James Robert Kaplan

As a son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin, friend, you could not find a better person than James.

James had many talents as a musician, singer, songwriter, skater, writer, hiker, snowboarder and traveler but the accomplishment we think James would be most proud of is when someone called him "Best Friend".

James lived an exciting life that he filled with caring for his family, making friends and creating experiences. With writing and drawing among his many passions, we were left a treasure trove of his creations that brings him alive.

We would like to share the piece James wrote and we had engraved on his urn.

"Never mind the weather - Be damned if I've been better. Me and you party like we've not lost our souls."
