Jimmy showing me around on my first visit to Halifax.

James was my Lead at Air Canada a few summers ago, and I will always remember him for his kindness, work ethic, and genuine positivity. We once talked about staying active, and I encouraged him to join GoodLife Fitness at the airport. Not long after, I started seeing him there regularly — always with a friendly smile and so much motivation. It’s hard to believe he is gone, and his passing is deeply heartbreaking and unexpected. I am grateful to have known him, even for a short time. My thoughts and condolences go out to his family, friends, and everyone who had the privilege of working with him.

So so sorry when we heard James had died, Lloyd, Megan Jenna and myself have such fond memories, just hit us like how did this happen. As neighbours on Rockhaven your whole family were so kind and we give our condolences and heartfelt sadness. Jill Robbins

James was the kinda person who would spend his vacation helping others, while still having time to make new friends,

Good people are often hard to find, but James knew how to find the good in people.

From all of us, thank you for making the Yukon that much more special.

James was an amazing person to be around, he took care of the people around him.  It was always a treat to share a few words with him about anything and he would never let it be known how disinterested he might have been. He was just a person who always showed interest and respected the people around him. Heartfelt condolences to the loved ones he has physically parted from. In spirit he will be there to guide and support you.

Jimmy was an awesome coworker and a great friend . I worked alongside Jimmy for over a year and I actually thought his name was Jimmy James . Wasn’t till 1 day he was sitting beside me and I looked up on the fids screen and saw “ Dale / James Mitchel cabin services” . I said who’s  James Mitchel and of course Jimmy says It’s me it’s me laughing with his funny laugh . …. You may be gone Jimmy but I’ll
Never forget you or your humorous laugh

Sending my deepest condolences to family on the loss of James. He was a wonderful friend over the years and he was taken from us way too soon.  You are all in my thoughts, and sending lots of love during this tragic time.

So very sorry to learn of James's passing. It was a true pleasure to camp, paddle, work and hike with James. He loved nature and being outside.  It was an honour to  have worked at Air Canada with James because he always worked hard and did the right thing.  He was too young to leave this natural world, leaving us with the memories of this truly wonderful person.

So sorry to hear of Jimmy’s unexpected passing. My heart is broken for that little boy losing his dad at such a young age. Please accept my sincere condolences to all of Jimmy’s family.

My condolences to James’s family on his loss…a young man gone way too soon. He went to school with my daughter and I always referred to her, Martin and James as the three musketeers.  I hope the memories you have of him will help guide you through the difficult days ahead.

So, so saddened to hear about James’ death. My daughters and I send our condolences. Your family was so good to us when we lost our beloved Tim. Judy Appleton
