**Help Us Honor the Memory of James “JT” Taylor III** It is with a heavy heart that we share the tragic news of the passing of James “JT” Taylor III. On May 22nd, at just 15 years old, James was taken from us in a devastating car crash. Our family is shattered by this loss and struggling to come to terms with the reality that our beloved son, brother, nephew, grandson, cousin, and friend is no longer with us. We are reaching out to our community, friends, and kind-hearted strangers to help us raise $8,000 to cover the funeral expenses. This support will allow us to give James the proper farewell he deserves and alleviate the financial burden on our family during this incredibly difficult time. James was an extraordinary young man, full of life, laughter, and love. His infectious smile and silly antics could light up any room. He was deeply compassionate and always eager to help others, showing empathy beyond his years. James was a joy to be around, constantly making those around him laugh and feel loved. He leaves behind a heartbroken family and countless friends who will forever cherish the memories and moments shared with him. James touched so many lives with his kindness and vibrant spirit, and he will be profoundly missed by all who knew him. We want to remember James for the incredible person he was and the joy he brought into our lives. Your generous contributions will not only help us give James a fitting tribute but also support our family as we navigate this heartbreaking loss. Any amount you can donate will be deeply appreciated, and if you are unable to contribute financially, we ask that you keep James and our family in your thoughts and prayers. Sharing this campaign with your family and friends would also mean the world to us. Thank you for your kindness and support during this unimaginable time. Together, we can honor James’s memory and keep his spirit alive. With heartfelt gratitude, thank you.
