Jamail, our brother and friend, always kind and caring. When you walked in the room you knew just how to put a smile on everyone’s face. I cannot believe you are gone. The comment I am typing on this tribute wall is surreal to me. I wish I could have been there to share laughs with you just one last time. I wish I would have called you more to remind you how much I cared but God still holds the master plan. You were so important and loved by us all it’s just so hard to let go and say goodbye. I wasn’t prepared for this day, but since I have to let go I’ll just say, I love you and I will miss you so. You’re are home now and in good hands, and I will see you again someday…….

I’ve visited this page everyday hoping it was a horrible mix up. Sincere condolences to the family, he was a staple to your family. When we talked he always talked about his family; he loved his little man, “mama dukes”, and cared deeply for his sister. He was a person who hustled to reach the goals he set for himself. He touched the Venango County area not just with his amazing athletic skills, or Dearing charm, but with his compassion and positive vibe. He was selfless and would do anything for those he loved. He truly didn’t take life for granted and lived life to the fullest. Jamail you will always be in my heart- you showed me what it means to love, live life, and not take myself so seriously. I will miss your laugh, your wit, you jokes, and your bear hugs. I will never forget the memories we had. I am grateful we reconnected two years ago. We healed, reconnected and made more memories. You were an amazing soul who is gone too soon. I wish I could talk to you now but I pray you knew I loved you, will miss you and hopefully I will see you again. You are at peace which helps relieve my sorrow.
Gone but never forgotten…..
A “Memory” I shared with Jamail popped up on my Facebook feed today. We worked together at Americorps many summers ago, and I enjoyed every hysterical moment. He was an incredible role model for the kids that summer, and he made every single one of his co-workers smile and laugh each day. He was a beautiful soul, and I know that joy is living on. Prayers for all who knew him, and prayers for peace for him.
Dam daddy, even though time has past I still wait for your call, your text I even hope to see you walk through the door some days. Missing you so much baby but Im being strong. My relationship with you started off with a simple kindness, I was ready to drop out of school due to transportation and you wasn’t having it. You knew very little about me and still treated me better then most. Your big heart, your infectious smile/laugh, your amazing hugs and those sweet kisses are the thing I will miss the most. thank you for an amazing four years, thank you for loving me, fighting with me and for me. I love you daddy always and forever ! – his stilts :*
