I am so saddened to hear of James sudden passing. I will always remember his handsome smile and warm hugs. No matter what was going on in his life he would just want to know how I was and if there was anything he could do for me.That is the kind of heart James has and he will always be part of mine. Love you nefew R.I.P. XO
My sincere condolences for James’s family, and friends. Still so very hard to believe he’s gone. I’ve known Mouse since grade 9 at Beal.
James was always a kind person, always had your back. Even tho we argued at times, as friends do, we were always friends no matter the situation. I remember so many funny, and great times with the man.
I wish his family wellness through this hard time, and for his daughter Neveah to grow up knowing her father loved her very much, and that he was a good person.
Farewell James, I know your in a better place now. RIP.
My deepest condolences go out to the family, We may not have been close and lost contact over the years but we hung out in high school together, and we shared many many mutual friends, the odd time I’d see him around he always spoke highly of his daughter and his plans to better his life. He was such a nice guy, and I’m so saddened to hear of his passing. I also would like to extend condolence to his many friends. You have all gained a new gardian Angel. Rest easy Willits
We will always miss you James. U r forever seeing your daughter now and smiling down on her. My prayers are with Nevaeh and your family
Love always,
Mandy, Madison, Spencer and Rosie

Oh James. My heart goes out to you and Cathy and Neveah. You will be missed by so many people. R.I.P. James Willits with much love..xx
Dear Cathy, Dan, Elizabeth and Nevaeh there are no words to express how deeply sorry I am to hear of your tragic loss. Although I will not be able to attend the memorial on Sunday please know that I will be there in my heart and in spirit.
Cathy, Dan, Elizabeth and Navaeh…Words seem inadequate to express the sadness felt from this tragedy. We have lost such a beautiful person and James will remain in all our hearts forever. He has touched so many lives in the short years he had with us. His sweet smile, his laugh and his fun loving nature, made him one of a kind. I feel blessed to have become friends with such a wonderful person.
He will always be with us in spirit and even thought we may not be able to see him I pray that you feel comfort knowing he is there watching over you and he will always be with you.
Sent with love and remembrance
Love always, Lisa
Dear Cathy and family, I am deeply sorry for your devastating loss of your beautiful son, James. I cannot even begin to imagine the loss and sorrow you feel, and my heart aches for you. While there are no words adequate to express my sympathy here, please know that you are not alone, and that many of us are standing with you in love and friendship. May you find peace, strength, and courage in how much love you shared with James.
You were her father her knight in shinning armour , her sholder ride, her hero , her little kitty stuffy at bed time when she missed you most of all her bet friend she was a daddy’s little princess , She loved and will always love you unconditionally. I’ll always reminisce with her about good times . This is a tragic loss for the willits family and all the kind words must be warming there’ hearts . Cathy and dan you are two of the most supportive strong people I know and without you both I am unsure how me and vaeh would pull threw . That is clearly where your son got his drive and ambition from . Gone too soon . Life isn’t always fair . I hope your in good spirits and vaeh will always be looking out her window at the stars praying to you talking to you like you would do for hours on end , I promised you before I will keep her safe always . Nothing changes promise remains , you will look down and be so proud every day . He was a son brother friend and a father and now he’s a forever memory in our hearts and minds .
Cathy….please accept my condolences on the loss of your son…..know that my prayers and thoughts are sent your way.
Cathy,
You and your family are in our thoughts.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the whole family….R.I.P James.. Gone but definitely not forgotton.
First of all, may I express my sincere sympathies to the family and friends of James. I knew James as a student at Tecumseh Public School and although he could be a challenging young man he had a great sense of humour and was a champion for what he thought was right and fair. I learned much from James about how to listen to and work with a determined, outspoken at times and bright kid! We shared some great moments and a few chuckles! I remember his endearing smile the most. He deserved better in this life and I can only imagine the great discussions he will have in Heaven! Be blessed as a family and know that your son is not forgotten!

Dear Uncle Dan and Aunt Cathy. So sorry to hear of the loss of your son. I can not possibly imagine the heartache you’re going through. I only hope that the love of family and friends can help you in this tragic time. Ours prays are with you. Love Larry and family
Rest In Peace James. I will always remember how much energy you had when you were a kid. I remember your 18th birthday and having a great time as you walked into Adult Hood, lol, with the rest of us. You were always bringing a smile to our face. You never lost that energy and your soul will live on forever, watching over all of us. Forever in the kingdom of Aeons of Wonder.
Love you brother. I will never forget you.
Bobby.
I met Willits through the Rogers family back when I was in public school. He always reminded me of an older brother when we hung out. Always worried about whats going on in my life and trying to get me on the right track. We played countless hours of call of duty (im sure everyone involved remembers), he had some amazing partys at his Gammage st apt and was always making sure I was behaving.
I hadn’t seen James in probably over 2 years now, we never stopped trying to get together but it just never panned out.

We played countless hours of call of duty (im sure everyone involved remembers), he had some amazing partys at his Gammage st apt and was always making sure I was behaving. We lost touch for a while after that, when we finally got back together he was on the road to being a proud father. He wanted the world for this little girl and every time we talked its all he would talk about.

He always wanted to bring Vaeh over to show her off and meet Eva. Im sorry we couldn’t make the times work. Ill be there Sunday in Blue for yah. RIP James you’ll never be forgotten.
Rip bud. Cubscouts!
I have been long time friends with the Krimmer family…everyone spoke so fondly of James. Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to James’ family and friends.

Dear Cathy and family,
My sincerest condolences to you on the terrible loss of your beloved son James. Please know that my thoughts are with you.
Les mots me manquent pour soulager votre chagrin et sentiments d’impuissance. Mais je sais que Dieu pourra vous apaiser puisqu’il est le Père des tendres miséricordes et le Dieu de toute consolation. Il a promis de restaurer le Paradis ; alors, les humains auront la possibilité de vivre sans fin, sans problèmes, accidents, maladies, ni même la mort. En plus, Dieu ressuscitera des millions d’êtres chers. (Psaume 37:29 ; Révélation 21:3,4 ; Jean 6 :40.) Jusqu’à ce que ce jour arrive, que notre Seigneur Jésus Christ et Jéhovah Dieu notre Père, consolent vos cœurs et vous affermissent en toute action et parole qui soient bonnes.
