James with his extended family. We all love you SO MUCH James. Our hearts all feel broken knowing you are gone from this earth
James with Kimberly and Olivia Bush. Christmas 2012.
Jim (and JB) made the Villages, Florida a more special place for us because, in their presence and in their home, we always experienced a strong sense of family. We are blessed to have met and to have fellowshipped with the Fairs.
Jim was a quiet gentle, lovable and compassionate person. It was so obvious that Jim knew and loved The Lord. He, also, loved people and would go out of his way to lend a helping hand to others. We thank God for Jim and for the beautiful example he was to us of a mature and godly man. We will forever treasure our " Tuesdays at the Fairs."
May God comfort and strengthen Jacquie, Jim's mom and the entire Fair family. You are in our prayers.

We truly all have been blessed by this beautiful person in our lives. When I think of James, everything good comes to mind. He did so much for us. He was always helping us. We were all so proud to have James for a friend. He was a legend to us. He was a teacher to us in so many ways. James was such a big part of our lives growing up and I feel so blessed to have been a close friend of his. He spent countless hours bringing local youth together. We would help him with a few chores and he would make us supper. He took us fishing, played baseball, basketball and football with us. James was always the steady quarterback. He had such a big hearty laugh and could always make you smile and make you feel good about yourself. We can only dream of doing as much of the Lords work as James has done. I will always think of him as St. James of Millstone. Good bye for now my great friend. You have given us much love to pass around and this we will.
Our deepest condolences to all of the great Fair family.
GOD BLESS,
Charlie
Dear Jacquie, Mrs. Fair and all of James' family, please accept my deepest condolences for the loss of James. He was a one in a billion person, 6 feet 8 inches of love. I find myself crying and thinking that perhaps this is a nightmare, he can't possibly be gone. Then I realize it is true and I think of the pain that you must all be feeling since he was a part of your day to day life. I saw James last Christmas after several years of not seeing him. It was as if there had never been a gap in time between visits. He was the same wonderful man who it was impossible not to love. He touched so many people's lives and was always there if you needed him. It really is true that you don't know what you have until it's gone. I regret that I didn't keep in better touch with him. Jacquie and Mrs. Fair you are so much in my thoughts and prayers.
To our Fair Family:
Words cannot express this unexpected loss; however, we are a family of believers and we know that He does not give us more than we can bare...to this end; look to where your strength resides cousin Jacquie...Aunt Vicki...continue to be the pillar of strength and amazing fortitude...to all of the siblings; cousins; nieces/nephews...know that cousin James is resting in the bossom of the Lord and we shall all feel so compelled to walk in his footprints and honor his legacy. Always missed but never forgotten...cousin you left your imprint on so many lives and for that I am humbled. Rest in peace my gentle cousin.

To my Gentle Giant "Cuz":
My eyes filled up with tears as I heard the devastating news. It never occurred to me, how much of a lose this is going to be. I find myself wishing that it wasn't real. Every time I think about it, pain is all I can feel. Tears flow from my eyes, I can barely see. But my heart tells me that you'll always be with me. I'm glad you feel no pain, you are in a perfect place. I can still feel the soft touch on my shoulder of your loving hand. I lie in bed and cry at night, And I don't feel any better in the morning light. I will love and miss you forever. Until the day we are together again. Together in that perfect place above. You was filled with caring, sharing and love. But until that day comes, I will wipe my tears. And hopefully see you again someday.
I will truly miss you my human jungle gym.
Love always and forever,
Nicole "Nikki" Fair
