James himself/funeral


James Fordyce Alenson of Sudbury, formally of Natick, died Friday . He was 15.
James was born on July 28, 1991, in Newton to Jon and Carman. He attended the Lilja Elementary and Wilson Middle School in Natick and began his freshman year at Lincoln-Sudbury High School.
James worked part-time for the Natick Community Organic Farm and he enjoyed his summers at Camp Mi-Te-Na in Alton, N.H., and hoped to be a counselor-in-training this year.
James loved the New England Patriots, comedy and his family.
In a statement, the Alenson family said James “was always embarrassed by the adjectives we had to use to describe him: sweet, funny, kind, considerate, gentle. An innocent. Always the first to offer help, incapable of telling a lie, he was a genuinely good person in a world that under-appreciates how much joy that brings to the people around them. We will carry him in our hearts forever.”
James is survived by his parents; a sister, Grace; a brother, Grant; grandparents, James and Diane Grotton; grandparents Alenson; aunts; uncles; cousins; and many friends and acquaintances who also had the pleasure of knowing him.
Memorial and burial services will be private.
The family would appreciate that any memories and reminiscences of time spent with James, even a single moment or remark, be written and sent to the family at 365 Boston Post Road, Box 140, Sudbury, MA 01776.
