Catherine Cade I have such lovely memories of James ... from a little boy playing for Hardwicke Rangers ... growing into a lovely lad that used to call at the house for James.. always chatty and such a pleasure to be around.. we had a fab caravan holiday in Dorset... finding a football washed up from the sea.. playing football with it on the beach and then Angus kicking it back into sea at the end of the day.... it was so great to find it back on the beach the next morning x x lots of love darling and you are thought of every day ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Alex Williams I will never ever forget all of the memories I made with you and your family for 10 years James, as Erins bestfriend. I will cherish those memories forever. My family send their love, we all miss you x
Jessica Pitt Oh James, I still don’t know where to begin to reminisce our memories together because I still can’t believe you have gone. Our time at Hartpury was hilarious we always had a right laugh our group chat was always full of one of us sneaking our phones out and getting mug shots of everyone in the room, you certainly made my time at college brighter with your cheeky ways. Although I cannot miss out on saying why and how we even got to know each other so closely at college, Lauren, you was unbelievably close and I was always in awe of what a beautiful friendship you two had. I will always be there for Lauren not only because she is still my close friend but for you James. I know you will protect her from where you are but I will always be there to be the physical hug you wish to give. Sleep tight James, I know your brightening up the room wherever you are. You are sorely missed.
Josh Clough What can i say. James was never really one for going out to town, but somehow he always found himself there and enjoying himself. He never took much persuading. He was always doing what others wanted to do because thats the type of person he was, forever putting everyone else first. Seeing others happy made him happy. Always knew how to put a smile on someones face no matter how different their personality was. He was however the biggest lightweight when it came to drinking. But that didnt stop him buying 20 shots for everyone else for no reason other than probably to show off a bit. Im pretty sure he didnt even have 1 of those shots! He was very good at getting himself home 4 hours before the clubs shut. After not seeing him we would receive a text later saying sorry mate gone home and would make up an excuse to why he 'had' to be at home. But we always knew that although his night was shorter than ours he still enjoyed it. He would talk about the nights more than we would almost like he had been there longer than us! He was very good at remembering every little detail about everything. This one time he had a few pints at the pub with me then we walked home and popped into the shop. He turns to me in the shop and goes 'ay Josh how funny is this' as he precedes to put a double decker in his pocket. The most innocent person you would have thought but no, he works away and comes back a different person! This was one of my best memories because it was just so out of his character and we were laughing about it all the way home. Wont ever look at a double decker the same. Love you James.
I remember so fondly you got in contact to see around possible Yacht contacts to pursue your adventures. Was so happy to share the ones from my friendships and then to hear it all going so well and you were loving it all was amazing. Message update from James “ Ow nice, yea I joined a bigger boat last year working for some American billionaire, we...
Jordan-Leigh O'Connor Today a year ago heaven gained an angel. This photo was taken over 3 years ago at Blue Lady! I remember you messed your whole drink on my dads lap and all he did was laugh and say bring another beer my boy. My parents were so fond of you just as much as I was! Even when you punched holes in my air bnb walls! I miss you, you crazy child I hope you dancing up there. I feel your energy when I walk around Antibes I know you always with us. See you on the other side buddy xxxx
Josh Clough Cant put an exact date because he was forever knocking on my door. Even if i didnt come to the pub he would always come for a catch up when he was home and tell me the ridiculous stories from working. Although never to sure what to believe when it came to James as he had his own way of sugar coating everything. But even so his stories are something i will forever cherish. He was always checking up on the people he knew were struggling and was always putting a light in our lifes. He still shines brightly in mine and gets me through most days. Oh how id love to see him come knocking on my door one last time. Love you brother❤️

Jordan Yip I remember the first time we met up in a while we went out with a bunch of friends and it was one of the funniest nights I had. We caught up and just talked about life and he had so many stories about work, the amount of people he's met and how much he loved what he was doing. It sounded as if he lived his best life and he did and that made me happy. I will say as well he was cutting shapes like nobody's business and I was jealous haha. Although I didn't have many memories with James I am privileged to have known him and he was one of the greatest friends I've had. ❤️
Vicki Mather We have known you for many years, I remember when Paula and myself did rainbows together and you would have to come along with your football kicking it around the hall, going roller skating at Stroud leisure centre of which you whip around like a true professional but by far the best memory was when we was on holiday in Antigua in 2018 and the yacht you was on was going to arrive in Antigua whilst we were there and you would be just down the road, so you came to our resort and it was exactly what you needed some familiar faces and stories of home and even FaceTiming Paula in rainy old England, it was a really lovely night and was so lovely to see you. Sleep tight Jamesy you have touch everyone life you have met and left a lasting lifelong impression and you are sorely missed by all xx
Sam Lovell My 21st birthday. James was really busy with work but still gave up the little time he had to come and see me on my birthday. We had great memories together. He will always be in my heart.♥️
