Tributes & Memories

Jamie, I was so sad to hear of your passing. I always felt like I understood you -- and you were always kind to me. I'm glad we got to spend some time together when your Grandmother passed just a few short years ago. I am sure you are with her now. Your sister's heart is broken and she loved you so much. My heart breaks for her. May you Rest in Peace my friend. You are surely in a better place. Your friend, Buffy

James and I were coworkers at Turpen & Associates. He was also so respectful of me and helpful. I loved his kind nature and laugh which made the warehouse a lot more fun. He dropped in to see me when I was having tests done and it was such a pleasant surprise and meant so much. I always appreciated him and he was one of my favorite people to work with and missed him when he left. Several at our work kept me updated on where he was but am sorry we never had seen each other for a while. Our journey on this earth is short but it is a blessing to share it with others that are fun and respectful. Until we meet again James, you are a precious memory to me.

I will always remember Jamie's sense of humor and contagious laugh. There were days that something he would say or do made class not so bad! My prayers and condolences to his family and friends. May there be peace and strength in your memories. RIP Jamie

My prayers go out to Jamie and his family. I grew up with Jamie and played baseball and football from kindergarten thru high school and always remembered his toughness and trade mark black framed glasses. We played hours of baseball each summer outside the Westide Baptist Church in Sapulpa in a much simpler time where riding bikes and sandlot baseball were the norm over video games and cell phones. He is definitely a huge part of my childhood memories and he will certainly be missed. God bless Jamie and all of his friends and family.

What really can I say, Jamie was my best friend in this world. We had some great times, he was up for anything. there was times we laughed so hard I almost passed out. people thougt he had a mean side but I know better , he had a soft heart most did not take the time to understand. I will think of him everyday for the rest of my life being that we almost spent everyday in our youth together. They don't make many like him anymore , i will miss his infectious laugh and crazy sense of humor. Rest in peace, Jamie, you know me, Staci,Tyler and Dylan loved you so much.
