On Monday, November 9th, we lost James Bryant at the young age of 34. A little over a year ago he was diagnosed with adrenocortical carcinoma, a rare and aggressive cancer. He fought it with more courage, strength, and humor than most of us could imagine.

James had many titles, but the one he was proudest of was "Dad." His children, Norah (10) and Holden (5), were his whole world and he loved them dearly. He leaves them behind, along with his mom Kristan, his dad Jim, his brothers Jon & Jordan, his sister Julia, and a great many friends who loved him like family.

If you knew James, you know he showed up. He showed up for his kids, for his family, and for his friends, and often for people he barely knew. Even as cancer took his energy, his work and his health, he kept giving what little he had left. He helped people who were struggling, he looked out for others when he needed help himself, and he found ways to make the people around him laugh, even about his own diagnosis. That was James: generous, caring, funny, and always there.

Now it's our turn to show up for him, his family, and his kids.

This is in honor of James. It will help cover the cost of his funeral so they can grieve without that added burden. Every dollar left over will go to Norah and Holden, to support them through the milestones their dad should have been there for: birthdays, graduations, and every special moment still ahead.

In lieu of flowers, please show your support here if you can. If you can't, sharing this page with people who knew James means just as much or leave a note of support.

Thank you for honoring James by showing up for the people he loved most, just as he showed up for us.
