In Loving Memory of James Backus

Donation protected
It is with devastating heartbreak that we share the passing of James, a truly special young boy taken from us far too soon at just 14 years old. James was a beautiful soul and full of light. He loved his family deeply, cherished his friends, and had a passion for sports where he excelled! His energy, his smile, and his pure joy for the world around him touched everyone who knew him.

James’s family, who are some of the most loving, generous, and amazing people you could ever meet, are now facing the unimaginable. As they move through this painful and emotional time, we want to help lift even a small part of the burden they are carrying.

We’re coming together to honor someone who has made a lasting impact on all of our lives. In his name, we are preparing to do something truly meaningful something big enough to reflect the light, love, and strength he shared with everyone around him.

This fundraiser will help us build a tribute that isn’t just symbolic, but lasting. Whether it’s supporting a cause he cared deeply about, creating a space that carries his memory forward, or making a difference in the lives of others the way he always did, we want this to stand as a powerful reminder of who he was.

The funds will go directly to his family and help ease the financial burden on them during this difficult time as well as creating something extraordinary in his name.

If you are unable to donate, sharing this page or keeping the family in your thoughts and prayers is just as appreciated.

Thank you for surrounding this remarkable family with love, compassion, and support as we say goodbye to James, a boy who lived with so much heart and touched every life he encountered.

May his love and light continue to shine.
