<div>Jamie Raymer, my twin flame and partner in all things, left this world on August 7, 2025, at the age of 47, surrounded by the love he gave so freely. We married in April 2017 and built a life filled with laughter, shared dreams, and a love that changed us both. Jamie was my anchor and safe place, always steadying my heart with a single look.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Family was the heartbeat of Jamie’s life. He poured his soul into being a father, cherishing his stepdaughter Isabella Noah and joyfully raising our children, Emelia Raymer and Theron Raymer. Snuggles and hugs were a language between him and Theron, and Emelia flourished under his gentle encouragement. Isabella found comfort in the steadfastness of our home. Jamie also carried the tender memory of our first baby, whose life ended in utero. His circle of love was wide—children, friends, and extended family. He was a devoted husband, proud father, and soulful friend to all who knew him.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In July 2025, Jamie was hospitalized for nearly three weeks after what began as a respiratory infection revealed a blocked heart, severe GI tract ulcers, kidney failure, liver dysfunction, an inflamed gallbladder, and a blood infection. He endured heart surgery, intubation, and required both ECMO and Impella support, and so much more. Despite every effort from his medical army, Jamie’s body could not recover. During this time, our children stayed with grandparents, longing for the comfort of home, while I traveled daily to be by Jamie’s side, as he asked for my presence, love, and support, and to care for our children and farm animals.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We were growing our business, Sweet Be's Farm &amp; Design, which combined urban farm life with a love for geology/gems/minerals and the creativeness of macrame. Jamie’s passing has deeply affected our ability to continue building this dream and provide for our family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Jamie’s sudden passing has left our family facing urgent needs.</strong> We are raising funds to help cover medical bills, funeral costs, and living expenses for myself, Isabella, Emelia, and Theron. <strong>Support will help us keep our family together and provide stability for the children as we navigate this difficult time.</strong> Jamie’s love was a constant light—warm, steady, and infinite. Though he has stepped beyond this life, his love will live on in all who were blessed to know him.

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>James “Jamie” Raymer passed away peacefully on August 7, 2025, surrounded by his loving family. He was 47 years old. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Born in Charlotte, North Carolina, on November 23, 1977, Jamie is survived by his wife, Bethany Raymer and children: Emelia, Theron, and Isabella (Olive) in Kannapolis; mother, Sandra Brown, Little River, SC; sister Erin Noah (Fred), nieces Katie and Samantha, Mooresville, NC; Father, James B Raymer Jr. (Marie), Charlotte, brother, David Michael (Michael) Raymer (Margaret) Raleigh. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Jamie was preceded in death by his grandparents Dr. James B Raymer Sr and Opal Raymer, and uncle Robert Raymer, Charlotte.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Jamie was a man defined by love—for his family, friends, and the simple joys of life. He was present and attentive, a steady and reliable source of comfort. His humor brought light to dark days, and his kindness left a lasting impact on all who knew him.
</div>
<div>Jamie grew up in a close-knit extended family where family gatherings where cherished traditions.  
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Jamie and his sister, Erin Noah, always had a special bond marked by lighthearted teasing and playful banter. Jamie embraced his role as uncle with love and enthusiasm, cherishing every moment watching Katie and Samantha grow up.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Jamie was loved and supported by his stepmother, Marie Raymer, and his brother David Michael Raymer who affectionately called him JJ. The brothers bonded over various sports, gaming (Mario) and NASCAR. Together with his wife, Margaret Raymer, were supportive through life's challenges, everyday joys and milestones.  
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As an enthusiast of RC cars and racing, Jamie loved the thrill of speed and competition. He was a fan of football and was excited to explore his artistic side through spray paint art.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On April 29, 2017, Jamie married Bethany Raymer. Their union was more than a marriage—it was a profound soul connection, marked by unwavering love and deep commitment. Jamie became a devoted stepfather to Olive Noah, offering her gentle guidance and support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Jamie held onto hope that their family’s story was still unfolding. Though met with the loss of a baby in utero, he quickly welcomed his daughter, Emelia Raymer. He poured gentle wisdom and playful affection into her and then found boundless joy in the hugs and snuggles of his son, Theron Raymer, cherishing every moment of fatherhood. He kissed his children’s heads daily—a quiet testament to the blessings they were in his life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Together with his family, Jamie helped build Sweet BE’s Design, a business rooted in nature, spirit, and creativity. This endeavor reflected his craftsmanship, attention to detail, and appreciation for the beauty in the world around him.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A celebration of Jamie’s life will be held, followed by a reception for friends and family to share stories and honor his legacy.
