James Alexander Baugh Jr.

James Baugh Basketball Jr AKA Poopie. A son, a brother, a nephew, a grandson, boyfriend, and friend. There are SO many words that can be used to describe him, but here are a few that people who love him so thought fit…talented, goofy, loving, handsome, fast, scooter fanatic, basketball player, teammate, hardheaded, tough skinned, stinky, dirty, fearless, mischievous, adventurous, outgoing, intelligent, always up for a challenge, brave, tough, big hearted, true, sweet, athletic, different, and AMAZING.

This boy did not sit sill from the minute he knew he could get around himself at 6 months. Extremely talented in EVERYTHING he put his mind to, he had a basketball in his hand from the time he started walking. Any time he could get outside or to any type of hoop that is what he was doing. That was a passion that he shared with his father and continued being extremely passionate about for a long time. He played from about 4 years old all the way through high school and had a sick three pointer!! In his teenage years, his passion became scootering which again he SOARED in. My baby could fly through the air and always did things that made me hold my breath every time!!

He loved and idolized his father, but he was most definitely a Mommas boy. He was my hiking buddy. He would hike with me more than any of the other kids and get up early to do it too! He never ended a phone call without telling me he loved me. His sister was his baby and his brothers his best friend. I know you are happy and with your Daddy.

I love you to the moon and back. Thank my beautiful boy for keeping me on my toes from day one.
