James was a very lovable and unique person who loved to make others laugh and smile with his outgoing attitude. He enjoyed spending time with his little cousins, friends, family and especially with his sisters and brother. He was a very fierce competitor and very determined at everything he did. He loved skateboarding, basketball, football, boxing, family outings, get-togethers, cook-outs and just chilling with his people in general. He loved to be independent, and took pride in earning his own money. He would take his earnings and spend it on his brother and sisters instead of himself. He was well known for clowning all of the time. James had a huge heart and was a protector, he would be there for anyone in their time of need. He loved babies and helping his elders. He had big dreams for himself, spoke of going into the service amongst other challenging feats. He was fearless. He will be missed by many. Greatly missed.
