James grew up with his sisters Carol, April and Sarah whom he loved and cherished. They were his rock and he was theirs. He attended Red Lake High School and ended up getting his GED before deciding to enroll in college. He was one semester away from graduating. James was employed at the Red Lake 7 Clans Casino for a period of time. He was a very funny, loving and caring man who loved his family so much. His love for his nieces and nephews was unconditional. He was the kind of person that people were drawn to and enjoyed being around. James was always there for his bros and for his family.

He has many "Bros" who are going to miss him so much
