James Thomas Bush, age 20, died suddenly on Wednesday, July 22, 2015 at St. John Hospital in Detroit, Michigan. He was born in Mount Clemens, Michigan on December 7, 1994 to Christina Reffle and Thomas Bush.James was an avid sports fan and football was his passion. He enjoyed the sport so much, he not only played on his high school football team, but served the important role of Team Captain. Along with the leadership he exuded in sports, family members say that he was an all-around great athlete. James graduated from Lake Shore High School, Class of 2013. From there, he began working for United Parcel Service (UPS) and also held a part time job at McLaren Macomb Hospital in the Food Services Department.When James wasn't working, you could find him hanging out with his friends,...quite often the same group of guys he went to school with since kindergarten; Ross Leadmon, Austin Bertges, JT Lee, Jacob Spiegel, and JacQuan Moore. James was a very likable person and had so many friends that there are simply too many to mention, but these five were like brothers to him. Two years ago, James' life was wonderfully changed when he met his girlfriend, Autumn. It wasn't always the "boys" he was hanging or chilling with,..it was the love of his life that captured his heart as well. One of their favorite past times to do together was watch movies. Another of his favorite things to do was cook. James could make a mean breakfast with his specialty being bacon and eggs. He also had a love for music, adventures, hunting, snowboarding, but most of all he loved riding his motorcycles. He owned a Honda Magna and a 750 GSXR, which were known as his babies.A loving son, grandson, brother, nephew, cousin and friend, his is a life gone far too soon from our presence. Yet, the memory of how he impacted the lives of those he touched along life's way will forever warm the hearts of the many who were blessed to know him. He will be immensely missed and forever cherished. James was the loving son of Christina Reffle, and Thomas (Alla) Bush.
