The Jameson’s Joy Memorial Service Foundation was created to honor the life and legacy of an amazing 9-year-old boy by inspiring people to build and strengthen their communities through acts of kindness – just as he did.
Jameson Adair Courtine was born on September 6, 2009 in Raleigh, NC. Through his 9 ½ years on Earth, he brought pure joy to the hearts of many with his smiles, giggles, sense of humor, character and strong work ethic. In any room Jameson walked into, people smiled because they knew he was going to do something awesome and do it with a great attitude.
One of Jameson’s best qualities was his heart. Jameson showed love openly and was a great friend to many. He was often the first one to meet new classmates and help them get adjusted to a new classroom. Jameson was often times chosen by his teachers to mentor other students and friends, and he did so happily. He was chosen by his teachers at school and church to participate in extra challenges and studies that required a commitment that went above and beyond normal. He was friendly and outgoing, and volunteered happily in many places including church, nursing homes and his community.
Jameson passed away unexpectedly on February 27, 2019. His death left a large hole in his family and community. Jameson’s Joy took off immediately as one of his friends decided to perform random acts of kindness at school in Jameson’s name, and #jamesonsjoy quickly became a grassroots effort of performing widespread random acts of kindness in many communities around the world. The Jameson’s Joy Memorial Service Foundation was quickly born from this movement.
While on Earth, Jameson began a legacy that has already touched hundreds of people in a positive way. It is our hope to keep this legacy alive in Jameson’s honor. Jameson’s Joy hopes to accomplish the following:
-build a ninja park to promote physical fitness in his town
-provide mentors to children who need positive adult role models
-provide community libraries to encourage children to read
-connect fathers to their children through reading and other programs
-inspire people to perform random acts of kindness
-shine the light of Jesus as Jameson did every day he lived
Your generous support is greatly appreciated.
