Aunt Bonnie I am so sorry for your loss… Sending prays for peace and comfort during this trying time….
My first meeting without your presence was very difficult. I shared this with the team this morning, I will miss you forever, James. Sending love and prayers to your family. Rest In Peace.
I have been dreading coming to this meeting for some time now, and not because of the amount of issues we have to discuss, but because of the absence of a wonderful friend and colleague. I would like to take a moment to remember him. We all know this is not easy, for I am having a really tough time. You never really think about dealing with this, until you have to deal with it. In the past, we most likely would have come together as a team and shared stories and cried together, things are a little different virtually, and while I understand this is the new normal, I will never be able to mourn alone, I have been thinking about what am I going to do without James, but I really want to let all of you know how sorry I am for your loss. James was a very special man, with a special laugh and a special way about him. I thought about writing an ode but I couldn’t stop crying long enough to find the words to rhyme. A few weeks ago I reached out to James out of concern. I knew he doesn’t vacation, because he was always making fun of me for going on all mine. I told him time and time again he needed a break, and I would give him ideas on where to go, he always just took more issues on instead like a mad scientist, his was one of the only green lights we saw on teams all hours of the day all days of the week. So when I heard he was out for a prolonged vacation It didn’t sit well with me. I did get to talk to him, and he told me he had been sick but was counting his lucky stars and that he prayed for another chance and told the big guy upstairs that he was going to do everything in his power to repay him, And then like true James shrugged it off like nothing else was wrong and was more interested in my daily life. I wish I asked him more questions because that was the last time I spoke to him. I kept messaging him and they went unanswered. James and were close but we got very close over the last few years since everyone that we knew in AP either retired or quit. When we were working OFAC on the weekends my laptop would be at the center of the dinner table with all the kids and crazy family entertaining him while we tried to work. He loved it. His laugh was infectious and his dedication to an issue was real. So real, that every thought of his came in a separate email, without an issue number or the wrong issue number but he just needed to put down what he was thinking. Drove some of us crazy, but now I will cherish those crazy emails forever. Some of you might remember when we were back at 101 ERD he bought that stupid bean bag chair that he said was the best thing since sliced bread… by the time we got to 55 Farmington the beans were all gone and he was practically laying on the ground coding shit. I would laugh and make fun of him every time I walked by, but it’s funny ever since he passed all I do is get ads about buying a damn luv sack. James was a quiet man with beautiful intentions, and he never wanted anyone to worry about him, and he always was able to take my frustrations and make them positive. He overcame a lot of health issues at such a young age, but to hear him speak and to hear his philosophies you would never know the pain he endured here on earth. James, I hope you are at eternal peace please allow me to share this prayer.
Be with us in our sadness for the death of James. May his family know and be comforted by your loving presence and give to us all the faith and hope to believe that James has now returned home to you, the source of our joy, our peace and our life. Amen.
Brother James, you are so missed! Your banter, your zingers, just about everything! Praying you’re pain-free and at peace!
Deepest condolences to the family! May you all find peace in the comfort of your memories together!
I am so sorry for your loss. James was a good person, kind, considerate and had a beautiful heart. He was my friend, my comrade, my confidant. We shared many good times, laughs, and conversations. I will miss his unique swagger, his smile and laugh, him jumping in to help, our working together to solve a problem, our Monday Morning Prose, and so much more. I am blessed to have known him.
Dear Deloris and family,
I hope this message finds you surrounded by love and support during this difficult time. I wanted to express my deepest condolences on the passing of James.
As James’s supervisor, I had the privilege of witnessing firsthand the incredible impact he had on our team. Not only was he a phenomenal PeopleSoft developer, but he was also a true ambassador for camaraderie and a beacon of positivity. He approached every challenge with enthusiasm and a willingness to lend a helping hand, embodying the spirit of teamwork and selflessness.
Beyond his exceptional skills in the world of programming, what touched me was his unwavering dedication to fostering a welcoming and friendly environment, he was not only a colleague but also a close friend to all.
It’s heartbreaking to say goodbye to someone who left us far too soon, especially someone as cherished as James. While we mourn his loss deeply, let us also celebrate the remarkable life he lived and the countless ways he touched our hearts.
During this time of grief, please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you, James’s family, and all who were fortunate enough to have known him. May his memory bring you comfort and strength in the days ahead.
With my heartfelt sympathy,
Adam

Hello Brewer family. I send my deepest condolences to your family. We are all heartbroken here. I was a co-worker of James for many years at the State of Connecticut. I loved working with James and got to know him very well. He was such a selfless, kind, and wonderful man. He was always so positive and caring and just made you feel good. He would jump thought hops to help you if he could. His loss for us is big from a knowledge level but massive from a personal one. I’m sorry your family is going through this. I hope you find some piece in knowing he made the world a better place.
