     HONORING TREVOR L. JAMES OF HAMMONTON TOWNSHIP, NEW JERSEY; A 
                  PRAISEWORTHY MAN AND A LOVING FATHER

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. ROBERT E. ANDREWS

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 15, 2009

  Mr. ANDREWS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Trevor L. 
James, who resided in Hammonton, New Jersey for 22 years. His life was 
tragically cut short in a motorcycle accident.
  As a child Trevor loved to laugh and play like all children, but he 
also had a passion for all things mechanical. He would spend endless 
hours figuring out how things could be put together and taken apart.
  When he was 12 years old, Trevor was struck by a car while riding his 
bicycle. As a result of the injuries from the accident he was unable to 
participate in sports and other physical activities. Despite this 
obstacle, James kept a positive attitude. He lived his life according 
to his parents' philosophy; act with conscience and always with 
motivation.
  At the age of 20, Trevor was blessed with the birth of his son Dylan. 
Trevor instantly matured the day Dylan entered this world. Trevor 
bought and restored a home in order to better care for his son. He 
devoted his life to being the best father he could be.
  On August 1st, 2006, Trevor was in a motorcycle accident in 
Sicklerville, New Jersey. While driving down the road he was blindsided 
by another vehicle and the promise of his young life was ended. Since 
the accident his mother, Mrs. Janet James, has dedicated her efforts to 
the memory of her son Trevor. She is now a major advocate for 
motorcycle safety in New Jersey. Members of the community have donated 
a billboard to commemorate Trevor's life. The billboard is located on 
the highway where Trevor was struck. It shows a picture of Trevor and 
his son Dylan, reminding drivers to remain alert on the roadways.
  Madam Speaker, Trevor James' life must not be forgotten. I want to 
personally thank Mrs. James for keeping her son's memory alive. As Mrs. 
James says, her son will be remembered for the characteristics he 
demonstrated everyday: truth, love, and justice.
