James was a member of Saint George's Episcopal Church. He was a member of Boy Scouts Troop 31, receiving the Order of the Arrow and earning the rank of Eagle Scout. James was employed in the catering department at Vanderbilt University, where he applied his love for cooking.

He was the gentlest of souls, who loved deeply and unconditionally. His love for all animals, especially dogs, speaks to his pureness of heart. Friends and family know of his goodness and gentle artistic nature and will miss so very deeply this beloved soul.
