My deepest condolences to the Martin and Capozzi families. There are just no words that can express this adequately. I met Jamie through business. While I knew him for less than 2 years and always in a professional setting, those traits I see frequently written about Jamie here made a big impact on me at a personal level. His bigger than life personality was driven by his warmth, welcoming, and overall positive attitude. While I live in SoCal and he in South Carolina, we were both 'Buffalo Brothers' who bonded over our 'hometown', the Bills, and general Bills Mafia spirit. He loved talking about how awesome Josh Allen is, not on the field, but as a person of character who…
Jamie was taken from us too soon. So hard to understand - there are no words really to explain it. But one thing is clear - he was a bright light that touched so many. All the heartfelt comments about him and feelings expressed are incredible. I was lucky enough to work closely with Jamie over the past couple of years on a very complex and significant business deal. We often talked daily, sometimes crafting emails together into the night trying to choose the “perfect words” that would resonate with our clients who were on the other side of the world. We became friends through the process, and we leaned on each other to keep our spirits up throu…
Sometimes in life you meet people who change the entire trajectory of your journey. For me, Jamie was one of those rare people. I first met Jamie in 2006 when we were partnered on an Autotrader Sales Blitz in Tampa Bay. I was only two months into the company then, and in that single week I learned so much from him—not just about our business and what it takes to be successful, but about integrity, preparation, and showing up for others. What began that week became a friendship that has lasted nearly twenty years.
Jamie was a friend, a mentor, and a role model for how to live a good life. He absolutely adored his family and spoke of them…
Dear Capozzi Family- Kristy my heart hurts for you and your extraordinarily close family and extend my sympathy to your sons, your mom, and your sisters and families. You are a true, and total, family unit and I am so sorry for your loss of beloved Jamie. JD
As I’ve read all the many heartfelt memories and sentiments about Jamie, one thing is so clear. He lived the kind of life we all aspire to live. Jamie lived for others and for their good. Never about himself.
For the many years I worked alongside him at AutoTrader…and then Cox Auto…we never left a discussion without talking about Kristen and his kids. And Jamie never forgot to ask about my family also. During one particularly hard moment at work a few years back, one that didn’t go our way, Jamie had nothing but thanks, gratitude, and optimism for a better day to come. And that day did come just as he said it would.
One day, and one way…
