Check Out this article from the dasouth.com concerning Juan "Enock" James. I got a chance to meet this brother and the rest of the Cross Movement guys at a youth conference ten years ago (I am getting Old!).
Juan "Enock" James: July 12, 1974 to October 17, 2009
Saturday, 17 October 2009 13:40 | Written by Tre9
On Saturday morning, October 17, 2009, Juan "Enock" James was pronounced dead. While at his job in Houston, TX, he collapsed from what is most likely a severe heart attack. The autopsy results are not in yet to confirm the final cause of death. This was an unexpected occurence and a complete shock to his family, freinds and fans. All that is known of his condition is that he had hypertension and was on medication to stabilize his blood pressure, but nothing indicated he would suffer a heart attack.
Born on July 12, 1974 in Philadelphia, PA, Enock lived his life for the Lord until his death. Juan James was one of the founding members of The Cross Movement and is heard on Heaven's Mentality, House of Representatives and Human Emergency. In 2001, he relocated to Houston, TX to work on his solo album, AWEthentic, with Much Luvv Records. Earlier this year, Enock along with former label mate Cruz Cordero, made a guest appearance on the song "Da Body" from The Tonic's The Dash album. In Houston, he continued working underground with local rap ministries such as PHF Productions, AZA, CRS and Bless'T.
In Texas, he is survived by his wife Natalie James who gave birth to Jana James in 2005. In Pennsylvania, he is survived by Genesis James (9yrs), Juan James Jr. (11yrs.), and Chavonna James (17yrs).
