Obituary for Kuothhorko "Kuzi” James

Kuzi was one of the sweetest and brightest kids I’ve ever met. I’ll always remember how caring he was. Even though he couldn’t communicate what he was trying to do, he would always show it with his actions. He didn’t like eating or drinking without someone eating with him. If he got something for himself he would come to me and my siblings to make sure we tried it too. If he saw we down or not in the best mood he would come and check on us to make sure we were okay. My little brother was always so full of energy, sometimes too much for us to handle. But we still enjoyed every minute of it. From jumping on the bed to jumping in the living room to jumping in the backyard. There was never a quiet moment in our household. His presence and energy will always be missed in our lives, and in our hearts. Kuzi loved to do so many things. Even if there was nothing to do, he would find something to do. One of his favourite things to do was draw. Kuzi would draw cars, houses, and all the characters from the cartoons he watched. But the thing that really touched our hearts the most is when he would draw us, his siblings and his parents. It’s still so fresh in my memory how we would sometimes get angry with Kuzi for drawing on the walls. If he didn’t find paper fast enough to draw what he was thinking about he would immediately run to draw it on the wall. His drawings on the wall still look back at us to this day. Kuothhorko also took a lot of interest in cooking and baking. Whenever we turned on the tv he would point to all the cooking channels asking to watch them. The only downside to that is when he would try to recreate them. When we looked away for a minute he would grab the eggs and milk just to create a huge mess. It was tiring to clean up all the time, but we knew he was just trying to cook like the chefs he sees on tv. I remember how he would run to family members and to visitors forcing them to play patty cake with him nonstop. With all the energy he has, he loved any and all types of sports. He would play basketball and soccer with us for hours. When we were so tired and done, he would still get up and continue running no rest. Kuzi would eat anything sweet. He loved cookies, cake, ice cream, brownies. Anything with sugar Kuzi would try to eat. We tried our best to limit the amount of sugar he would eat, but the minute he ate a tiny bit of sugar, he was bouncing off the walls. He was very loud and never was there quiet in our house. He absolutely loved going on walks. We would go for walks in our neighborhood and walk to nearby parks just for him to enjoy himself. If we weren’t very busy we would take him to the riverside and walk through all the parks there. Or we would drive out to Lakeshore and Leamington just to show him a different scenery. Living with Kuzi was so eventful and entertaining. We will cherish the many beautiful memories we made with Kuzi these past 7 years for the rest of our lives. He was an amazing blessing from God and I’m so happy I got to be his big sister for the time he lived. Even though we will miss him dearly, his time has come to rest. I thank God for all he has done in our lives and for Kuzi’s life.
