Justin Vaughn James, 29, died peacefully at his home Saturday April 27th. He is survived by loving family members which include his mother, Catherine Cross, his father and stepmother, Joel and Kathy James, his brother and sister-in-law, Jason and Elizabeth James, and his sisters Leah and Lindsay Brandon. Grandparents include Era James, Ruth and Junior Cross, and Frances Bethel. Justin will be remembered for his perpetual love of his community and his generosity towards others. After graduating from the University of Georgia with a degree in Digital Media, Justin moved to Guemes Island, off the coast of Washington state. He immediately became immersed in the island life. He was an active member of the community, working as a volunteer firefighter, a founding member and writer for the Guemes Tide newspaper, and helping the islanders with various projects. The love and admiration he felt for Guemes Island and the people of this community is truly indescribable. Any person who met Justin cannot help but notice his gentle ways and loving spirit, and his family and friends will forever miss him.
