It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of James McBride peacefully in hospital on March 6th, 2019. James will be greatly missed by his loving mother and brother, Erna and David (Catherine), his cousins Kim and Suzanne and family, and his special friend Debra Charlesworth and her family. Predeceased by his sister Erin (2010) and father Jack (2012).
James was born and raised in St. Catharines and was proud of his family's long history in the Region. He enjoyed many travelling adventures and time in his boat at the family cottage. At his home in downtown St. Catharines, he enjoyed "holding court" with friends on his porch and loved spending time with his cats.
Special thanks to the staff on 3A at the St. Catharines Hospital for their exceptional care and attention.
Family will receive friends at Hulse and English Funeral Home & Chapel 75 Church Street, 905-684-6346 on Sunday March 17th, 2019 from 1:00 to 4:00 PM. A Celebration of James' life will take place at 11:00 AM on Monday March 18th at Christ Lutheran Church, 140 Russell Avenue. A private family internment will take place at a later date. Memorial donations to Autism Niagara Region Chapter for Summer Camp programs or to the Haiti Lutheran Mission Society--Kids Feeding Kids (Erin McBride School Feeding Program) would be appreciated.
