One reader comment about James Dukes
James was an amazing guy, he helped me and a lot of our friends find themselves and made us feel comfortable with who we are. He would always be there and offer his place for friends to congregate and celebrate and party. I can't even remember ever seeing him angry or sad, just always a ray sunshine, always happy and I don't think he ever hurt or marred anyone to my knowledge. We all miss and hold him dear to our hearts and to us he will always live on young, happy and being true to himself...we love you James and hope you've gone on to better Pastures may the Lord grace you and welcome you unto his kingdom.
