James was also a loving son and took his role as big brother and protector very seriously to his younger brothers. James was the fun uncle whose niece and nephews enjoyed being in his presence. James worked at King Soopers for many years after graduating high school. James loved his music! If there was one thing that was constant in his life, it was his music. Once a set of drumsticks was placed in his hands for the first time, it was hard to get him to put them down. He was a proud percussionist during his elementary and middle school years. Later, James would become a big fan of jazz and many other types of music. James also loved technology and was quick to discover new ways to navigate many gadgets. He also had the talent of building things. At a young age, he took an interest in making many things including tables and jewelry and was recognized for his talent in 1989 during an art exhibit in Denver. James had an extremely generous spirit. If he had it, and you needed it, it was yours even if he went without. He always enjoyed spending time with his family and friends.
