There is not a day that I come to RCC and not think of my friend Leo. Like me he was forced back into returning to school after many years out of it. We both felt like we stood out being men of large stature and older than most of our classmates, but we did it! We both completed what we set out to d

All Is Well
Death is nothing at all,
I have only slipped into the next room
I am I and you are you
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.
Call me by my old familiar name,
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used
Put no difference in your tone,
Wear no forced air of solem

Well JJ! HAPPY BIRTHDAY :~) If what I see now is the reflection of what you were here to create, you were indeed, a very successful man. You left happy and strong children and a wife that will ALWAYS love you. They are a fun bunch and you are missed!

I attended North Moore High School with JJ, he was one of those people that was a friend to everyone regardless of what clothes you wore or group of friends you belonged to. JJ was a very sweet, kind & caring person. We lost contact after school and found each other on Facebook not too long ago. I was not fortunate enough to know his family, but my prayers are with you during this time..

I'm not the best with words but I wanted to say that I didn't know JJ all that well but I know his wife, daughter, stepson & father-in-law well. I love them like my own family. I was there when Ashleigh received the call about his accident...her familys lives changed forever. I will never forget that day. I'm feel blessed to call Ashleigh my friend. If you need me I'm here. Love Melissa

I never met JJ. He, by all appearances, was a well loved and respected family man. In his wife's photo album, he always seems very happy. His children love him. His wife adores him. His family are pleasant folks and this may have much to do with JJ being a great guy to be around. He is missed. God be with you JJ!

I never knew JJ well, but I did know of him from Hunter and Ashleigh. He was an intelligent, good-hearted man...a brilliant writer, I've been told. He could be the sweetest thing ever...And since we share a birthday, perhaps I can celebrate him as well as I celebrate myself. God bless him in Heaven, and everyone who was caught up in his passing.

Growing Up With J.J ...LOL

February 4, 2011

Jay and I were always in trouble ... But we had fun !! I've got lots of stories to tell but I don't ''Think '' I have enough room ..       When Jay was 4 and I was about 5 we lived in a apartment in Maryland  Jay lived upstairs and I lived downstairs.One morning Jay and I got into a huge fuss I can't remember what it was over but he called me a ''Bad Word'' Well of course I went to my mom and Aunt Bonnie and told on him because that's what we did ALL the time .. I think it was part of our family love ..he he .. So mom asked, What did he say? Well I tried to spell it .. BST.. Well Mom and Aunt Bonnie got a kick out of that well the whole family did to this very day we all call each other BST..Every time I hear BST said I always think of Jay .. To this day we still have no idea what he really called me but it must of been pretty bad for me and my 5 year old self to try to spell it .. :)

 Jay and I decided we could play with matches only if we didn't get caught because we knew everything we were the coolest kids on the block .. In our new town Carthage , NC (Well we thought...) For several days we had been burning little piles of leaves and bits of paper so we Totally had this under control Because we were cool like I said WELL ..Uncle Jr had gone fishing a few days before and left a fish on a stringer so Jay  and thought wow we can cook this fish and eat it ( GROSS) so we went to get the matches they kept in the kitchen man they didn't know how much we loved them laying those things around, it was no problem getting them If we could get by Grandma Ruby who was always in the kitchen.. Well Jay got by her and out the door he went so excited we could cook our fish that was still on the stringer that was about 3 days old so after playing with the  matches for a little while we decided to cook this fish ... Well the fire that we built approx 3 feet from our home was really getting up there so we went to look for water and lucky for us we found a tall jug of water under the shed where the Lawn mover was .. so I went fast to put this fire out. Well ... It was a jug of gas ...And Jay had to use the bathroom so I would put the fire out while he was gone . The flames got bigger as I poured the gas on the fire my eyelashes were gone and my hair was singed and Jay was in the bathroom all safe and sound ... I went inside because by this time the side of the house was getting A little HOT... I told Mom and the whole family ''Somebody" caught the house on fire so everyone went running outside.  They had to put the fire out and of course Jay was still in the bathroom I got 80 licks with the paddle that still hangs in my Grandmothers house with Jay and I's NAME all over it .. I was grounded for 3 months and I couldn't get off the couch.. Jay never got a whipping because he was in the bathroom(Lucky Dog).. but the whole 3 months I had to sit on the couch Jay was right there with me playing when my mom wasn't looking I always loved him for that because he could of went outside and left me there all alone but he didn't he was always there with me!!! Jay and I stayed close for years and years I used to hang out with him in school, people thought we were girlfriend and boyfriend. we would say nasty.. As we got older and got married and had kids of our own we grew apart but we never lost that family love and bond. No matter where we were we always let everyone know we were related. I am proud of the man that he became he was a good guy and a wonderful cousin,father and friend ...Miss Ya Cuz                                                                                                                          

In His Own Words....

Family,

I love you guys. I should be gone and back in no time. I miss you guys and would not be anything without you. I can't express into words my love for you all and if anything were to happen to you while I was gone I wouldn't ever forgive myself.

Ashleigh, you are the air I breath and the pulse in my heart, with every beat of our hearts you should know and remember I love you and can not go a day without knowing you are mine.

Hunter, you are the little man in charge and I look to you knowing that you will not let anything happen to our girls and I love you and wish I could have such a son. I know I am not your Dad, but I will do everything I can for you and to help you. Love ya.

Lauren, My Angel, my little girl. Just thinking of you brightens my day and makes me try a little harder, so that you can be the little princess we all know you are to be. I m proud to be your Dad and cannot remember a life, and loving without you all.

Love, JJ

J.J. was my cousin and he was always mean to me but always in a good way as yall know he was in the military and he would always call every one turd!!!  It was funny cause when he said turd everybody turned to him like he was talking to them.  J.J. was the most funny and outgoing person i think i have ever met he never let anything get him down and always had a smile on his face.  He new what he wanted and he went after it!!  I remember at my sixtenth birthday we had a slip-n-slide.  I tried and tried to get him to slide down it but he wouldnt well eventually we turned the grass to mud and i went down it cause he was trying to give me my birthday beatin so i got good and covered in that mud and i tell you he shot out of that yard and up the road before i could even get up.  haha it makes me laugh just thinking about it.. i chased him i know atleast a 1/2 mile up the road before i jsut gave up, but i tell you one thing he never got to give me my birthday beatin...  But ill tell you this i did eventually get him and it was great i think everybody rolled laughin.  I thought he was going to kill me..  haha  Well its not much but there is the one thing about J.J. that i will never forget.  He was a great man, friend, husband, cousin, brother, son, and father.  He will never be missed and will always leave a mark in everyones heart that he had the chance to meet!!!
