James, this was a total shock! Although we havent seen much of each-other over the past few years, the childhood memories are still fresh and will always be remembered. I will never forget our 'Goonies' day out when you and me ended up stranded in the middle of a lake on a boat made of polystyrene blocks. I told everyone you started crying first......but in all honesty I think it was me.
You will be greatly missed by everyone.
Love to you and your family.
RIP fella.

A light of the highest magnitude has been prematurely & so cruelly extinguished. He was the light of any group he was with & his loss will be felt everywhere he had been by everyone who had ever met him. RIP James, it was an honour & a privilage to be your friend.

This was such a shock when I heard about James, I knew him when he was younger, and he used to hang around with my sons. My thoughts are with James family at this time. God bless James xx (Justin & Kevins Mum)

Top bloke J!

James,
I knew you for 10 years and you always put a smile on my face and cheered me up, even when you were a complete dog! I am going to miss you a lot! Best wishes to his family and his closest friends, Andy, Darren etc. We will all have a drink for you!

Trapped in the glorious years
within the memory of belief, lost of all grief.
Take the reasons,
which once seemed so clear,
but never mind, you have nothing to fear.
For you my friend will be, forever young,
Forever in the heart of memories.
Lost in the glory of all time,
the wisdom was there within that smile,
You see you could have told us,
there within lies the mystery.
So shed a smile, and grin a tear,
For you my friend, will be,
Forever young, Forever young.
Forever in the heart of memory,
We see not through or misery.
Forever young, forever young.
There's a new angel tonight.
It is truely tragic that such a fun loving young man has been taken from us. The world is a poorer place without James smile and vibrance. My heart goes out to his family and friends. There is a new angel watching over us all.. and you know he has all the other angels in stitches!!!

James, you were such a lovely young boy, and you grew into such a lovely young man, with an impish sense of humour. We didn't see enough of you, but then you always led such a busy life.
But we do have some wonderful memories of you, as a youngster in fancy dress at a party, or playing with your radio controlled car. And most recently we enjoyed so much the e-mails you sent while you were away on that great trip around the world.
You will be sorely missed, as a son, brother, uncle, grandson, nephew, cousin or friend.
Our condolences to John & Janette, Jane & Georgia, and the rest of your family and friends.
Rest in Peace, all our love, from your aunt and uncle, Carole & Lorcan, and from Martin, Lisa & John, Edward & Oliver

Sorry, I didn't know James, but I believe that he is Jan from Slimming World's son. Jan, my thoughts are with you at this sad time.
