JR was born in Walnut Creek, CA, attended St. Agnes School in Concord, graduated from Concord High School, and earned a degree in Business Operations Management from Sacramento State University where he met the love of his life, Aimee Gillis.

I only knew you as the guy we sat next to at our beloved Dubs basketball games, but you were so filled with grace. You have been an inspiration to me all these years and I think of your beautiful soul often. It was a pleasure to know you and Aimee and to watch your family grow. It breaks my heart that you had to leave this world so soon. May your family always feel the love and grace of who you are. I know I will always try to be like you.

JR, You are by far one of my favorite people. I love you, Aimee and the kids so much. Your smile lit up the room and your personality was amazing. Nobody will ever forget your fancy dance moves =) Your memory will live in everyone that loves you, which is a LOT of people. Always in our hearts my sweet friend.
