James was a farmer all his life. He grew up on the farm helping his father then started his own. He got married had three children and later became a grand father of 4 grand children. He now has five. He never got to meet his first grandaughter.He had two brothers and 3 sisters. He had so many friends that loved him.He was always smiling and laughing. He was such a joy to be around. He will live on in our hearts forever.He was taken from us in a motorcycle wreck. He lived from May 26 untill June 30. He was just going to work one day and the woman in front of him missed her turn. She slammed her brakes on doing 40 miles an hour. James tryed to lay the bike down but didn't make it. She left the scene them came back.She was never charged with leaving the scene since she came back. A man that saw the wreck called for help and ran to James. If it hadn't been for him we may not have had him as long as we did after the wreck. He opened his eyes for one day after several surgeries. We got to see him and tell him how much we loved him then he went in to a coma and never came out.
