Jamie was a wonderful man and dad. Living across the street from Roy, Patti, and Jamie we watched the relationship he had with his parents. Roy taught Jamie and Jamie was eager to learn. A few years ago our driveway conversations were about his pride and joy, his truck. He buffed it, added all the bells and whistles, and took it to car shows. In those years all Jamie talked about was cars, fixing stuff, riding ATV's, and his dad and mom. Those were his loves. All that changed, well most of it. He met a girl, fell in love and then had a beautiful little girl, Aubrie. There was no more talk of trucks, the driveway conversations were about her first step, words, and how lucky he was. He would show her off with a pride, especially at Halloween. She was always his Princess. The love he had for her was so evident. But he had great role models. Patti and Roy showed Jamie every day how much they loved him. From the driveway we could see and hear this. When he left, we always heard bye mom, "I love you," and "see ya dad." Dar and I (Sue) are grateful that we have known Jamie. We also feel grateful to have had Roy, Patti, and Jamie for neighbors. We did not know Christina well, but we know if Jamie fell in love with her, she is good people. No one can feel the loss of Jamie as much as Roy, Patti, Christina, or Aubrie, but know that we share in your grief and loss. He was a good man and each of you should know that you had a part in shaping him. Good men do count! Sue Boyd and Darlene Goff
