It is with broken hearts that we share the passing of our friend, teammate, and forever a member of the MOTION family, James Gulley.
James was an incredible soul with an infectious smile and a presence that made the people around him better. He was a father, a son, a friend, talented soccer player, an avid runner, and an incredible HYROX and hybrid athlete. But more than any of those things, James was simply a wonderful human being.
If you knew James, you knew his smile. You knew his energy. You knew the kindness and positivity he brought into a room. He will be deeply missed by all of us who were fortunate enough to know him.
Our hearts are with Jamesâs son, his family, his friends, and everyone whose life he touched.
In the coming days, the MOTION community will come together to honor James and support his family. We will share more as those plans come together.
Life can be incredibly hard, and we donât always know what someone else may be carrying. Please be kind. Check on the people you love. Tell them what they mean to you. And if you are struggling, please ask for help.
James, we love you. We will miss you more than words can say.
Rest easy, brother. đ¤
We know many of you were expecting us to drop the link tomorrow for our upcoming HYROX event. Instead, we are sharing a much more important link.
We have created a GoFundMe to help support Jamesâs family and his son, assist with his services, and help us honor James and the incredible impact he had on so many of us.
If you are able, please consider supporting James and his family through the link in our bio. Whether through a donation, sharing the link, or simply keeping his family in your thoughts, every bit of love and support matters.
Today, this is what matters most.
