Lives Lost - Lives Shattered

I met Jamie in the summer of 1989 in a summer abroad German program. We were a closeknit group of about 25 students. I haven't spoken to him in over 15 years but I still clearly remember how good he was at German and his kindness and willingness to help anyone! What a sad day to lose such a incedible human being.

Jamie seems like such a likable person. My heart and prayers goes out to his family.

My prayers go out to his family and friends. Such a tragedy.

He sounds like such a wonderful and Christian person. My prayers go to his family and friends.

Because God is aware of everything and knows when it is time for each of us to be called home, He chose that particular day for Jamie. Our hearts are deeply saddened in Phoenix for you but we want you to know that our prayers are with you. Give God praise for the time you were able to have with Jamie and remember all the goodness he brought to not only you but his students and the world. My prayers are with you at this time.

Our thoughts and prayers go with you now and forever.

So sad to lose such a caring person. Even though I did not know Jamie I can only imagine that he was a wonderful guy. May God ease your pain and our prayers are with you and your family.

Celebrate the life of Jamie with Light, Love and Peace.

My prayers to you and ur family. May God give u strength during ur moment of pain and despair. I cannot imagine what you're going through but know that my heart and everyone else in America grieves with you. God Bless!

Sending our Love from the Mountains of North Carolina!

There are no words to leaven the pain of your loss and this tragedy. But the following is a humble offering that hopefully will bring some comfort, when you feel the sun shining again:

In the rising of the sun and in its going down, we remember them.

In the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter, we remember them.

In the opening of buds and in the warmth of summer, we remember them.

In the beginning of the year and when it ends, we remember them.

So long as we live they, too, shall live for they are now a part of us as we remember them.

EACH OF YOU LIKE AN ANGEL
WHO SUDDENLY LEFT US,
WE ARE SADDENED & EMPTY,
BUT NEED TO BE STRONG,
IT'S BEYOND UNDERSTANDING
WHY SUCH A NICE PERSONS
WOULD BE TAKEN FROM US
LIKE IT'S WIPED WITH A STORM.

WE WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER
YOUR STRIVE FOR SUCCESSES,
AND YOUR DREAMS,AND YOUR PROJECTS,
YOUR BIG GIVING HEARTS,
YOU WERE LOVED, AND FOREVER
WE THINK OF YOUR JOURNEY,
YOU WERE BRINGING US JOY
THAT WE NEVER FORGOT.

My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. i am so sorry for your loss.

Jamie, seems like very nice you man, that made such an impact on so many young lives.

May the knowledge that your life was filled with teaching others bring your loved ones peace during this difficult time. The world was a better place becaue of you and the influence you had on each of your students.

The world has lost a valuable person - and you have lost much of your world. My heart is so sad for you - and yours. And, for all of us - our world is diminished and we are much the worst for it. We must not let madness and cruelty win - somehow we must all find a way to go on.=Especially your family.

I watched the news as it replayed over,and over the same tragic scenes. Then a tribute came on about the teachers that were killed. Jamie's photo appeared with some of his photos and art work. I was in awe of his talent. It brought to light that he saw the world through his own unique lense. I shared his story with my daughter who is very interested in Photography.
It is a shame that so much media attention was given to the killer who took Jamie's life.
I just wanted the family to know that Jamies life, even in death has touched others.

I was at UGA at the same time and mourn the loss of the Hokies as well as a fellow Dawg..... I greive with you.... I did not know your loved one but, I weep for your loss. It is a loss to all of mankind; all of the wasted goodness and potential of all of these beautiful people has been stolen from us. The good however, lives on...

Please know that despite this, God is still good, he is really good and he will carry you now. "God weeps along with man"

In my own loss of a beloved friend a few years back, my dad told me that I had to try to find at least one good thing, one lesson from my loss in order to ensure the on-going legacy of my friend. It takes time but, there will come a moment when you will be able to carry and continue to share your loved one's smile!

I truly weep with you... as we all do- the workd weeps and prays with you

I want to offer my condolences to his family and friends. He sounds like the type of professor all students cherished. This is such a tragedy. I pray that his family find the strength to remain strong.

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to Jamie's wife and family, friends and students. What a tremendous loss.

It's a very sad state of affairs when teachers and students aren't safe in a campus classroom.

I am in San Francisco CA and I also grieve the loss of this remarkable person. May you find comfort through family/friends support and precious memories. Please do not be filled with hate but instead love like there is no tommorow. We don't know why such tragedies have to happen, but through such pain we need to create positive change. My faith has me believe that you will all be reunited someday. Please accept my prayers and love.

God Bless you in this time of sorrow...
