He was such a storyteller, making you feel like you’re right there, part of his adventure.

James came home and spent his last few days doing what he loved; walking the desert, hunting, and being with friends and family.

The loss of our dad will no doubt leave a huge void on this earth and he takes a big part of our hearts with him. You’re truly one of a kind Dad. We love you so much.
