  7. James, my hearts is heavy with grief, but filled with gratitude for the incredible friendship we shared. You were more than just a mate – you were a brother, one of a kind, always solid no matter what. Your unwavering support and love meant the world to me over the years I’m devastated for your family, especially those beautiful kids of yours who will grow up with cherished memories of your love. Fly high, my friend, and know you’ll be deeply missed – till we meet again, rest in peace.

  8. I met James at the very young age of 13, I still remember that night and what he was wearing.
    Over the years he showed me true friendship, love, loyalty and respect.
    I remember sitting on his lounge room floor for 8 hours straight as we both watched YouTube videos and I let him practice on my hair because he wanted to be able to style summers for school, after hours of ouch, ouch, ouch I said lete teach you a messy bun and he finally mastered a low plat, but that’s the man he was and his children always came first.

    James and I had this wooden old go-cart and we made this dodgy parachute and he had this speaker playing black widow baby as I pushed him through the McDonald’s drive through.

    God truely chose that man to be a father and he made sure he did his best and it truely showed.

    When summer was born he knew that was it for the mischief and he switched up instantly and I was so proud of him.

    He was truely my first real friend and I will always be happy to share a story with a smile a tear a laugh but mostly pride ..

    Fly high and steady James..
    You truely deserved more then we could give you..

    Love always Sam xoxo

  16. As I sit here, I am finding it hard to put it into words as the shock hasn’t left me.
    I remember the countless adventures we shared in our teenage years. How thankful I am for those times.

    Despite the chaos and the mischievous trouble we found ourselves in, we always found joy in the simple things of life. James had a way of turning ordinary moments into extraordinary memories. He filled our lives with laughter, and his kindness and loyalty made his friendship special.

    How thankful I am that we were met each other and our group that never let eachother down. Always there for eachother that’s the best part about it.
    I’m sure all us boys will always cherish those crazy moments the late nights unforgettable chapter in my life. There’s so much I could say it so much and go on and on you’ve left deep impact in all our lives. I am so grateful to have you in my life brother until we meet again. Love ya mate.
