Jamie was an extremely intelligent and absolute life of the party type of fellow. He was unique, witty, charming and a good person. He was my neighbor for a few years in Florida. I felt joy when we would come over for a visit. Our conversations were candid and we never had to worry about what the other person meant when we spoke. He was definitely different but in a good way. He left us all too soon. I will forever miss him and pray for all of the people whose life he impacted. RIP Dear friend!!!!

You were a light in this world. You always had a way with words, and truly had the heart of a saint. I am forever grateful, the universe brought our paths together.
For once, I don't have words for the impact you had in my life. I will see you soon, thank you for all the signs lately. I know, Charlie ran right up too you as you joined him. He was waiting patiently for you to come. I love you my friend, and I'll never forget you. ❤

Jaime & I grew up in Parkwood Manor and both went to school at Decatur where we first met in kindergarten or 1st grade, I believe. We all use to play up at Junod Playground & go swimming at the pool together. Everyone had their seperate group of close friends but we still all grew up together and kept in touch over the years chatting thru FB. Last summer we spoke about my husband doing some work for him on his home out in FL. So sad to hear of his passing way too young! Sending much prayers to his family... RIP Jaime
