The only guy who could literally slip and fall off a roof but yet somehow be able to tuck and roll like a ninja when he hit the ground..... hop up, climb the staging and keep working without missing a beat... oh yeah, forgot to mention.... thats climbing back up with a bundle of shingles over his shoulder.. don't think there was ever a time he seen me without taking the time to walk over just to say "hey Jimbo" ... Your gonna be missed brother, this news was definitely hard to swallow..
See ya on the next one my friend

Kevin Savage. May Jamie rest in peace. I’m from Lingan and in the summer of 2014 at CNRL in Fort MacMurray we got paired up a few times doing concrete work. He always had great stories from back home. You work with a pile of people out west on so many jobs but can’t remember most of the crews but Jamie stood out to me. I was shocked to see this on my phone today, and at this time of year. Kevin and Patricia Savage.

My Ole buddy......
We knew how to be kids back then. From sleepovers at your uncle Allies, playing in the horsebarn, looking at calendars we should have lol, climbing neighborhood barns, getting shot with salt by local seniors lol, hooking bumbers, to just chilling out. Ill miss those days forever bud. Ill never not think of you when I reflect on my childhood and growing up. We did it all!
May God bless everyone who loved that guy. Biggest heart I ever knew back then, 100% !!
Willie
