My brother died in a car accident 5 years ago. When we were young we had pooled our money for an AD&D Players Handbook and some dice. The time spent playing, just the two of us, and the fun we had together is some of my best memories of being with him.
Keep those kinds of memories close to your heart and he will be with you.
I for one will offer a prayer for you and yours - James probably does not need them at this point in his journey - those left behind need them more than those that pass on.
