James Younan was an incredible father, grandfather, brother and friend. He was loyal, supportive, reliable, caring and loved with his whole heart. Being around him was guaranteed to put a smile on your face. He loved hiking, skiing, walking his dogs, riding his motorcycle and music. He left us far too soon, but no measure of time would have ever been enough. He will live on forever in our hearts, memories and traditions.
