He was the son of Preston Rick West and Deborah Crosby West.

In his youth, Jamie was an acclaimed trick bike rider who performed and won riding championships. He was also a member of the Mayfair Swim Team and was a pioneer of homeschooling in the state of Georgia.
Jamie loved golf and was a lifetime member of the PGA. He worked as a manager at prestigious golf clubs throughout the country, notably at the Westin Savannah Harbor Resort in Savannah and the Rio Mar Country Club in Puerto Rico.
His sweet and innocent spirit led strangers to love him as a true friend.

I am so very sorry for your loss. Jamie was a wonderful man, and I enjoyed working with him at Rio Mar and getting to know him as a person. The world is a little darker today without him.
