James Calvin Payne of Perkinsville, Vermont, passed away unexpectedly
at home on Friday, January 17, 2014. Calvin would have turned 16 on
March 6.
Calvin had passions for aggressive inline skating, freestyle skiing,
parkour, and technology. He enjoyed photography, drawing, and making
things. Calvin was fiercely independent and adept at teaching himself
new skills and pursuing self-directed research into a myriad of topics.
Despite his young age, Calvin was an accomplished videographer having
produced several polished skating-oriented short subjects. Calvin had a
lifelong love of being outdoors and was fascinated by nature and
wildlife.
Calvin possessed a special energy and focus that will be sorely missed by everyone that he touched.
Calvin is survived by his family; parents Heather and James Payne,
his younger brother Mason, grandparents Patricia and Martin Clark of
Landenburg, PA, grandparents Susan and James Payne of Willow Street, PA,
and aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Arrangements are being made by the Davis Memorial Chapel of
Springfield, Vermont.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that
donations be made to the Springfield Humane Society in Calvin's name. http://www.spfldhumane.org/
The family will be holding a celebration and remembrance of Calvin's life in
the spring when it can be held out of doors.
A candlelight vigil will
be held on Tuesday, January 21, at 7:00 pm at the Compass School in
Westminster, Vermont.
