What to Expect

James-Russell expressed himself most fully through art, music, and poetry. We believe he would have loved nothing more than for us to come together and create a space to do the same.

You are warmly invited to join us in remembering and celebrating his life. If you feel moved, we welcome you to share a story, a song, a poem, or even a joke—anything that reflects the spirit of who he was.

James-Russell wasn’t formal—he valued comfort, authenticity, and being fully himself, often choosing sweatpants over anything else. In that spirit, we invite you to come exactly as you are. If you’d like, you can also honor him by wearing sweatpants or tie-dye.

We will have some of his favorite foods—and, of course, plenty of coffee.

He lived, created, and connected through love—and in coming together, we keep that love alive.
