Dear family
Words escape me but my dear James smile and humour will always be with us forever
May your family be strengthened and May the almighty raise up your dear soul
Your loving neighbours velvel and narelle
I met James when I was about 15, I thought he was the coolest guy I’d ever met! I idolised him. He looked out for me and always had my back. As we got older he became like an older brother. I always had his back no matter what. You really were life and soul and bought so many smiles and laughs to people’s faces. I can’t believe your gone, my heart is broken but know that you’ll always be with me. Say hi to mum from me! Love you brother rip💔♥️ xxxx

I went to school with James from 13-18 years old. He was an epic footballer and a real character with a dry sense of humour. He was always kind and friendly to me. I wish his whole family peace and strength at this tragic time. God rest his soul
James was the best Athlete in our school year. An incredible footballer, tennis and basketball player. A proper engine on him. I’ll always remember him eating packs of ready salted crisps before a game to avoid getting a stitch, and of course scoring the greatest header anyone’s ever seen. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. RIP JT
I met James in Sydney back in 2006. We became great mates straight away. We both worked for the same recruitment company and also lived together for a year or so. I have so many fond memories of him. One of the funniest guys and best characters I’ve ever met. He also had a great heart and was a generous and caring guy. I was devastated that I had not gotten the chance to see him in recent years and that he was taken from us too soon. Rest in Peace, JT. You will be missed and never forgotten. Love Nabil
James’s energy and cracking sense of humour were infectious. A brilliant sportsman, with a heart as warm as it was brave. It was an honour and pleasure to have had you as a schoolfriend, we had some great laughs along the way! My love and thoughts to all the family, farewell brother x
So sad to hear this awful news. James was literally one of a kind and will be very missed. We had a lot of fun growing up in Chiswick – ‘Taylor Time’ was often eventful, but he had a kind and loving heart and was a great mate. My thoughts and love are with all the family – so sorry for your loss x
I knew James well between 2012 and 2018 as were worked together on various finance roles – both as a Client and as a candidate. Put simply, he was one of the nicest guys I ever met – fun to work with, achieved results, all round great guy. Very sad to hear this news and I wish all the best to his family during this difficult time. A big loss
Lewis and I met James and Coralie when they moved to Anglesea st. James crashed our backyard party and we all became instant friends. What I loved about James was his kind and caring heart. He never wanted people to be left out or alone. He often was the connector, bringing people together to create new friendships. He was like family. We were grateful to spend a few Christmas’ together and feel like part of his extended family. He checked in on Lewis during his cancer challenges, and for that I will be forever thankful. His smile, his energy and he will be missed. He was so loved by so many people. RIP James
Heartbroken not to see James’ happy, lovely face again. Our friendship blossomed from the loss of our friend Ollie, when we were all younger but where we lost a true friend; we gained another, James. Who was more than worthy of filling our hearts with joy, love and so-much laughter. Now we have to bare this loss again, without him.
We will stay strong for you James, as you showed us how and keep our friendships dear. Your buddies this side of the pond, will forever remember the happy times spent with you and we will pray for you and your darling family, at this sad time and in the years to come. Love Ellie & Dave & Mick xxx
Very sad news to say the least…I met James around Bondi when I first arrived and hit it off with his crazy sense of humour – which I loved – always put on smile on your face. Gone too soon and deeply missed. RIP James.
I knew James from school days and he was usually at the centre of fun and mischief. I spent a few months with him in the Alps before university and we had such a great time. Within a few weeks he was one of the best snowboarders in the resort – so James! He is tied in with such fond memories of that time. A good guy with a big heart who made friends wherever he went. Very sad news. Sending love and strength to his family.
Remembering James on many a skiing and summer holiday and many a good time en famille with all the Taylor’s and all of our lot. Handsome, engaging – such fun to be with, a thoroughly charming and delightful boy and man. He will be sadly missed by so many people – what a tragedy – our hearts go out to Coralie and the children and all his wonderful family – so very sad.
A family friend from childhood, James was always so much fun to be around, and he brightened up our holidays together with his energy, humour and enthusiasm for life – as well as his incredible natural talent at pretty much everything he tried. I remember fondly meeting up with him in Sydney on my last visit – a real highlight for me and I think of it often. Sending lots of love to his family. He will be missed by many.
I met James in Sydney in 2007 when I applied for a role he was advertising. Turned out we went to the same school in London, we became friends and James got me a job at the company he was working for! It’s safe to say my life turned around and I wouldn’t have had the subsequent experiences and joys in work that I’ve had if it hadn’t been for him. He was a true gentleman as well, always looking out for people around him. He changed my life and will be very missed. My condolences to his loved ones!

James was a glorious toddler and boy . He was infectiously happy and we have lovely memories of him . So funny and a whizz on the slopes. Reading the tributes shows that he was a man loved by many . Sending much love to his family.
I only knew James for a short time over a couple of stints working in Sydney but I feel so privileged to have spent the time I did with him.
What I loved about James was his love of life and always putting smiles on peoples faces. And possibly the best rapper I’ve ever heard (Eminem had nothing on him)
Despite not knowing him long, when I was going through some tough times personally, he always reached out above and beyond and spent some really happy and hilarious times with him in Bondi.
I am so grateful to have met a wonderful guy and so gutted to hear this news – my love and prayers are with all his friends and beautiful family.
You meet many people in life, you don’t meet many James Taylor’s – he was one of a kind in a wonderful way x
