James married Natasha Fladger on February 16, 2010. From their lovely union there were born three children Zanae,

Jehovah Witnesses, he enjoyed assisting as an attendant, AV operator, Watchtower reader as well as other duties at

weekly congregation meeting. He lovingly enjoyed associating with all the brothers and sisters within the Hazelwood

Congregation as well as with others in nearby congregations. He always looked forward to attending the annual Regional

Convention of Jehovah’s Witnesses and the opportunity for loving fellowship and good times with family and friends

will be no more (Revelations 21:3,4).
