To the family of Mr. Marvin James lll. Our family sends our most sincerest condolences to you all. Nick was an good man and we loved him. We are praying for your strength for we know that the Lord promised to never leave us nor forsake us. God will see you through and heal your broken hearts.
Nicky!!!!! One of the coolest gents you’d ever wanna meet. From our days at Greater Emmanuel to higher ground you were always the one who made us laugh and always had a smile on your face. We touched base on Linkendin and texted over the years. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. My thoughts go out to Evangelist Karen James and the entire James family and our Higher Ground Church Family!
Love Ron Cooley(Tampa Florida)
Karen you are a blessed woman. I know he is in the hands with the Lord.
Sending my deepest condolences to the James family and all of Nick’s friends and family. Praying for you all.
Nicky….One of the most loving human beings I know! I’m going to miss our conversations, and your support you have shown. I was looking forward to you coming to my website launch party. I’ll make sure to have all the “Lexis Goodies” for all to enjoy. I appreciate the the friendship we maintained for 30 plus years, and for you being the BEST first love a girl could ask for. Rest easy. I love you Nick! Ps: Sorry about that chicken sandwich. Lol
This is a hard one to swallow. We were planning to meet-up the next time you came to NYC. That won’t happen now but I’m so thankful that I knew you and most importantly I’m glad you knew Jesus! Praying for Evangelist Karen James and the family. We will see you again Big Nick!
Nick, I love you my friend. I will never forget you as long as I live. Prayers to your family.

My thoughts and prayers are with the entire James family during this difficult time. Sending love your way.
To my 1st Second cousin. I was 11 years old when you were born. The excitement of coming to Columbus OH to see Marvin and Karen’s first child will forever remain with me Nick. As a baby I remember this fun loving kid who brought smiles to everyone he met. May you now smile down from heaven, and say a prayer for peace and comfort for us who remain.
He heals the broken in heart and binds up their wounds Ps 147:3
In a time like this words seem so hard to find
at this time of sorrow may the James Family find comfort in knowing that
others care and are thinking of you
JUST KNOW GOD WALKS BESIDE YOU IN A TIME LIKE THIS TO COMFORT YOU
