James devoted his life to his family and friends. Many from the Tyler-Mayes family share cherished memories of Christmas celebrations at Jimmy and Millie's home. He loved R&B classics, driving his favourite cars, watching TV game shows and sports, and reaching out to those he cared about with a phone call or visit. He was known for his bright smile, hearty laugh, great sense of humour and warm, generous nature. He was skilled at instantly charming his way into your heart and making everyone feel special. He touched many lives and will be deeply missed.
