It is with heavy hearts that we share the sudden and heartbreaking loss of our beloved James, who tragically passed away. James was a kind soul with a big heart, someone who made others laugh, listened without judgment, and had a way of making everyone feel seen and heard.

James was a devoted father to his baby daughter Maia, a protective, caring brother to his siblings & a loving son to his father and late mother. He always had his family at the forefront of his mind and he took on his friends as family as well. He touched so many lives and made such a big impact on everyone who had the pleasure of meeting him.

James was one of those rare people who left a mark on everyone he met. He had a beautiful smile, an amazing sense of humour, and the kind of laugh that made you laugh too even on your worst day. He was the one who always showed up, no matter what he had going on.

James faced silent battles with his mental health, and despite the love around him, he was overcome by pain that many couldn’t see. His passing is a devastating reminder of how important it is to continue raising awareness, compassion, and support for mental health.

We are reaching out to ask for help in giving James the farewell he deserves. All funds raised will go toward funeral costs and to support his grieving family during this incredibly difficult time.

If you are unable to donate, we simply ask that you share this page and hold your loved ones close. Let James’ memory be a reminder to check in on your mates, speak kindly, and never be afraid to reach out.

Rest easy, James. You are loved, and you will never be forgotten.
