James Chambers III was a graduate of SUNY Cortland with a bachelor’s degree in business economics. He worked as a pool renovation specialist for several years after earning his degree, striving to open his own business. James was a graduate of Monroe-Woodbury Class of 2014 and was a starting varsity football player during his junior and senior years.
James was a fierce competitor, and in his senior year, the team won the Section 9 football championship and continued on to play in the 2013 NYSPHSAA football championship. James was recruited to play college football and played for Buffalo State. His rookie year, James was the only freshman chosen to travel and play with the team, and they won the 2014 ECAC Southwest Bowl.
In 2016, James transferred to SUNY Cortland, where he played rugby, joined a fraternity, and volunteered in the Cortland community as a youth football coach. James continued to play rugby after college. James was a rare combination of an exceptional athlete and an avid gamer. He enjoyed spending time with his friends online and loved to play Fortnite with his nephew Declan and Pokémon Go with his nephew Liam.
James was a great friend to dogs everywhere, and his rescue dog Teddy was never far. He spoiled dear Teddy almost as much as he spoiled his adoring nieces and nephews. Those who knew him well will miss his quick wit, care for those he loved, and unfaltering ability to make you laugh in any situation.
