James sadly passed away following a brave two-week fight after undergoing emergency surgery for an aortic dissection.

We are raising funds to support his wife, Bex, and their young son, Ethan, during this incredibly difficult time.

James was a devoted husband and father, a proud Army veteran, and a dedicated volunteer with the RNLI. He had recently been awarded his 20 Years Service Medal in recognition of his commitment to the lifeboat crew and the countless lives he helped through his service. Throughout his life, James devoted himself to helping others, both professionally and within his community.

He was a much-loved family member, colleague, and friend whose loss has been deeply felt by everyone who knew him. James was truly one of life's genuinely kind, hardworking, and selfless people, always willing to help those around him.

Any contribution, no matter how small, will help provide practical support for Bex and Ethan as they navigate the difficult months ahead. Your generosity will also help honour the memory of a remarkable man whose kindness, service, and dedication touched so many lives.

Thank you for your support and for helping us celebrate James's life and lasting legacy.
