He was in collision with a blue Vauxhall Vectra being driven by a 35-year-old man.
James suffered serious head and chest injuries in the collision and was taken to Rochdale Infirmary. He was later transferred to Hope Hospital, where he died shortly after 10am on Saturday 29 September.
Cousin
I can't believe it's been almost 4 years since you were taken from us and that horrendous day I got the phonecall just hopping and praying it was a horrible ill informed rumour. Not a day goes by I don't think of you, expecting to see you walking your dogs just near the subway every time I pull off the motorway or bumping into you having a little catch up around milnrow as we used to. I think of where you should be right now just as I'm starting Uni and how much you would of achieved in life as we all knew you were destined for great great things. You were so intelligent and this is what I found so hard to comprehend you had so much to offer that I'm sat here crying now at just the absolute loss. I always protected you in school little cuz checking you was keeping out of trouble, not that i had any reason to worry you were always years maturer than me haha I will always treasure your memory James I really will. And what makes it easier is the memorys of you, the successful bright charismatic young gentleman you were it was a pleasure knowing you and an even greater pleasure to call you my cousin. Love you and miss you more than you could ever know. All my love in the world your big cousin Siobhan xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Still in my memory :)
Well I know this is late, it has been nearly four years, but I just found this because I wondered if there was something like this out there for you and I still think about you all the time. It was one of those moments when you remember exactly where you were and time sort of slows down.
It sounds silly because we hadn't really spoken for a year or so but you really impacted my life and my memories :) I remember your face so clearly and that's strange right? cause I sometimes forget what peoples faces are like hours after I leave them!
I remember you as this gorgeous, cheeky, fun- loving, amazing guy who brightened up my life and left so many fond memories and I know you just made everyone smile where ever you went (and I'm not just saying that to be nice there was something about you that was just so special and igniting). I remember your smile and what you used to say and it makes me smile still :)
I'm so sad that you're gone because you really were a beacon of joy. But I am glad to say that I am so happy to have known such a wonderful guy. I mean I feel blessed to have even spent the little time we had together. i am so lucky to have had that opportunity! We will thank similar interests :)
I remember you being so passionate about some things, like the song Cabron by The Red Hot Chili Peppers (you said it was their best song). Infact you loved them at the time I think Snow was released not long before we met. You made me laugh so hard! I remember Oracle was your dream and you used to wear that Oracle jacket so much it was your favorite!
There was never a bad time with you and that's why these memories are so perfectly preserved :) There is nothing to spoil them, nothing I would want to forget.
But, if there is one single thing that makes me think of you though, it is the song we used to listen to on repeat and the song you sang to me in that super sweet soft voice you had when you wanted to turn it on :D
And that is Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol. I wanted to put the lyrics up here as a tribute to you because it makes perfect sense to me because our time was like that. It was so special and I haven't quite captured this with anyone else :P
I hope you are happy where you are. Although other people don't believe in this stuff I am pretty sure we will meet again.
We do it all, everything, on our own.
We don't need anything or anyone.
If I lay here, if I just lay here,
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
I don't quite know how to say how I feel.
Those three words are said too much.
They're not enough.
If I lay here, if I just lay here,
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told before we get too old.
Show me a garden that's bursting into life!
All that I am, all that I ever was,
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see.
I don't know where, confused about how as well,
Just know that these things will never change for us at all.
If I lay here, if I just lay here,
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
A Poem for Jamie
Hello there the angel from my dreams,
That shining star in the dark,
The person that will guide me from danger,
We live our lives the way we want to,
You know where to find me,In my dreams in my prayers,
You will be with me forever.
Jamie

When tomorrow starts without me
And I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't cry
The way you did today
While thinking of the many things
We didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you.
And each time that you think of me
I know you'll miss me too.
But when tomorrow starts without me
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name
And took me by the hand.
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
I looked towards the clouds today
And for a moment saw your face.
I wondered just where you have gone
With hope it's a better place.
Did you show yourself to me today,
To tell me you're all right?
Or was it just a daydream
Playing tricks upon my sight?
We will always feel the void inside
Because you are not here.
But each new thought you send our way
Lets us know you're near.
So until our journey nears its end
And we hear the angels sing,
We'll face each new day as it comes
And live off the love you bring.
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Life is but a stopping place,
A pause in what's to be,
A resting place along the road,
To sweet eternity.
We all have different journeys,
Different paths along the way,
We are all meant to learn some things,
But never meant to stay.
Our destination is a place,
Far greater than we know,
For some the journey's quicker,
For some the journey's slow.
But when the journey finally ends,
We'll claim a great reward,
And find an everlasting peace,
Together with the Lord.
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Thoughts Today Memories Forever

Your melody
The beautiful song that was you has vanished,
my world so empty when you had to go,
never more to see your smiling face,
never more to watch you grow.
At first I was to sad to hear you calling,
I wouldn't believe that you had gone,
why was it you had to leave us,
why did I have to carry on?
but you were not content to watch us grieving,
you urged us on to search for you,
your love was pouring down on us,
your music trying to play through.
Now once again we hear your music,
we know you haven't really gone,
the love we shared is never ending
your melody will linger on.
one year today james, it still hasnt hit home you know, every day, i go to college, and sometimes think to myself, hmm wonder if hes about..... you will neva be forgotten mate... promis
Even though we had never met, I know what a fine young man you were. Your Mum and Dad are so proud of you, and I know how proud you would be of you Mum and Dad.
Not a day goes by when you are not in someones thoughts. You are sadly missed.
We do not need a special day
To bring you to our minds.
The days we do not think of you
Are very hard to find.
Each morning when we awake,
We know that you are gone.
And no one knows the heart ache
As we try to carry on.
Our hearts still ache with sadness
And secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you
No one will ever know.
Our thoughts are always with you,
Your place no one can fill.
In life we loved you dearly;
In death we love you still.
Miss You

Always Thinking Of You.
Even though you've been gone nearly two months now, i still think about you. In school, we talked. But in college, we began to get closer as you were in my tutor. Then, one the day we had tutor, you were gone. I hate that lesson now. It feels empty without you there. Miss you xXx
