In Memory of James Koshivos

There are truly no words that can do justice in describing James. He embodied every principal it takes to be a great son, brother, friend and community member. Every interaction he engaged in he did with his best foot forward and his heart on his sleeve. Even if you didn’t ask, he would drop everything to be there. His zest for life was captivating. His energy radiated through everything he did with a level of passion that was nothing less than exceptional. His life is a testament to what it means to love and live to the fullest. He will live on in all those who had the pleasure of knowing him because of the genuine compassion he applied in everything he did.

In high school, he was a large contributor to his rowing team and earned the status as a captain of the group. On campus, he was involved in Best Buddies and Sigma Chi and was an integral part of the annual Derby Days event which raises money for the Huntsman Cancer Institute. He was devoted to the mission of helping others and was a giving person in nature. James left a positive impact on every person who had the honor of meeting him and his light will shine for generations to come. He set an example of what it meant to be a part of a community and raised the standard that every one of us should aspire to be.

We love you James.
