It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of the late James Howard.

Sunrise: 8th February 1966
Sunset: 30th August 2026
Aged 60 years young

James was the seventh of eight siblings and had an aura about him that could light up any room. He was a real character with a heart of gold, known for his kindness and generosity and always willing to help others.

He was deeply loved and adored by his four children, James, Jayne, Maxine and Mia, and was a devoted grandad to his seven precious grandchildren, Isabelle, Faith, Bailey, Lola, Bella, Tallulah and Tait.

James loved his colours and his bold clothes, and he was never afraid to stand out. His personality was just as colourful as the clothes he wore, and you always knew when James had entered the room calling everyone sweetheart and with the loudest clap and belly laugh you have ever hear.

James loved to travel, discovering new places, whilst music played a huge part in his life, with Bob Marley being his favourite always on around the house. He was always the life and soul of every party, bringing joy, laughter and his unforgettable spirit wherever he went.

Now reunited in the arms of his beloved Mum and Dad, his sisters Maureen and Pauline, and his great-nephew Luke.

James is currently resting at:

Desmond L Bannon & Sons
Cresta House, 43 Broadway, Liverpool, L11 1BY

Visits to see James at Desmond L Bannon & Sons can be arranged by appointment via 0151 26653 from the 22nd and 23rd September

His final farewell journey will be at 10:30am on Friday 25th. The service will be undertaken at 12:00 noon GreenAcres Rainford Park, Blindfoot Road, St Helens, Merseyside, WA11 7HX

Following the service, family and friends are invited to Woodland Members Club, 36 Mill Lane, West Derby Village, to come together and celebrate James's life.

James will be forever loved, remembered and cherished by all who knew him. We may never see your face again or hear your infectious laugh, but your memory will live on in our hearts forever.

Forever in our hearts.
Until we meet again. ❤️ xx

To my kind hearted uncle James! I can't believe we're here again so soon after Pauline. A loveable rogue with a heart of gold. You beat to your own drum and and couldn't care less what people thought. I loved that about you! What you see was what you got! I will miss your unique laugh, your quirky dress sense, your fast talking stories, your mad dance moves but most of all your presence. Forever loved forever missed, your broken hearted niece, Dominique xxx

To my kind hearted, big personality, uncle James! I cannot believe we're here again so soon after the passing of our beautiful Plum. You had a heart of gold and a retro style only you could rock. You couldn't have cared less what anyone thought and you beat to your own drum. So many admirable qualities in someone who really was the salt of the earth! What you saw was what you got and I loved that about you! I will miss your kind ways, your unique laugh, you unique style, your dance moves but ultimately your presence! Forever loved, forever missed your niece Dominique ❤️

My Uncle James. I cannot believe I am writing this or that I will never see you again. You were the kindest and most generous uncle with such a big heart. I will cherish all of our memories. I am eternally grateful that the last time I saw you we had such a big chat and heart-to-heart, I would never had guessed that was the last time but I will hold onto that memory forever. Your ever loving niece Roisin xxxx
