Remembering Jamie

A life held close in memory

Jamie Lee Rappuhn was born April 22, 1978. Public records show he served in the U.S. Marine Corps — a part of his life that marked him as someone who answered a larger call to service. He died January 2, 2015; community and official records place his death in Flint, Michigan. Jamie was laid to rest at Great Lakes National Cemetery in Holly, a resting place for those who served the nation.

While available public sources about Jamie focus on a few key facts, those details point to a life that included devotion to duty and the bonds of military service. Being a veteran shaped many men and women of his generation; for Jamie, that service is a lasting and verifiable part of his legacy. The record of his burial in a national cemetery also reflects that recognition of his military role.

Public documentation about Jamie’s life and death is limited in the public record consulted here. What is certain is that he was a real person with ties to Michigan and a life that mattered to family and community. This remembrance honors Jamie by acknowledging his service and by treating the confirmed facts of his life with care and respect. His passing on January 2, 2015 is part of the public record, but it does not define the whole of who he was. He is remembered here for his service and for the quiet dignity that those facts suggest.

If family or close friends wish to add memories, photographs, or corrections to this page, those personal recollections will help round out Jamie’s story and honor the full life behind the public record.
