Greg Campbell passed this on to me - he heard it from Chaz who heard it from Steve Jones who heard it from his secretary who knows Jamie's wife, Julie. The phone lines have been burning up today... Anyway, Jamie passed from Stage 4 lung cancer. Campbell saw him about a month ago, albeit briefly, because Jamie's son was driving him to a doctor's appointment and Jamie was in a hurry. Campbell said he didn't look good, but Jamie didn't share whatever his health problems were. He and Julie moved to Camp Verde about 2 years ago. Anybody know anything else?
I don't know anything about Jamie's passing. I do remember meeting Julie at the bus stop my freshman year in high school, on the first day of school. Linda Jones was there too. This was the beginning of a long friendship, with Linda. Julie was sweet, and seemed kind. I never got to know her very well, but always thought she was so naturally pretty, and very nice. She and Jamie go back a long way.
My fondest memories of Jamie were from grade school (broadmoor). We played football together and were best friends. We had classes together and he always was a good guy who listened to you and was always there for you. Ill always keep him in my heart and prayers

I met Jamie in Mrs. Clark's 3rd grade class at Broadmor. He was fun and friendly, and I liked his name so much that when our son was born in 1994, we named him Jamie.
