Happy 50th Birthday to you Bubba! 

God only knows how much you are missed! Life is too short, so very very short. I wish more people truly realized that….. and how we are never promised tomorrow! Maybe then, people wouldn’t take so much for granted or take the people around them for granted either. Once someone is gone, it’s too late. Often times people don’t take that seriously, they simply ignore that fact or think our days aren’t numbered. 

It's just not the same with your presence missing in this chaotic world, but, I know you are at peace. Many times I wish I could just pick up the phone and talk to you, more times than not, if only you were still here. I miss The funny texts you would always send; they always brought a smile to my face. 

It's just not fair you're gone, and I still find myself reminiscing and sometimes forget that I can't just come over and see you. Your photo hangs with Love at Maria’s and every time I am there, it’s a reminder that although you are not physically there, you are in spirit. 

I don't think it will ever click 100% that you're not really here, life just keeps going, and we cope with the loss of you, remembering all of the good times shared with you. 

I love you! 💙

It's been 11 years since you left this world to be in a better place without pain and suffering.  All was left was the good times and love we share as a family with our son Erick. You will live forever in our hearts 💕 . 

I always remember you as the handsome and loving husband you were to me. Despite the bad moments we had together I only keep the good memories.  RIP my dear husband❤🙏🏻🌹. I will never forget you.

Today marks 11 years since you left us, yet everyday it feels as if you aren't really gone. I think of you everyday. That's nothing new. For what it meant to lose you, only those who loved you know. 

Remembering the good times with you is quite easy, I do it everyday. It's the reality and not understanding, that empty space in the heart left with no answers of losing you that will never go away. 

I pray you are resting peacefully and know how much you’re missed! 

I love you Bubba ♥️

My beloved Jim, it's been 10 years without you. We know that you are in a better place and we have faith that we would see you again. You will forever be in our hearts💕 RIP my love🙏🙏🙏🙏💞💞💐🌹

Bubba,

Today is the tenth year since you have been gone. Your life was a blessing, your memory a treasure. You are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure.

Our hearts still ache in sadness, and secret tears still flow, what it meant to lose you. 

I hope you are resting peacefully and you know you are truly missed and loved still to this day.

I love you Bubba!

Today marks 9 years since you left us, yet everyday it feels as if you aren't really gone. I think of you everyday. That's nothing new. For what it meant to lose you, only those who loved you know. 

Remembering the good times with you is quite easy, I do it everyday. It's the reality and not understanding, that empty space in the heart left with no answers of losing you that will never go away. 

I would give anything to have you back being a part of all the moments here with all of us! 

I hope you are resting in peace brother , flying with the Angels. You are truly, truly missed on this earth and you are dearly loved Bubba. 

Love your little sister Kort ❤️

Today, it's been 9 years since you left this world. I still think of you every day and wish I would have done more to understand you and help you. I wish you were here to see your son and now also your grandson grow. You are a grandpa now. You would be proud of your daughter as she became a beautiful and strong woman. There are many things we would like to share with you but we know you are resting in peace. We love you very much and you would always be alive in our hearts. Love you honey💕💕💕

For the longest time I've chosen not to write here. But I thought now is a good time. I want to apologize for how awful I was before you left us. I didn't mean what I said, I was upset and hurt by issues that I had held deep in my heart. I miss you everyday. I feel like things would be a lot different if you were here still. I'll be 23 soon and to think that much time has passed scares me.. But I've brought the most beautiful little boy into the world and not a day goes by that I don't wish you could meet him. I love you so much and I miss you. 

Happy 47th birthday honey 🎈🎉🎂!!! Time goes by so fast. I cannot believe it's been more than 8 years since you left. This year 2020 is being sad and lonely for all human beings and we miss our loved ones more and more. We definitely miss you and wish you were here with us. Erick and I would always love you and remember you. Rest in peace my love🙏💕💕💕

Happy 45th birthday my love😍🎈🎁🎂!!! Erick and I were thinking and talking about you all day.  They played our favorite song on the radio.  Erick likes that song too. He's an 80's music fan just like me. We miss you very much.   RIP my love🙏

Happy Birthday Son. You are so missed.
Love you Dad.

Happy 44th birthday honey! I hope you are resting in peace knowing that we all who love you think about you every day. We talk about you all the time and we remember the good times we share together. Your son is just like you in the inside and just like me on the outside. He reminds me so much of you. Mama and Papa always remember the kind and lovely son in-law they had in you. Hugs and kisses from all of us at home. I will always love you.

