Jamie loved music of all types and especially loved playing his keyboard, which he was gifted with the ability to "play by ear". He also enjoyed swinging, camping and visiting with family and friends.
The family would like to express thanks to those individuals at Lynndale who have provided so much service, advocacy, and support to Jamie over the years. We would like to express appreciation to everyone at Aldersgate for their support during Jamie's recent hospitalization as well as continued prayers for Jamie and our family during his life. We would also like to thank everyone involved with the "Special Followers" Sunday School class at First Baptist Church of Augusta for providing the opportunity for Jamie to worship there and for all the special visits over the years.
