The Legacy of James Yang
James was a lover of finely made fedoras, purveyor of unlicensed Vietnamese sandwiches, amateur street racer (retired due to legal issues), long-board aficionado, MBA scholar, self certified dog trainer, and Canadian lifestyle tutor extraordinaire; the always dapper James Yang was a one of a kind. James was a doting father and husband, fiercely loyal friend, and beloved son. He lived his life with a passion and energy that touched every person he came across. His warm laugh and mischievous smile perfectly embodied his eternal optimism and desire to push the envelope. Being with James was rarely boring because James was always willing to defy expectations and find his own way. James was happiest when surrounded by his family and countless friends. They brought immense joy into his life and he into theirs. He poured time, energy, and love into each of his relationships. He was the one you called if you needed help or if life had you down. James was always there for his people. After receiving his cancer diagnosis, James never stopped living the James Yang way of life.
Buoyed by the unbelievable strength of two incredible women, his mother Laura and the love of his life Van Dang, and his father, Peter, James persevered. James fought to get healthy, never complained about his diagnosis, and pushed forward with optimism and resolve. His warm smile simply never left his face.
Embracing life as he always had, days removed from chemotherapy, he married Van in an unforgettable event on Galliano Island and welcomed his dear son Jordan Peter (JP) into the world last year. His wedding hit worldwide attention:

Unfortunately, cancer is a terrible terrible disease and our dear James said a final good-bye to his family and friends after a courageous battle with brain cancer on Monday evening. His spirit lives on in his beautiful son and wife, caring mother and father, and the hundreds of people who had the fortune to cross his path.
Despite passing away at the young age of 32, James has made life better for all of us. Thank You James. We love you. And hope this is but a small token of what you meant to all of us.
Thank you to all who contribute.
