My thoughts and prayers go out to your family. It enjoyed getting to know you. I know you will be missed greatly.
James was loved by so many. He will be greatly missed. Praying for his family.
James and worked together at Yorozu. I consider him a good friend. We talked weekly since he moved back to east TN. I will miss him very much. He was such a goof-off so we shared a lot of laughs. I’m sorry I can’t make the memorial service due to being out of state. I offer my deepest condolences.

James you were a great person to be around. I pray for you and your family during this time. Your insight and friendship will be missed by many.
James, you were so much more than a cousin you were like a big brother to me. I miss you more than you will ever know or I could simply express in words. I love you and you will always live forever in my heart!
Miss you cousin James, and my prayers are with the family
I really enjoyed meeting you and working with you, even though it was for only a brief time. You are greatly missed by your co-workers here at Vifan. Our sincerest condolences and deepest sympathy go out to your family.
James became one of my best friends in the short time we knew each other, and we still communicated almost daily after he moved back to the Knoxville area. I will hold on to all the good times and laughs we shared, as we had some great ones. James you will be greatly missed and never forgotten.
I will miss you so much, and I know so many others will as well. Rest in peace, Chandler. You were a force to be reckoned with.
BJ, I am so sorry for the loss. If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know. I hope you and your family find peace in knowing James is with the Lord. You all are in my prayers.
Many prayers for your family in the great loss of a truly wonderful person!
There is not a day that I don’t think about you.
I miss you friend.
