JAMES WRIGHT FOLEY
1973-2014

"We have never been prouder of our son Jim. He gave his life trying to expose the world to the suffering of the Syrian people. . . .We thank Jim for all the joy he gave us. He was an extraordinary son, brother, journalist and person."
-- Jim's mother, Diane Foley, on Aug. 19, 2014

"Our Medill family is shocked and deeply saddened by the news of the murder of Jim Foley. He was a courageous reporter who risked his life repeatedly to seek the truth around the world. Jim endures for us as a beacon reminding us of the risks implicit in shedding light where inhumanity can take hold."
-- Medill Dean Brad Hamm (Foley was a Medill graduate)
