Hi, my name is Trevor Haworth. James was a good friend of mine. I talked to him everyday on the internet when I woke up. He used to always talk about his plans in life. Wrestling, Football, Bobbi, etc. He perfected each one to accomplishment. As soon as I found out about the recent tragedy, I broke in to tears, anger, regret, sympathy, and empitness. I called his family and gave them my sympathy. James and I were best friends and forever will be. We planned so many things together, to make a website, the Gaming Evolved Wall of Fame, and many others. Sadly we never got any accomplished, yet. I have decided to keep on going with each of them to make sure they never end. Our website will have James a member, where he will help administrate it with me in spirit. I guess I will end my memorial speech now with a bigger fondness of him. No amount of tears will amount to how much I loved him. RIP James. I hope you are in a better place. What can I say about James? How can I find the words to accurately describe the wonderful human being that he truly was? Or the words to describe the pain and emptiness we're all feeling now. I don't think the words exist. I remember when James first came to our site. He was so full of questions and willingness to help. He wrote me endless amounts of messages every day with questions I sometimes didn't even have the answers to. So, he made me learn more, because he needed those answers. And the more he learned, the more he wanted to help. So it was only natural that he became our youngest moderator. Still, he wanted to do more. Whenever we needed something done, he'd volunteer. I think he held just about every staff position we have. And he made sure whatever he was in charge of got done. And even with all that, he still made time to welcome every new member that posted, and offer to help if they needed it. He also would write to me just to see how I was doing. And he was always thinking of new ideas of how we might be able to help or improve the site. He truly was part of GamingEvolved. And now it feels like a part of us is missing. It'll never be the same. When I started putting together these pages, I kept thinking what I was doing just wasn't good enough. Then a friend (Trent) had some words of wisdom for someone else who made a contribution for the memorial. He said "when something like this comes from the heart it can never be short of top-notch". Trevor reminded me of that statement. So, James, this may not be "the best", but it is "my best". Love you, miss you. Say "hi" to Don for me. Love, Marsha The night has gone on far too long, with haunting nightmares of things gone wrong. Its time to waken from my sleep and from the dreams that have made me weep. Let me wake to the morning's light and see that everything's alright. It was merely shadows and midnight's chill and those we love are with us still. Just a dream, nothing more life is the same as it was before. How I long to hear someone say "it was just a nightmare, everything's okay". Anonymous You were a great friend, It sucks that it had to end, But I know you're in heaven smiling down, I remember all the times I acted like a clown, And got you to laugh on AIM, I remember when you came, My life changed on that day, I if I may say, You are the best friend a guy could ever wish for, When me and Aaron fought you tolerated it instead of treating it like a bore, You gave me advice and helped give me the guts to say sorry, So now I say sorry, to you for not being there this last half year, But when I die, if I get up there, I'll bring the beer. Cody (Hunted0ne) What can I say? I may not have been a friend, but James was one of the few people younger than me to gain my respect. He was a hell of a mod, and a hell of a guy. He was always one of the two I turned to if I had a question. He looked out for me on occasion when I came close to breaking a rule. I don’t know why he was taken at his age, but I’m sure he’s still watching out for me and several others on GamingEvolved. I will miss you James, farwell. I give my prayers to his family and friends, and offer my best wishes for them. Guardian James I thank you For showing me What I didn’t see I won’t forget you You’ll always be a guardian Super mod A super guy You’ll live on Never fading Never straying You’ll always be a guardian We won’t forget you You’ve made an impression Leaving your mark Where ever you went You’ll always be a guardian You’ll always be a guardian We’ll never let your legacy die Always to be remembered You’ll always be MY guardian Tom (kaiton_reigns) [Member Spotlight] [News Story] [Tribute Signatures] [Obituary]
