James was a devoted father, a loving partner, and a loyal friend to so many. He spent his life working as a roofer, always providing for his family and showing up for those he cared about. James was a huge Raiders fan and brought so much joy and laughter to everyone around him. He and Andrea, his childhood sweetheart, shared 18 years together and built a beautiful life with their two sons, James and Ryder.

Both boys are on the Autism spectrum, and Andrea has dedicated herself full-time to learning how to best support and care for them. Raising children with special needs is a full-time job, and Andrea has poured her heart into being there for her family every day.

James always stepped up to help others anytime he could. His last selfless act was that he was an organ donor. Even in death, James will be giving life to people he never met.

With James’s sudden and unexpected passing, Andrea and the boys are now facing an incredibly difficult road ahead. They do not have the finances to pay for funeral services, and Andrea is left without a source of income to support her family in the coming months.

James was an amazing man and a great friend to everyone. Please consider making a contribution to help his family with his funeral expenses. Your support will help Andrea and her sons as they navigate this heartbreaking time and begin to rebuild their lives.
