James Turner

James (Jamie) E. Turner was born into life on July 16, 1978. He was born to Faye Turner and the late James Turner Jr. in Chicago, Illinois.

Eighteen years ago, James joined Marshalls where he remained until his passing.

James was an avid sports fan and could quote many sports statistics of major teams and players. His all-time favorite was the Chicago Bulls, where he met several players.

James was known for that magic smile which never wavered. James was fun, loving and a great friend to many.

James leaves to cherish his memory: A loving mother, Faye Turner; two brothers, Charles Turner and Raymond Turner; five uncles, David Fowler, Terry Fowler, Jesse Fowler, Michael Fowler and Willie Fowler; three aunts, Rosemary Fowler, Ramona Blakney and Elsie Watts; and a host of many nieces, nephews, other family and friends.
