I have so many wonderful memories of Jamey, I don’t know where to start. We had great times together whether we went out somewhere or stayed in. Watching movies & football games, playing pool or chess, listening to music, sitting in his hot tub (sometimes too long!). He loved to converse and debate about anything and everything. We had some interesting and intense conversations - he was one of the most intelligent people I’ve ever known. We saw each other through some rough times, too. I’ll never forget the encouragement he gave me. He was always willing to help others despite his own struggles. I could go on and on with Jamey stories, but just one more. I don’t who else knows - he was a great dancer. He wouldn’t do it in public, but if we were hanging out at his house and a song came on that he liked, he’d get me up on my feet and we’d dance all around his little living room. It was so much fun, and also a wonder we didn’t fall over the furniture! I will miss you, my friend. I hope you’re dancing. My deepest condolences to all his family and friends.

May you rest easy my friend! My thoughts and prayers goes to the family.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
