I want you to know how fortunate I feel to have known James. I was his Math I teacher at HHS, and I realy enjoyed having him in my class. His smile was infectious, and his attitude was great. I feel very blessed that he was part of my world. Your family will continue to be in my prayers.

Richie, Anita I'm so so sorry over James passing. I have knowing Richie & Scott for at least 35+ yrs. and watched them grow into men, & when they had their children I sat back and was watching them grow into young men. My fondest memories of James was when Anita you would take him bike riding and he was in that little seat on the back. You could tell by the smile on his face he just loved it! He was so happy when he was on that bike with his mommy! Anita you spent ALL your free time with him. I also loved when he started walking (lol) he also loved being outdoors!! Anita you two was a hot number (lol) He was so happy when you was with him!! And that smile & red hair made him so adorable! I wish we could turn the clock back & wipe that horrible day away! I will deeply miss him coming home from school each day and seeing him out in the yard & swimming this yr. I will NEVER forget James as long as I live he was one SPECIAL young man. I was hoping to have MANY more memories of him but I know he is with GOD now because he is one of GOD'S CHILDREN & ANGEL!! Please don't think he is gone FOREVER because you will meet again!! May GOD give you & your family strength during these difficult days ahead. My love & prayer's are with you & the family and my heart hurts with you. 3 goes out to you & your family and I will keep you in my prayers

Mr. & Mrs. Christian please accept my most sincere condolences in the lost of your son. Though I have never met your son my granddaughter Gia Thomas was a classmate in JROTC and she was greatly sorrowed by his loss. She felt that they were not only classmates but friends. I understand from her that he was a great young man and his loss will be greatly felt. Please accept my families condolences and your family will be in our prayers.

I teach History at Huntington High School and had the pleasure of knowing James as one of my students. His quick wit and exceptional intelligence is only surpassed by his remarkable personality. He made our class and school better by being here at HHS and for that I'm grateful.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Christian, I'm a staff member at Huntington High. I didn't know James, but I have two girls, junior and senior at HHS. I can't even begin to imagine the grief you must be experiencing. I pray for you throughout the day and ask that God gives you peace that passes all understanding and that you experience His presence in a mighty way. I am so, so very sorry. Words are inadequate but know my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Joy

James I love and miss you dearly. All I can think about is your smile, love and laughter. Our memorable vacations,I remember us taking pictures sitting on the laptop painting Johnathan up like a clown, Sunday dinners at Gol-Gol's and playing in the yard. Richie, Anita and Corey I love you all and are not far from my thoughts. Don't lay a heavy burden on your heart because James is gone but keep a joyous smile because we had him.

James was a great kid! He will be missed by so many people. He was like an older brother to my son, Nathaniel. I think of how handsome James looked on Easter Sunday at Church and that will be a good memory that will always remain with my family. I can honestly say that James was part of a wonderful family. This family has a special place in my heart and they always will. My prayers and my thoughts are with the Christian Family during this tragic time. May God console them inside his Great, Powerful, and Big Hand! I love you all!

It's hard to know just what to say, When one so young is taken away. Far too soon he had to part, His memory forever engraved in our heart. We only knew him for a short while, But the life he led made us smile. He was so beautiful and oh so rare, Life as they say just isn't fair. Those gone before him will watch him with care, Till the day comes when we'll all join him there. Know James is watching from heaven above, And with each ray of sunshine, he's sending his love.
