He was born on October 12, 1977, in Charleston.

Jamie attended Sissonville High School. He was proudly employed as a Union Carpenter for Carpenters Local 439.

He was a loving father, son, and friend. The simplest pleasures in life brought great joy to Jamie. He loved every minute he could spend with his family. Jamie never met a stranger and was always eager to lend a helping hand. His bright smile could light up a room and with his vibrant personality, he made friends wherever he went. Jamie lived life with a purpose and a passion, where he was constantly excited and inspired. Although he will be gone from our sight, he will never be gone from our hearts.
