Brian Termaine James

Brian Termaine James was born on August 23, 1985 at Mercy Hospital in Brinkley, Arkansas to Gregory James Sr. and Linda James.

Brian was always reared in the Christian faith, and was baptized by his uncle, Elder Bobby J. James at Greater Hour of Deliverance Church in Brinkley, Arkansas.

As a child, Brian was a soft spoken quiet boy. Although he was often quiet, he was definitely a jokester, and often considered the “class clown”.

As he began to develop into his own unique personality, he was very helpful and didn’t mind doing things for others. He had a love for cereal, especially Frosted Flakes and Fruity Pebbles, which would last well into his adulthood. He also was a rice lover in his youth and he loved pizza.

Brian developed a love for sports. He played junior football, baseball, and basketball. He was an avid Kobe Bryant fan, and Deon Sanders fan, often calling himself “Prime Time”.

Brian received his formal education in the Brinkley Public School System, attending elementary at C.B. Partee Elementary School, and then went on to attend Brinkley High School, where Brian was a member of the 2003 graduating class.

After High School, Brian would go on to live in the Central Arkansas area. While living here, he would continue to doing the things he loved, like dancing, playing cards, enjoying his affinity for cars, watching his favorite sports, and spending time with his family whom loved him dearly.

On January 12, 2023, God saw fit to take from this walk of life, His child Brian Termaine James, so he dispatched his Angels to Little Rock, Arkansas to retrieve his soul. Loved ones who had gone on before him include his maternal grandparents, Mahaley James and James A. James, his paternal grandparents Thurman and Mamie James, and his brothers Gregory D. Jones Jr. and Levaris James.
