Our dad, James, has always been the heart of our family — a man who lit up every room with his smile, laughter, and stories. He’s a loving father, loyal friend, and someone who never hesitated to lend a hand or share a joke to make someone’s day a little brighter. As we face this difficult time, we’re choosing to focus on celebrating the joy and love he’s brought into our lives. Dad has lived a life full of laughter, family gatherings, backyard barbecues, and countless memories that we’ll carry forever. We’ve started this to help cover final expenses and give our dad the peaceful, dignified farewell he deserves. The funds will help with: • Funeral and memorial costs • Cremation expenses Our goal is to honor him the way he lived — surrounded by love, family, and community. If you knew our dad, you know how deeply he cared for everyone around him. Your support, whether through a donation, a message, or simply sharing this page, means the world to us. Let’s come together to celebrate a man who gave so much of himself to others. Thank you for helping us honor his memory with love, laughter, and gratitude. With love, Shonnie, Thaddius, Jay Dorrell, Damion
