I knew him a short time through work. He was an amazing person. He always put a smile on face no matter what kind of day I was having.

I have been trying for days to figure out what to say.  What is "right"?  What is "appropriate"?  Does a quote from a movie do it?  The lyrics of a song?  Nothing works.  So I'll write what I will remember most of Jim; his laugh.  Not the laugh as he was telling a story or a joke; the laugh he had when something caught him off guard, when someone made HIM laugh.  He would laugh and laugh until he had to get up and get his inhaler!  
There are no words to describe the boy with the black hair and green eyes that I met 18 years ago and who made such a big impact on my life.  So I won't try.
Your race is run; your marathon complete.  May your mind and body now rest in Peace.  
Always, Christine

I wanted to extend my deepest condolences to Jim's family.  It has been well over twenty years since I spoke to Jim, we met while working at McDonald's and went to prom together in 1988.  He holds a special place in my heart and I was so deeply saddened to hear the news.  He had such a great sense of humor and smile, I always loved being around him.  Jimbo, may you rest in peace. Sis

Deepest sympathies to jim's family ! I'm so Very sorry for you loss ! I only had recentally meet Jim and he was a Fine Beautiful Person and will be missed dearly ! Prayers and l

Please accept my deepest sympathies.  I attended school with Jim, worked with him at Giant for many years, and shared a close circle of friends.  He had so much charisma and wit about him that I will truly miss. That twinkle in his eye and his sense of humor are unforgettable! My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Those we love don't go away, they walk beside us every day.  
Unseen, unheard, but always near; still loved, still missed and very dear.

Every life ended is tragic but necessary, every survivor's pain is inevitable but no less sharp. I hope your pain is over, Jim. I was very fortunate to have known you. Despite twenty-one years of distance I thought of and talked about you often, and I always will. Goodbye.

I never drive down Millstream Dr. and not think of the Pritchett family. When we lived across the street as my children were growing up, Jimmy was always such a kind and helpful neighbor. So deeply sorry for your loss.

Life.....so fragile, Loss....so sudden, Heart....so broken,...in the wake of such a loss, we are haunted by things we don't, and may never understand. Yet the solace we seek may not come from answers. So we look for comfort in the belief of love's everlasting connection. May that love lift you and hold you close, and give you peace. Goodbye buddy!

I was blessed to have Jim as a dear friend for the past 25 years. A true friend full of love, jokes and always there for anyone in need. He is deeply missed by all those who had the pleasure of knowing him. Love and prayers always.

My deepest condolences to the family and friends of dear Jim.  Though I only knew him a short time, his presence was always one that brought a smile to my face.  Rest in peace friend....

I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge - myth is more potent than history - dreams are more powerful than facts - hope always triumphs over experience - laughter is the cure for grief - love is stronger than death. God speed kind sir. xoxoxo
