Much metta to JC, his family and friends.
I don't post here often, but I do read quite frequently, and have come to know JC as one of the DW regulars.
Metta,
Jason

Bhikkhus, if you develop and make much this one thing,
it invariably leads to weariness, cessation, appeasement, realization and extinction.
What is it? It is recollecting the Enlightened One.
If this single thing is recollected and made much,
it invariably leads to weariness, cessation, appeasement, realization and extinction.

JC is such a nice guy and I always enjoyed his thoughts here on DW. I sure hope that he recovers.
Metta JC, you're already missed.
Metta to his wife and family. I'm sorry for your circumstances

So sad to hear that, metta to him and his loved ones.
We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and to
the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his
children smart.

So very sad...
Much metta to him and his family.
Much metta to him and his family.
Through many of samsara’s births I hasten seeking, finding not the builder of this house - pain is birth again, again.
O builder of this house you’re seen, you shall not build a house again, all your beams have given away, rafters of the ridge decayed, mind to the unconditioned gone, exhaustion of craving has it reached.

My heart aches for his wife. It's a great loss if it's true. I will be dedicating the merit of all of my practice to James. Sabbe sattaa sabba dukkha pamuccantu.

To avoid all evil, to cultivate good, and to cleanse one's mind — this is the teaching of the Buddhas.

May you be well JC, wherever you are, in whatever state. My heart goes out to you, your wife and your family.

P.S. A look at JC's father's facebook page seems to confirm that JC has passed on:
