In Loving Memory
Jamie DeedsPortsmouth, Virginia Parents: Siblings: |
Jamie was my brother, my friend. He fought the great fight and ended up in a better place. He lived fiercely and fearlessly. He was caught up in a world of drugs and alcohol. One night was all it took. He was drinking and took pain pills to try and get some sleep....the next morning he was gone...leaving behind many broken hearts. He was a fun loving, intelligent guy who wanted peace and excitement in his life. A part of me has died that day and I will never forget who he was and what he means to me. Jamie, your spirit will live on forever and ever in the hearts of your friends and family. PLEASE ....we have to raise awareness to people who don't know the harm of drugs and alcohol. Do your part..in memory of those we have lost.

The hurt and grief still remains in my heart. I miss you so much. |
I miss you so much. |
Missing you so much. You were a great person with a beautiful mind and soul. Wish you were here. Ethan James is almost 4 years old. You would have been the greatest uncle. Kids were drawn to you. He is handsome and funny. I wish you would have lived to see the amazing opportunities to experience life and love. Why can't you be here? My heart continues to ache after all these years. you were an amazing person with a loving heart and a great personality that is missed yet remembered every day. |
I literally found out this late. I only hung with Jamie a few times as he didn't really like me but we got along. So sorry to hear the news. All of my friends are dead from drugs. I can name a few but I won't and we all knew each other and partied together. I'm writing this because I can't believe I'm still alive with all the stupid stuff we all did. My thoughts are with you and ur family. As we have families of our own now. |
Six years ago today, you left us. A part of me is gone. Missing you, wishing I could call you, hear your laugh, see your smile. Miss you so much. Forever, I feel your presence and lean on the understanding that God chooses our path for a reason. I love and miss you always. Love, your little sister. Xo |
Missing you so much today. My heart hurts wishing you were here. :'( |
Jamie, many many blessings to you and those who love you. You are never alone. |
Missing you so much. Ethan James is now almost 2 years old. You would have made an amazing uncle. I wish you were here. You are always in my thoughts and forever in my heart. I love you. It still feels like yesterday you were called home. Rest in His arms forever. Xoxo |
Many many blessings to you and your family, Jamie. You are never alone. |
I know you already know my son, Jeremy's birthday is today ~ he would have been 32 years old. Please be sure to have a great time celebrating today and show you mom you are okay ~ maybe you can visit her in her dreams to ease her pain. It will help her a lot today. Peace and Love, Margie |
Missing you today on Thanksgiving. I will never forget your last Thanksgiving prayer. I Know your looking down on us shedding tears of regret. We would do anything to have you here with us. Holidays will alway bring out the hole in my heart. Xoxo- your sister. |
Wishing my brother was here to celebrate the holidays and the upcoming birth of baby Ethan. One thing is for sure, Ethan will know his uncle Jamie. Our guardian angel. Barely believe it's been 4 yrs since he left us. Ethan James, your uncle Jamie loves you and as your growing inside I know the pieces of my heart that reflect his absence will instill the strength to make you the man that will overcome the storms of lifes decisions. You will learn from incle Jamie's mistakes and he will become as much a part of your heart as he is mine. We miss you. ♥ ♥

I grew up with Jamie thru elementary/middle school and even high school. I send my regards to his family and so sorry to hear about this so late. Was a good friend and great guy. I grew up hanging out with him thru the school years with Chudi as well. |
Jamie, you left this earth on my son, Jeremy's birthday. Today would have been his 30th birthday here, but now he celebrates this and all his birthdays with you in heaven. I hope he is there with you, joking and laughing and dancing in celebration of his new found friendship in you. Please take care of each other until your mom and I can join you. I know how your mother is suffering and I know that you probably would be here telling her, just as Jeremy would be telling me, to stop that moping around and suffering ~ but it's a mom thing. Please let her know in some small way that you are all right. If you are listening, please also give Jeremy hugs for me. Hugs ~ Jeremy's mom, Margie |
Your photo appears right above my son Dustins'. Even though I've never met your loving famuky I am sharing their same pain and my heart goes out to them. I wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas in Heaven where I believe you and all the victims of accidental drug overdose are watching over their family and friends during this holy season and everyday. May your family know that their pain is shared and therefore divided. May You Rest In Peace ubtil the day you wull be reunited with your loved ones. With empathy Dustuns' Mom Nancy DeMarco |
It's a shame that we all grow up believing life is a fairy tale. It's this crazy unpredictable unknown path that we follow..that is never quite what we expect. Life is not perfect..it's a mess of events that we try to make sense of. We grow up as children believing that life is a sequence of joyful events that happen in a timely organized manner. A girl grows up dreaming aout the perfect life, a wedding, a husband, kids, the things that she believes naturally fall into one's lap. Unfortunately and eventually the truth arrives like a theif in the night..and there's ...death, money, debt, lonliness, sorrow, regret, obligation, and just plain reality. People die off, money dwindles, time slips away, and hearts realisticly never heal (like people so often promise.) Through the darkness of my brothers death I have seen ..the truth. That sometimes life will leave you not wanting to wake up. However, through the pain I realize we have no choice but to live on.
We are taught to believe in heaven. This place people all hope to go. But what if when it's all over...in stead we just ..plain and simple..are gone. Left to live on in the hearts of others. I was raised a christian and believe in God. I just can't help but to wonder if heaven is just another fairy tale.
I wonder why my brother was taken. Where did he go? Does he feel hurt? Clearly dying is a part of living..and life is realisticly one big mystery. A fairy tale ..not gone bad..only gone different.
No one cares to question life until they feel the pain of losing someone who lost their own. God forbid a brother. I can't help but to carry the pain and emptiness from the years that he lost. He didn't deserve to be gone from this earth...gone from existence. I guess I should be asking God to grant me the serenity to accept this...which I can't change. But instead.. I want to leave it at the mere truth. Life is a tornado of dissapointments.
Never think that anything is promised. Never take a person that you love for granted. Shower the people you love with love. Always show them the way that you feel. Take the time to TELL them that you accept and love them no matter what happens in this life no matter what path they may choose. Never waste time condemning them. Because you might just be like me...and find yourself staring into an empty room..where a person once needed your love.
If I could say one thing to my brother. Only one.I would say..
I would die tomorrow to give you a second chance at life. I love you.
Just maybe in this place we call heaven..people can look down and feel the pain of the ones they have left behind. I hope you know how heavy my heart is now that I carry us both. There's no more lonliness. You are weightless and perfect. Like you always have been in my eyes.
I love you.
Your sister
Susan

I miss you more than you could ever know. We love you and talk about you every day as if you were still here to hug us and smile as you so often did. There's nothing that can heal this hole you have left in my heart. Love you always. |
You passed over on the same day as my sweet sweet Joe. I keep you all in my prayers until you see the face of God.May God Bless you and may Mary our sweet sweet mother wrap you in her mantle. |
Today I saw the officer that was there when you passed. My heart breaks with every simple reminder. I love you forever. |

Who are "friends" |
It breaks what it left of my heart into a million pieces to see all of Jamie's "friends" not taking a minute out of their life to honor him. I hate every last one of you...all you ever did was bring him down. |
I did not know your brother, Jamie, but my thoughts and prayers are with you. God bless you, your family, and friends that did know him. <3 |
I miss you. |
