James was the king of fun and the kind of person who could fill a room with energy just by showing up. When music was playing, it was always loud. If something needed fixing or improving, he was already working on it. And if someone needed help, James was there every single time. Most of all, James was a very involved dad. His four children who are 17, 13, 10 and 7 were the center of his world. He loved taking them on little adventures, playing music with them, working on projects, and making even the smallest moments feel exciting. He was proud of his family, and they loved him deeply in return. Now his wife and kids are facing a heartbreaking and unexpected loss. They are doing their best to get through each day while trying to create a safe and steady environment for the children during this difficult time. This fundraiser was created to help support them with some of the major needs they are facing. The funds will help cover funeral costs. They also need help with the cost of moving as the family works to find a new place that feels safe and manageable. In addition, the funds will help provide meals and daily support so the family can focus on healing instead of worrying about basic needs. If you are able, please consider donating. If you cannot give at this time, sharing this page or keeping the family in your thoughts is also a great help. James lived with joy, loved others fully, and created many wonderful memories. As his family faces a world that feels quieter without him, we hope to surround them with the same love and support that James always shared with everyone around him. Thank you for supporting the Briley family during this very difficult time.
