Life Story

Born in Barnsley past away in Whitby Woodsmith Mine.

Early Years

James was always one of the lads and had a lot of friends from a young age. Stephen, Michael, Jason, Ian, Christopher, and Rob to name a few were always getting up to mischief. They stayed lifelong friends. He also made many more friends once we moved to Oakwell but the one he was always with was Scott. Scott became his left arm and was always his go-to friend these two were the best of friends and went all over together. Craig his cousin was always there in the mix with them all and Dalton was never far behind.

Family

James has a brother and sister whom he loved very much. And a beautiful daughter Matilda who was the apple of his eye. He also has two beautiful dogs Franky and Pongo.

Professional Achievements

James hated school but knew what he wanted to do early on. He wanted to be a steel erector like his grandad and father. He achieved this and much more traveling the world to do his job. Everyone at school said that James would amount to anything but he surely proved everyone wrong and achieved alot in his short life.

Passions & Hobbies

James loved walking his dogs Pongo and Franky and going on bike rides with Matilda.
