I am so sorry to hear this news. I attended elementary school and high school with Jamie. He was always a big kind teddy bear of a person. He cared about others. I distinctly remember one occasion in elementary school where he stood up for me with a bully. Not many 12 year olds would do that. That is who Jamie was even at that young age. Sadly I lost touch with Jamie after high school but do remember running into him in a hockey arena about 15 years ago. While it sounded like he had had some bumps in his life, he had that ever present grin on his face and a positive attitude. While I have not had any recent contact, Jamie touched my life in a very positive way. I am certain that he had that same effect on everyone encountered in life. My only regret was not having an opportunity to tell him. His memory will continue to positively influence me.
