James Osborne Obituary

i still think of you every day. i still feel the impact of your compassion and wisdom. thanks for everything.

Jim, It's almost been a year and I miss you so much. I wish so much that I would have told you the extent of how wonderful you were. The impact you had on my life. I wish I had, had more time getting to know you. I wish I had the clarity at that time to tell you these things. You were the best person I have ever known and the best friend anyone could ask for. I pray that you are in a place where you experience infinite moments of joy and comfort and that all of our souls that ache for your loss will meet again with yours one day. May your memory be for a blessing.

I'm always gonna remember you, Jim. Though life was cruel and took you from us too soon, it can never take away all the good times I and everyone else had with you. Love you forever and always, Sammy

Jimmy... I would have given up absolutely everything to save you.

I cannot possibly express the sadness I feel with words. This is a great loss. I can hardly stand it. Jim, I don't think I ever expressed to you how much your friendship meant to me. I've never met anyone quite like you. You gave me faith in humanity. When I was lonely or sad I would think... at least I have Jim. I feel that even though you are gone, you've touched us all in a way that will live on through us. I am a better person for having known you. I love you bro and you will not be forgotten.

Jim,

I had the pleasure to be your friend for the past 14 years. We grew very close in high school and then drifted apart a couple years ago, however I always thought about you and you were always in the back of my mind. You had the biggest heart and would have given me the shirt off your back if you felt I needed it more. You loved to read and educate yourself every chance you had. You were the smartest person I ever met. We both shared good times and bad times from heartbreaks to laughter. I remember ghost hunting, swimming in your pool on Oakwood, riding bikes after school, hanging out at ozzfest and many other concerts, the countless nights we spent at jukebox billards, cruising in Joe's Camaro, and you calming me down after I crashed my mom's car in Chicago after she told me not to take it.

Well, Mr. Jim, I'm going to miss you buddy. Take care and I will see you in another place where Pabst Blue Ribbon flows like water...

jim or do i mean jimothy the only name i couldn't call you. this one really hurts friend. we will all remember the misfits shirts, the sunglasses and the wait i think i remember this. but i'll miss all the good times with you and johnny the most.

jim i mean Jimothy the only name i couldn't call you. were all going to miss you friend. the misfits shirt, the sunglasses, the wait i think i remember this, all the times me you and johnny shared will be missed buddy. can't even explain how this one hurts.

Jim was an amazing person and made my day every time I got to meet him. I knew him since 2000, It is a great tragedy that he is gone. I miss you Jim. No one ever gave a hug like you.

So very sorry to hear this. Please except my sincere and heartfelt sympathies. I remember Jim from Elliott School, and was lucky enough to see him grow into a wonderful young man.
God bless.

Closing Time, turn all of the lights off, time to finish your whiskey or beer. I'm going to miss dancing with you, Jimmy. Miss you forever.

The world is going to miss out on an incredible person, gunna miss you, Jim. I always admired how you would try and learn as much as possible from every person you spoke with. BEST HANDSHAKE EVER.

Jimmy! I don't think I will ever be able to go on another ghost hunting adventure without thinking that you're there with us. From now on, I'm going to hug everyone like you would have. I'm gonna miss you buddy.

jim ill never forget all the times we shared together and there will never be someone who gives hugs the way you did..from our many trips to haunted places to just going for walks in the woods i'm never gonna forget you...and whenever i see someone wear sun glasses at night ill think of you
