While I carry you in my heart every day, somehow taking some time to talk to you on your special day gives me some sense of peace and makes me feel closer to you.\n\nI celebrate those good qualities you had and there were many.  You had lots of good friends in many places. I recall how many people showed up for your memorial service in Port Angeles, Washington.  You were a Renaissance man in a time when that lifestyle was not appreciated.\n\nYou were a great cook, loved cooking and held several jobs as a chef. You were a mason, I remember you proudly showing me several brick laying jobs you had completed in Washington State.  As an amateur mycologist, you not only studied mushrooms, but gathered them, cooked and ate them and sold them to restaurants.\n\nI shared some time with you in California when we were panning for gold! We only found a few specks, but it was exciting and time we spent together in nature. You loved nature and spent most of your time outdoors with your dog while camping and enjoying the peace it brought you. I still have that collection of sand dollars that you collected from the beach at Crescent City, California and gave to me.\n\nAlways a philosopher, thinking and trying to figure out life.  I remember our many discussions about meaningful things and life in many aspects. You were often reading and were very intelligent.\n\nI was surprised to find what an accomplished musician you became, playing drums, guitar and piano.\n\nYour greatest joy was the birth of your daughter and I thank you for giving me a beautiful granddaughter to love.\n\nYou left us in Seattle, Washington…August 10, 1999. I pray you have found your peace and know you are loved and missed.\n\nSo today, I say your name, remember your life in a positive way and then each year I will celebrate your birthday, September 22, 1958, born in San Diego, California at the Naval Air Station North Island.  That was a good day for me!\n\nLove, Dad","thumbUrl":"https://usermedia.sharememorial.com/les_thumb.png","dob":"1958-09-22","dod":"1999-08-10","slug":"james-leslie-perkins","mediaItems":[{"type":"image","url":"https://usermedia.sharememorial.com/james-leslie-perkins.jpg"}],"_links":{"self":{"href":"https://share-memorial-api.pages.dev/memorials/bf8014ab-53c9-4154-b398-6a2de9eec340"}}},{"id":"5fb6c6af-8c2e-432b-b0ef-0382c53e0189","lat":38.46299689550517,"lng":-78.0047860816605,"name":"Unknown","nickname":"","caption":"","thumbUrl":"https://usermedia.sharememorial.com/5fb6c6af-8c2e-432b-b0ef-0382c53e0189/thumb.webp","dob":"","dod":"","slug":"5fb6c6af-8c2e-432b-b0ef-0382c53e0189","mediaItems":[{"type":"image","url":"https://usermedia.sharememorial.com/5fb6c6af-8c2e-432b-b0ef-0382c53e0189/image"}],"_links":{"self":{"href":"https://share-memorial-api.pages.dev/memorials/5fb6c6af-8c2e-432b-b0ef-0382c53e0189"}}},{"id":"c848064d-7cb9-45a0-88df-ae3ccc1760bb","lat":39.16749726693348,"lng":-77.64974713202058,"name":"Joshua O'Neil Guthrie","nickname":"","caption":"\"The most notable trying about Josh was his ability to overcome obstacles.\"\r\n\r\nMike Comini\r\nGymnastics coach","thumbUrl":"https://usermedia.sharememorial.com/c848064d-7cb9-45a0-88df-ae3ccc1760bb/thumb.webp","dob":"","dod":"1998-10-11","slug":"c848064d-7cb9-45a0-88df-ae3ccc1760bb","mediaItems":[{"type":"image","url":"https://usermedia.sharememorial.com/c848064d-7cb9-45a0-88df-ae3ccc1760bb/image"}],"_links":{"self":{"href":"https://share-memorial-api.pages.dev/memorials/c848064d-7cb9-45a0-88df-ae3ccc1760bb"}}},{"id":"8626b496-e28e-4b60-a956-971437a81806","lat":42.837645319570754,"lng":-70.98857919963926,"name":"Unknown","nickname":"","caption":"","thumbUrl":"https://usermedia.sharememorial.com/8626b496-e28e-4b60-a956-971437a81806/thumb.webp","dob":"","dod":"","slug":"8626b496-e28e-4b60-a956-971437a81806","mediaItems":[{"type":"image","url":"https://usermedia.sharememorial.com/8626b496-e28e-4b60-a956-971437a81806/image"},{"type":"video","url":""}],"_links":{"self":{"href":"https://share-memorial-api.pages.dev/memorials/8626b496-e28e-4b60-a956-971437a81806"}}},{"id":"5596c95f-1ae0-4d2a-a7e2-b163bdca93f6","lat":34.04313625334058,"lng":-78.08098865382152,"name":"Floyd Leggett “Scratch” Butler","nickname":"","caption":"Floyd Leggett “Scratch” Butler, a 44-year-old man from Chadbourn, North Carolina, tragically lost his life in a vehicle accident on the evening of Thursday, October 22, 2020, in Brunswick County.
