A beautiful life,
far too brief
James was a loving brother, devoted son, and fiercely loyal friend whose presence left a lasting mark on everyone who knew him.
He was passionate about fly fishing and took great pride in his years as a wildland firefighter. Last year, he returned home to help his sisters run the family business, bringing with him the same dedication, courage, and heart he gave to everything he did.
From the time he was young, James had a natural curiosity and love for adventure. He was always tinkering, exploring, and dreaming. He lived passionately, loved deeply, and carried a soft heart beneath his adventurous spirit.
The love, laughter, and memories he gave will remain with his family and friends forever.
Memorial Fund
In lieu of flowers, those who are able and wish to contribute are invited to support the memorial fund being established by Jame’s sisters. The fund will honor James’s memory by supporting fly-fishing events for children and community members, as well as, motorcycle safety initiatives.
More details to come soon.
