Many nieces, nephews, cousins and one very special uncle, Burton Thompson and a “LARGE Bouquet” of cherished friends. James enjoyed many interests and pursued each and every one with his “whole heart”. His passion for life and his personal relationship with Jesus Christ would never allow him to accept anything less of himself. His outstanding integrity and character dictated how he chose to live his life. James had the ability and “GIFT” to be happy any where God chose to use him, and that gift drew others to him and we all benefited just by being around him. James preferred to be outdoors enjoying all the pleasures of God’s creation and showing appreciation for all He had entrusted to him. Fishing, hunting, camping, and working in his yard were just a few of the activities he was introduced to as a child, by his parents, grandparents and his entire family, always looking forward to every adventure as an opportunity to become “the man God created him to be”. His desire was to complete his life’s journey and hear God say - “Well done - thy good and faithful servant”.