Today a day that will be forever with me. The sorrow is overwhelming, I cannot hug you and say I love you, I cannot hug you and say happy birthday. I have only memories of you my son to cherish until I see you again. I love you son.
This day you came into my life Happy Birthday Son.

I love you.
Dad.

Happy Birthday to you bubba! Thinking of you and I hope you are resting in peace. I miss you and think of you often, wish I could pick up the phone just to call and tell you I love you.

Hi Honey, yesterday we would have celebrated our 12 wedding anniversary. I like to say I still celebrate it in my heart. It comforts me to know that you left this world knowing that I love you and despite of all our problems I still wanted to have you by my side. God decided that you were going to be better off with Him and we all have to accept that even though it hurts so much. I have faith that I will see you again when the time comes and that makes the pain go away. I will forever love you. Rest in peace my love.

Yesterday was a rough day missing you in our lives. 
You are so missed.
Love you 
Dad.

Hey Big Brother,
It's almost midnight marking 5 years since you left us. I think about you often especially when I'm with Lorena. Took her ATV riding last weekend and she had a blast! She reminds me so much of you. She looks just like you and she's constantly making me proud to be her Aunt. Her excitement every time I pick her up reminds me of myself when you used to take me riding around town in the S10....music blasting.  Tomorrow is a big day for her as she has orientation for her first real job. I know you're proud of her, she's such a good girl. I see dad often. He's still my favorite and by far the wisest. I can go to him for anything and can't go a day without him. I know you miss us.  We all love and miss you too. Can't wait to see you at the resurrection. Love you so much.

I miss you so very much son. Dad loves you.

Today is four years since you left. I thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday, and days before that too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name and talk to you. All I have are memories and your picture in a frame. Your memory is my keepsake, with which I'll never part. God has you in his keeping and I hold you in my heart. Missing you Bubba, I love you.

Thinking of you Bubba. Not a day goes by that I don't think about you, and wish you were here to visit and talk to. Miss you

You're heavy in my thoughts today. I know you're listening. Please watch over me tomorrow. I miss you and wish you were here to stand by me. Love you Bubba

Thinking of you brother. I miss you. If only you were still here. I wish I could talk to you, wish you were still here. I know you're watching from up there, You are missed dearly.

I want you to come back.Happy birthday. I need you because I Love you Dad. I miss you the most i did'nt want you to die, I wanted you to live longer not shorter, but at least you are in heaven, have a good time in heaven.
<3 Your son, Erick A Graves :)

Happy 42nd birthday honey!!! I think about you every day. Today is a very special day for me because it is your bday. I hope you know how much I love you and miss you. Hugs and kisses. Love forever.
Maria Graves

Happy Birthday To you Bubba. We miss you and love you!!

I seen a picture of Daniel God he looked like you brought tears to my eyes. Another year son without your smiles, your presence in our lives. There is Nothing that takes the pain and loneliness of missing you away. 
On this day you entered this world, what a special day in a fathers life. I love you, I miss you, we all miss you son.
I love you.
Dad.

You're on my mind today heavily. Wish I could talk to you. I miss u brother.

Happy Father's Day to you Bubba! Love you

My son, what I would not give to be able to see your smile, hear your laughter, say I love you. A special day today, you are so loved and missed. 

I love you son
Dad.

Thinking of you brother. We went to Ericks Bday party this past weekend, he sure is growing up fast. You would be proud of him. He's a handsome little version of you and for sure has your personality. You would be proud of Maria too, she works hard and does all she can do each and every single day. I wish you were here to see and share all the life experiences and memories with them. I know you are looking down everyday and watching over us all but it will never be the same with without you. I hope you know how much We miss you!

It seems impossible that it has been three years since you left us.  I still hear the sound of your voice, your laughter and can see your beautiful smile.  You are missed so deeply and loved even more.  I love you Jimmy Lee!

Today marks three years since you have been gone. It still doesn't feel like you aren't here. I still find myself thinking I can text you or call you but when I go to your name in my phone I realize I can't. There is not a day that goes by that you are not thought of. Lately I have wished more then other times to be able to call you and talk to you about all the things going on in life and I know you of all people would relate and understand. Words won't ever express how much it sucks that you are gone. We miss you always and love you Bubba.

