Rest In Peace my friend.

I felt compelled to write this because he deserves as much acknowledgement and respect as we can give.

I knew him since around the publication of my third story where he not only helped me but encouraged on to keep honing and practising my skills as a writer. We also talked frequently on discord where he also encouraged me to excel or improve other aspects of my creativity. I wasn't as close to him as some others I think, which only fills me with the regret we didn't talk even more than we did. I cannot imagine what his family is going through, having such a positive and wholesome person taken from them. It's for that reason I cannot summon the correct words to properly describe his value to not just me, but everyone he had ever come to known. I'm not capable of doing something so important, so colossal in meaning and weight.

So thank you, James. Thank you for everything you've done not just for me, but everyone who had ever known you. My prayers go out to his family and his girlfriend. He will be missed, not only by me but everyone who ever had the privilege of knowing such a fantastic human being.

Rest in Peace, James.
