I remember being in Seminary with James & admiring how dedicated he was to the Lord, how kind, & how intelligent he was. I know it’s been 2 years since his passing, but he still has an impact on my life & I’m grateful I had the opportunity to meet him.
I remember James' fun and daring personality! He wasn't afraid to try anything! He did the craziest tricks on the tramp, had an awesome zipline in his back yard, hung his hammock in the corner of his room and jumped around like Spiderman everywhere! He had an amazing gift for climbing and could climb up any door frame as a boy! It was incredible! He mastered a very difficult rig that he and his dad built in his backyard and made it look easy!
I was always impressed with the projects he was able to accomplish with Curtis and Curtis's support for everything James was involved in, including every scout trip in the history of Lehi :)
I loved his calm personality! It seemed he was at ease in every situation and he was so easy to be around and feel comfortable with. We love him so much and will miss him dearly!!

I love James Pope. He was always in the right place, at the right time, doing the right thing. My memories of James include him standing at the entrance to the chapel with a smile and handshake as I entered with my family to worship each Sunday morning. Honorably blessing the sacrament with his best friend Blake, handling the sacred emblems with solemn care and blessing them with a clear and exact voice. Standing over a hot skillet In the cool morning of our scout campsite with spatula in hand, cooking a pile of hashbrowns for the group. Yes, my forever memories are all of James in acts of service. He exemplified what a disciple of a Christ should be and helped me feel closer to Him because of his example.