Thinking of you as always and missing you everyday.

One more year without you. I wish you could be here to see your son growing up. Yesterday he told me he wished you would be alive. He surely misses you as much as I do. We talk about you all the time. You definitely will be with us forever. Love you honey.

A new year Son know you are truly missed and life is not the same anymore without your presence.
If this some how reaches you you are so loved and missed son.

Love you son.

Dad.

Happy New Year Brother, we love and miss you!

I miss you!! My mind knows you are in a much nicer place then here, and you are in no pain and at peace. But my heart has yet to understand the loss of you. There will always be an empty space in my heart in the loss of you. It just never goes away. 
I know you hear me when I talk to you and I know you understand all the things that I have spoken, even though you are not here I know you hear me. I wish you were here to talk to. For some things we talked about you always understood or could relate to. I constantly look up to talk to you and only hope, what I wouldn't give to hear you talk back to me. 
Your picture is still hung and your cowboy hat is still perfect just the way u shaped it before u left here. I light your candles every night, and hope that you can see I haven't forgotten about you. 
The amount of tears I've cried,
is nothing compared to the pain inside.
The time I've missed you has gone so quick, time has passed and I'm still ticked, that you're up there and I'm down here, knowing there was nothing more i could do to keep you here. 
I miss you my big brother,
I miss you my friend.
Just sitting here in thought
and waiting for the day I see you again. 

Love you and I miss you bubba
Love Kort

Thinking of you bubba. Missing you everyday. I love you

Thinking of you as always. I saw a guy by the freeway today and he looked a lot like you. He was sitting on the ground with the sun on his face. It seemed he needed a lot of help. It hurt me just to think you could be in that situation and I wouldn't be able to help you. Sometimes I think you are still alive and that you are just hidding from me. I hope that wherever you are you know that you could always count on me. Love you forever.

Today your special day son. In a way as bad as it hurts son the meanness of this world no longer effects you. Hard to believe still your voice will not be heard.

I love you
Dad

Happy Birthday to you brother! You are missed dearly, more then you know. It's just not the same with your presence missing. Many things I wish I could just pick up the phone and talk to you about. I miss 
The funny texts you would always send; they always brought a smile to my face. It's just not fair you're gone, and I still find myself reminiscing and sometimes forget that I can't just come over and see you. I don't think it will ever click 100% that you're not really here. I hope you know how much you are loved and missed by us down here. If only we could hug you and talk to you one last time. 
I hope your birthday is blissful in heaven. I love you Bubba

Thinking of you Bubba. Wish you were here :(

Love you

In my thoughts Son. I love you and miss you.

Dad

Happy Fathers Day to you Bubba up above. We love you

Just sending you a message, thinking of you and missing you. I know you are watching over me, especially today on my way home. It brings me peace knowing even though you are not here, you are watching over me. I miss you bubba

Honey, 
It is hard to believe that 2 years have already passed since you left this world. However, the love I feel for you is still here in my heart, and it will always be there. No matter what, I will always remember you as the only man that I loved and the father of my son. Our house is full of our memories. I talk to Erick about you and we remember the things we used to do as a family. I know you are resting in peace my love.
Love you forever,
Maria

As any day, you are always on my mind. Missing you as always. Happy Easter Bubba. I love you

A day like No other son a day forever etched in my soul the day you left all those that loves you. 
Know Dad misses you.there are no words to express it cannot be done.

I love you
I miss you
Dad

It's been two years since you left us.  Words are hard to describe feelings, I have always been better with images. Yet writing down how much I miss you, Seems to give me more tranquility.

Writing to let go, to give this all a place. It will never heal, it will never go away. 

I can tell you how much I care, how much I would give to have you back here with us, But you know all of this and it won't change anything. 

Writing to tell you how much I have learned, to show you that through fragility I become a stronger person. Although I'm still bitter at the loss of you. 

Day by day I think of you, & ask myself how can all of this be true? I can't believe you're really gone, I still can't accept it, I refuse to, Even after so long.

So many things I never got to say, I never imagined this. You were My brother, And I loved you like no other. In my heart you'll always be, I pray You'll be my guide & help me see the right paths to choose in this crazy life. I miss your smile, your crazy graves temper. Mostly I miss our funny conversations, & your text making sure I'm ok. I miss your good advice & your hugs. I would take your place if I had a choice but life doesn't work like that. 

