James was released and promptly picked up and out of IDOC on May 28th, 2004.  With looks that turned the heads of many women and envious men, K.F. was certainly a man.  He had hair longer than most of his sisters and a body that was lacking any fat content.  However, it was his spirit that would leave us pleased.  He insisted he be photographed everyday, for 12 days.  As if he knew in his heart without disclosing this to his family, that he would be departing soon...

In the "world" only 12 1/2 days. On his 13th day home, the Aurora Police Department announced the horrific news of his murder.  His body was harmed, yet his spirit was immediately taken into GOD's embrace.  As if to remind each and every one of us, that we are born to die.  The body is only a chamber for the spirit.  And James possessed a calm and endearing spirit. He was known for his humble demeanor and calm tongue.  He spoke intelligently when he was angry and was not habitually impressed by wordly things.  He deeply loved his family and would only expect for them to give him the opportunity to give us a homecoming celebration- when we meet him again!!!!!!
