Spending time with his daughter Hailey and wife Samantha.
Was home with his family
James and his brother Alexander used to watch Mash 4077 religiously.
James has always been a Chicago Bulls fan since he was 3.
On March 5th 2026 we lost two beautiful souls to a tragic car crash while on route to take his daughter Hailey and her friends to school. Tragically James was pronounced dead on the scene, and Hailey and friends were air lifted to Baptist hospital. Where Hailey was pronounced dead before reaching the hospital while the other still fought for their lives. James will be missed by many. He leaves behind his wife Samantha Holmes and his older brother Alexander Burdette. He is now in heaven watching down on us and will be forever missed.
We'll plant real trees for you in James's memory and display your contribution forever.
All condolences, notes and wishes in this book of memories.
