and the lows and his sisters’ protectors. James loved to be the funny man in the room and always wanted to make everyone laugh even when it was the worst of times, he was always there to try to lift everyone’s spirts. He was strong and always took things head on no matter what. He always wanted to see the good in people no matter who they were, he truly was a beautiful soul.
