Jamie was born June 9, 1964. He was a lifelong resident of Cedar Rapids and graduated from Jefferson High School in 1982. He was a gifted musician and had a strong passion for entertaining his friends and family that shined through his music. And the best family handyman.

His kind and gentle nature will be remembered daily as we look at his beautiful children. He was a wonderful father, grandfather, brother, uncle, granduncle and a buddy to everybody.

We miss him tremendously and will love him forever.
