He grew up in Highlands and was a graduate from Highlands High School in 2004. James had a calling to serve his country and joined the Marines immediately after graduation. He served two tours in Iraq and one 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.
PJ and Liz are overwhelmed by James’ passing.
