James Paul

LaMere

James Paul LaMere, born on August 26, 1959, in the bustling city of St. Paul, MN, lived a life that was as vibrant and colorful as his surroundings. James was a creative soul, with a knack for seeing the world through a unique lens. James’s adventurous spirit led him to retire in the breathtaking landscapes of Hartsel, Colorado, where he spent his days capturing the beauty of nature with his camera and riding his motorcycle across the open roads. As Mark Twain once said, "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do," and James lived by this mantra every day.

James leaves behind a legacy of adventure, creativity, and love for life. James is survived by his daughters, Larisa Eckhardt and Aiyana LaMere, as well as a sister, Michelle Sutton. Although he was preceded in death by his parents, Lyle LaMere and Kathy Edwards, his spirit lives on in the stories and memories cherished by his family and friends. As we celebrate the life of this extraordinary man, we invite you to leave your memories and upload photos to his memorial page. James would have loved nothing more than to see the joy and laughter he brought to those around him.
