James William Walson, Jr.

age 53, Executive Chef, of Denver, Colorado, passed away January 23, 2010. He is survived by his wife, Kelly Schweitzer; daughters, Aiko, Chelsea, Jamie, Brandi, Marisa; sibling, Corrine, Jason. He was preceded in death by his parents, James and Miyoko Walson.

We are Kelly's parents, Dan & Ruanna Danielson. Upon receiving the first call from Kelly last Saturday, we went into a state of shock – for only 10 minutes as then the second call came. James and Kelly were together from the day they met. He made her life complete and he helped her with her 3 children – Anna, Joshua & Ben. He was a wonderful influence on their lives, and when both families were together it was great fun as the children were close in age. At Christmas, James talked with us and invited us to spend Christmas in 2010 with them in Colorado. How does one cope with such a disaster? By taking one day at a time and knowing in your heart he is with our Heavenly Father and continuing to be a guiding star in the lives he touched while he was here.

Thank you James for sharing in Kelly's heart and love; she will always remember the love you shared.

God bless you always.

James

You came into my life like a spring storm
Unexpected, yet refreshing
You left my life like a blizzard
Unexpected, and shocking

The short time I had with you was all
I needed to know that you really did exist
I did not have to feel like a fool believing
In a love that didn't exist

I am at peace now and no longer feel
A need to search.
No one will ever fill your shoes. You were
My true love. You broke the barriers I had around
My heart.

I will love you forever my love…..

Yours and yours alone

Kelly
