Mr. Clinton "CJ" Jamison, III

Clinton "CJ" Jamison lll, 44, answered God's call peacefully on Saturday, March 28, 2026. He was born on February 26, 1982, to Clinton Jamison Jr. and Vicki Bradshaw Jamison in Kansas City, KS. CJ was a man who loved deeply-his children, his family, his friends, and above all, God. His humor, energy, and unmistakable spirit brought joy wherever he went, and the love he gave will live on through all who knew him. CJ was preceded in death by his grandparents, Clinton Sr. and Barbara Jamison, and Wilburn and Bobbie Bradshaw. CJ graduated with honors from Olathe North High School and attended Kansas State University on academic and track scholarships. As an athlete - affectionately known as "Kobe Jamison" - CJ earned All-Big 12 Conference honors in the Long Jump, Triple Jump, and 400-meter relay. A gifted student and natural leader, he stood out both academically and athletically from an early age. CJ was known for his infectious smile and unforgettable laugh. You always knew when he was present laughter followed. He had a unique gift for easing even the most serious moments with perfectly timed humor - often saying exactly what everyone else was thinking. Beneath his humor was a quiet strength and steady presence that drew people to him. CJ's foundation was rooted in faith. He was raised at Mason Temple Church of God in Christ under Bishop William H. McDonald and later became a founding member of New Hope Church of God in Christ in Olathe, Kansas, under Superintendent Terry L. Bradshaw. There, CJ served faithfully as a Sunday School scholar, choir member, youth department worker, and officer within the college outreach ministry. He traveled nationally and internationally ministering to young people in Washington, D.C., England, and the Dominican Republic. As a member and leader with Bread for the World, CJ helped lead street ministry efforts and athletic outreach events. Fluent in Spanish, he often guided ministry teams abroad, helping keep their mission focused and impactful. Later in life, CJ became a faithful member of TrueVine Pentecostal Church in Murrieta, California. During this season, he experienced renewed passion and spiritual growth, recently completing the NextSteps course of study through the School of Discipleship Ministry. CJ remained a shining light of faith, encouragement, and compassion to all who crossed his path. During his marriage to Ivelisse Altoro, CJ was blessed with two beloved children, Carlos and Selena, who were the center of his world. Whether attending Dodgers, Chiefs, Lakers, or Golden State Warriors games, CJ made sure Carlos and Selena were often by his side. He had the privilege of coaching Carlos in basketball and baseball and coaching Selena in basketball, cherishing every moment spent encouraging and guiding them. His greatest desire was to see his children thrive and surpass him in every way. CJ had a heart for people, especially children. He began his career as an elementary school teacher before transitioning into the insurance and financial services industry, where he worked for over twenty years. Throughout his career, he served on numerous professional boards and remained actively involved in community and industry organizations throughout Southern California. Surrounded by family and friends, CJ peacefully prepared to meet the Lord. Among his final words were, 'I'm going to see y'all up there. I ain't scared. God told me to have peace." He leaves to cherish his memory his loving parents, Clinton and Vicki Jamison; his brothers, Stan and Desmond; his children, Carlos and Selena; and a host of extended family members, friends, and loved ones. Though our hearts are heavy, we do not grieve as those without hope. We rejoice in the assurance that CJ now rests safely in the presence of the Lord he loved and served. Funeral Services will be held on Saturday April 18, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at Faith Deliverance Family Worship Center 3043 State Avenue KCKS 66102. Interment: Chapel Hill Cemetery. Visitation: 10 – 11 a.m. at the Church. Arrangements entrusted to Lawrence A. Jones & Sons Funeral Chapels. Condolences may be shared on our website lawrenceajones.com.
