James had a calling to serve his country and joined the Marines immediately after graduation. He served 2 tours in Iraq and 1 tour in Afghanistan. He was honorably discharged in 2014.

James is survived by his son, Jason View. Jason was the most precious and valuable person in James' life. A father's love could not be any stronger.

James was a very kind soul. He touched so many lives with the love he carried in his heart. Starting at a young age, James was spreading happiness and cheer in the halls of elementary school. He continued his good-natured ways through high school and was voted Homecoming king in 2003.
