James Henry Beckett b. Oct. 31, 1955 d. Sept. 10, 2022
Jimmy Flowers – born James Henry Beckett – was born Halloween Eve. When he was 4 years old, his mother committed suicide by hanging herself in their Noe Valley flat, which led him to romanticize suicide, though he eventually grew out of it.
He was my boyfriend for ten years and my best friend for the last five years of his life.
