  1. Jamies name is spelled JAMEY

    I WAS ONE OF HIS BEST FRIENDS GROWING UP.

    I WAS AT THE FIGHT IN THE STATES WHEN THAT PICTURE WAS TAKEN.

    ANYONE KNOW WHERE JAMEYS DAUGHTER IS OR HOW TO GET IN TOUCH WITH HER, I HAVENT SEEN HER SINCE SHE WAS 3 OR 4 YEARS OLD.

    I BELIEVE JAMEYS EX MOVED TO WPG SAMANTHA WAS HIS DAUGHTERS NAME. SHE MUST BE 35 OR SO YEARS OLD.