I pray that you are at rest, in peace, Although, without you our world sometimes seems like a mess. It's just not the same.

I miss you with all of my heart,
I wish you would have never left. I wear your memory proudly, my only brother, , my friend. I love you

Jimmy,
These days go by so fast - it is unbelievable that you have been gone for two years this Easter Sunday.  In my heart, you are still here and still grinning that impish smile of yours, trying to figure out which one of your sisters you are getting ready to tease or scold.  You are clearly a part of all of their lives and their big brother, will always be the one that they look up to, however now they have to look a whole lot further to find you.  I know that you are with us all and that you always will be - I miss you Jimmy Lee.
Sending my love way up high to you!

Thinking of you and missing you always. Love you bubba

I miss you son !!!!!!!  You are on my mind very heavily today . 

I love you 
Dad

It's Valentine's Day today and I wish you were here with us. I always keep in my heart the good times we had together as a couple and as a family. Love you today and forever.

Today I had a feeling you were watching over me on the way to work. Once again driving over the causeway, listening to 105.1 singing in the car and the radio station changes. I switched it back. Yet it again moments later it switches again. I told Maria somebody must have not liked my glaring music or my loud singing lol. I'd like to think it was you riding with me keeping me safe so early in morning. Idk if it was but I surely believe it was you. Missing you so much bubba :(

Almost another month into a new year Son without you with us, my  days are not the same son. 
Know dad loves you misses your presence here with us.
Love you Son.

Youve been in my thoughts lately bud. Im reminded constantly of the past and how much time has passed by. So much has changed. I cant believe the struggles we all endure and yet we still get up everyday and remember the good stuff. You my friend, were good stuff. Glad you were part of my life. Im glad others had that chance too. There will never be a day in our lives that doesnt include you. You'll always be around and part of everything and everyday. I hope they all remember that :-)

Honey, your sister, now my sister too :), was here last night with the boys to join us celebrate Mom's birthday. We had a great time and we, of course, remember you and talk about the good qualities you had as a cook, and how handsome you were. I was listening to the radio in the car this morning and some songs reminded me of you. Just wanted to tell you one more time that you will always live in our hearts and minds. Love you and miss you everyday.

Thinking of you brother. I Wish you were here. I miss our talks and the good times. I know u are at peace but as always, it's not the same down here without you. I love you brother

Son another Christmas without you here, Another year gone by I miss you so very much. You would have been proud of your sister, she made Christmas a very special time for all. We enjoyed Maria, Eric, mom and dad, but it was not the same son without you here. Know that I love you and miss you being with us. We all love you son and miss you more than words can express.

Merry Christmas Bubba. We miss you dearly! I hope your Christmas in heaven was as beautiful as today was. We love you!

Thinking of you always. Missing you more as the holidays are here. Hope you are resting in peace. I love you brother

I wish you were still here with us. There is not a day that I don't think about you. My Mom and I talk about you very often and remember the good times we all share as a family. There is only love in our hearts for you. I wish you could read this message but I know you are resting in peace right now. May Resurrection bring all us back together. That is my biggest hope. Love you forever.

Thinking of you and missing you always! Love you Bubba

Son Dad misses you. Today nothing but tears, I miss your voice, I miss your presence here with us. I know you are in a far better place,I may be selfish,but I wish I could just hold you and tell how much I love you.
I love you son

Thinking of you, so many things are still here to remind us of you. If heaven had a phone I'd be blowing it up just to hear u one last time. These messages mean allot but if only it were actually u we could say everything to. I miss u so much. God took u away too soon. I don't think it will ever be the same here with u gone, to wish u back would be selfish because you are free of pain, but I hope u know how much u truly are missed.

Sending prayers and warm thoughts to all of you today. He was blessed to have so many that loved him so much.

I talked to a dear friend of yours today son, We talked about the good old days and how much you are missed in our lives.
I know you know who I am talking about, I know you are watching over us.I love you son and there is no words to express the empty place in my heart and soul.

Love you Son
Dad.

Thinking of you today and missing you as always! Wish you were here :(

It touches my heart to see how much your family loves you. I know that gust of wind yesterday was you blowing out your candles. :) Missing you still and always Jimmy. We will see you soon.

GOD I miss you SON !!!!!!!!!! The tears fall like rain in a storm, my heart aches to hear your voice.
HAPPY BITHRDAY MY SON !!!!!!!!!!

