A POEM TO A WONDERFUL BROTHER
We think of you in silence
We always speak your name
We have so many memories
And your picture in a frame
We do not need a special day to bring you to our minds
Since days we do not think of you are impossible to find
We think of you when we play but that is nothing new
We think of you with love today
We are always with you
You are now our guardian angel watching us from your place of rest
Heaven must be a beautiful place
For God only takes the best
God please look after James
Don’t let him walk alone
After all, this is his first time away from home
Until we meet again

James
We have lost a son, a brother, an uncle and a friend. We meet in shock, pain and sorrow that James is no longer with us. But although James is no longer a visible part of our lives, he will live on throughout our lifetime in your memories. The exceptional part he played in our lifes can be remembered, understood and celebrated through his story. The way to keep James in our hearts, in our minds and in our actions is to celebrate the life that he led. James was indeed well respected and well loved.
There is and never will be anyone in the world quite like James. I know that his sudden and tragic death will have been a dreadful shock for you all and I have no doubt that you will still be struggling to come to terms with what has happened. When an old person dies, we may grieve, but we can more readily accept that their life has been lived and has drawn to an inevitable close. But the death of someone so young and in such dreadful circumstances is so much harder to bear. We not only mourn the life that was, but also the life that might have been. But as one writer said:
“By dying young a person stays young for ever in peoples’ memories. If they burn brightly before they die, their light shines for all time”.
So despite our sorrow. it is important to remember that in many ways, the world is a richer place because James was once a part of it.
James Hume was born in Glasgow on the 4th of November 1993. Child of proud parents, Jim and Wendy. and wee brother to older siblings, George, David and Amanda. Soon the family expanded, with the arrival of James’s wee sister, Samantha. James was a bright and happy wee boy, who from an early age displayed a thoughtful and caring nature. He developed an early fascination with nature and dinosaurs. and was never short of friends. The family recalled early holidays to places like the caravan in Waymes Bay, where James delighted in playing with his siblings by the sea.
At school, James was a creative lad and excelled in Home Economics. A subject he would later expand on in further studies. He was also a popular and sociable boy, who made friends easily. anyone who knew him, knew he was a gentle giant.
As James matured into a young man, he became passionate about his dance music. James also enjoyed science fiction tv series and zombie movies, and what bordered on an obsession with the movie, Titanic.
In recent years, James had became an Uncle to David, Leon, Candice and DJ. James was close to all his nieces and nephews as they came to delight in his fun loving nature and abundant warmth and affection.
He also continued to enjoy holidays with the family. Just a couple of fond memories the family have are, of seagulls trying to steal James’s chips in Ayr, or waking up in Blackpool, convinced that someone had left a chicken curry in his bed. His brothers knew only too well that it was the result of a few too many vodkas. James also recently had the chance to travel abroad with mates, but probably wisely, never revealed too much to his family about what went on there.
After leaving school, James went on to study travel and tourism and catering. He enjoyed his studies and was a popular addition to the course, making many new friends. James was the life and soul of any party, and had plans to become a chef on the new Titanic. Something that he had set his sights on, and I have no doubt would have went on to achieve. James was at his prime with a bright future ahead of him. It was therefore a terrible shock to everyone, when tragically, James passed away in his sleep after returning home from a party, on the 3rd of February 2013.
James was a caring and sociable man. He possessed a jovial and unique sense of humour. He could at times be stubborn, and certainly relished in a good argument, but was also a sensitive and thoughtful guy who endeared himself to anyone who was fortunate enough to know him. A man who really was as big in personality as he was in stature. His strength of will, proud independence and generous nature is an example to us all, but the thing that was most important to James was his family and loved ones, it was they that gave him his greatest joy in life and he was at his happiest when in their company.
You will each have shared a unique relationship with James and I’m sure that you will all feel privileged to have known him. And even now, although in one sense, he is gone, a part of James will live on in each of you. None of you will ever forget him and I hope that when you think about him, you will remember his smile, his wicked sense of humour and his magnetic personality.
Although he may no longer be here in person, James leaves behind a rich personal legacy of love, caring, and humour that will surely live on through his dear parents James and Wendy, his siblings, George, David, Amanda and Samantha, his nieces and nephews, his many friends and the generations no doubt still to come. In this way, his influence in the world continues.
