Remembering James: A Call for Kindness

In Loving Memory of James Daniels

It is with broken hearts that we share the devastating loss of James Daniels, a kind and loving soul who touched the lives of so many. James passed away unexpectedly, leaving behind a family grieving his absence.

James was the kind of person who could light up a room when he walked in. He had a way of making people laugh and feel welcome.

James faced difficult battles with his mental health. He fought hard for many years to find peace, and to find a way through his struggles. His story is a reminder that mental health resources are vital and lacking in our area, and that the fight to save lives through awareness and support is ongoing.

We are asking for support to help James’ family cover the costs of his funeral and cremation. He is currently in Philadelphia and we don’t currently have the funds to get him home. The unexpected burden of these expenses has added to the weight of this unimaginable loss. Any contribution — no matter the size — will help give James the farewell he deserves and offer his family some relief in their grief.

We hope to honor James’ memory by continuing to spread his kindness and advocating for mental health awareness. If you or someone you know is struggling, please know that you are never alone and that help is out there.

Thank you for your love, support, and generosity during this incredibly difficult time. We will update as soon as we can with dates for a benefit dinner and the funeral.

With heartfelt gratitude,

James’ Family