Happy 40th B-day mi amor! Today, August 15th you would've turned 40 and we would've had a great celebration at home. Even though you are not here with us to celebrate, this day we will remember you and celebrate for you. I know you are just resting and waiting for our Creator to remember you when the time comes. I am doing my best to have the privilege to see you again in resurrection. That's my hope. You will be in my mind and in my heart today more than ever. I will always love you and cherish the good moments we had together. Rest in peace honey!

Happy 40th Bday to you Bubba!! We miss you and love you!

Miss you dearly Bubba. I wish u were here. Your presence is missed dearly. More then you know. Hope you are resting in peace.

I was driving to work today and crossed over the cosway. Every time I go through that area you are on my mind heavily. Although I think about you everyday. Erick is growing up so fast! You would be so very proud of him! He def has your graves attitude! Your wife is amongst some of the strongest of women I have ever met! She continues to get up everyday, working hard and teaching Erick as much as she can. She truly is an amazing person, you def picked a good lady! We miss you dearly, and the hurt never goes away nor does the disbelief of your presence missing. Love you Bubba!!

15 years ago today your baby girl was born. I will never forget the tears of joy I saw come streaming down your face.  I remind her all the time how much you love her. Rest in peace We all love you and miss you so much.

I Hope my son you are at peace, and know those that love you miss your presence in this life. 

I love you son
Dad.

Kortnee Williams you are more then welcome to contact me.

I wish we could be as close as we were when this picture was taken in 2004, the year that I met you. I still remember when we took the weekend off to go to the casinos and have some fun. We were very similar when it came to having fun. Going to the casinos, to a restaurant or just watching a movie at home. We had so many good moments together, we loved each other so much. It was a difficult day for me yesterday, as one year of your death passed, because I knew I would start remembering the last days of your life. Losing you like that was the worst thing that could ever happened to the ones who loved you as much as I did and do. However, the good moments are the ones that always come to my mind every day as I am driving to work, after dropping our son at school. I just want to tell you that we will be together one day and I hope you still remember me. You were my first love and the love I feel for you will never, ever go away. Miss you honey!

Today marks the date you have been gone a year and taken from us. A candle lit for you and always remembering the good hearted man you were in your heart. You are truly missed and will forever be missed everyday that goes by. We love you Bubba

This month will mark a year that your presence has been gone from this earth. Everyday that passes, although you are not here, we know you are watching down upon us. The void never goes away. You just have to learn to cope. I don't think that the void of you not being here will ever really come to reality. I miss your calls, I miss our visits and the boys riding in their hot wheel trucks in front of the house. I miss your advice, and your text making sure that I am okay. If only we could turn back time. I know that you are up there, and I know you are not in pain, which makes my heart at ease that you are not suffering, but it doesn't make me miss you any less. It makes me miss you even more, as I'm sure many others do too. On your day you left us, this month being a year, look for our special floating messages in the sky on that day. I miss you Bubba and love you!

May I ask who Dawn is? This is Jimmy's sister.

Been thinking of you all week. Saying prayers for you and your loved ones. Can't wait till we can all see you again Jimmy. Love always.

I light this candle for you and for the love that will always remain in my heart for you. We had many good times and bad times in our marriage. The good ones are the ones that remain in my memory and for that I am grateful to God. I know one day we will be together again. Miss you every day. Love forever. Maria.

Son there is not a day gone by that I don't Miss you, you are a constant in my thoughts, heart,and soul. 
I miss you son.I love you more than words can ever express.
Dad.

I remember seeing you at that lube shop down on arden one day. I can't believe that was the last time I was gonna see you. I had not seen you in so long since then and I remember back when we had our moment in history. I wish things would have worked out differently for us. I miss you babe. I am sorry I didnt get a chance to say goodbye. I am sorry you had such a hard time in this world, maybe the next one will treat you better. Love with all my heart.

I miss you dearly Bubba! I hope you are in peace

You are always in my thoughts. It is hard to realize that you won't come back home. I miss you mi amor. I hope you like it up there in Heaven.

Jimmy Lee you are now in a most beautiful place may God wrap you in his arms free from pain may you become the Guardian Angel for your loved ones as you watch over them may they find peace in their hearts RIP

Hard to beleive we lost one of the best rc helicopter pilots in california,the little moment's we spent together playing with rc toy's was nothing but lot's of fun,you'll really going to be missed,RIP my friend.
