James had an uncanny ability to reach people in a deep and positive way. He Graduated in June 2006, He then went to work in Port Alberni at the Fish Plant and with Bowerman Construction before adventuring off to Alberta. After working a few different jobs in Alberta he moved to Fort St. John to work with Fraction in the oils fields in the fracking industry. After being away from home for 11 years he came home, met and started his new life with Nicole and was working at Windley Contracting.

James was always the life of the party, but was also always one to pitch in and help with whatever or whomever needed it. He had a heart of gold and was very well liked and loved by all.

We will all miss him greatly but he will always be in our hearts.

A celebration of James’ Life will be held at the Italian Hall, 4065 6th Ave, Port Alberni on Sunday Feb 9, 2025 from 12-4pm.
