James Okello

James was a star at Ryde School, a clever young man and always a force for the good. I know this loss is felt keenly by the school community.

I was so sad to hear this news. I remember James from the time he worked with us in pharmacy. He was such a lovely kind soul and we all warmed to him, and loved him being part of our team. Sending love and prayers and strength to all his family.
I will always remember him as a very beautiful person. 🌹

I rember James from his time at the pharmacy. James was so kind and gentle. I am so sorry to hear of his passing and send all my love to his family and friends

I only knew James for a short time whilst working at St Mary’s pharmacy. He was such a polite, smart, gentle and kind young man. He was well liked within the team and by patients he dealt with at the pharmacy hatch. He had a lovely smile and always made me smile when I saw him. I was so sad to hear of his passing and send my thoughts and prayers to all his family.

I was so very sad to hear of James’ passing. I remember as one of our first DofE Gold expeditioners in the Lakes. A lovely smile, a kind young man and a good A level Maths student - an all round pleasure to have around. May the God of all mercy give you peace and your family the sense that you are now at peace.

Dear Martin, Dolores & Caroline,
Offering my sincere condolences to you and your families.

I will always treasure my fond memories of James and the times we spent together, especially in those early days of summer holidays when he and my brothers were playing together in the garden with Caroline - He outgrew all of us very quickly with his Okello height!

As he matured into a young man, his intelligence, combined with his calmness and kindness were amazing qualities which I will always remember him by.

Beautiful service and music for Jame's funeral in Navan this morning, very fitting for a very special and beautiful human being such as James.

With love,

Des

Memories of an ace on the tennis court and a friendly rival on stage. In fact, an all round good chap.
James: I wish you a safe and peaceful journey.

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time .

When I think of James, I remember much of what has already been mentioned; kind, gentle, athletic, intelligent (tall), funny, well mannered. I can still vividly hear his laugh which makes me smile. I am so sorry for your untimely loss of such a lovely man.

We hadn’t spoken in years, I had a missed call from him a few years ago, I tried calling him straight back but, sadly no answer. I feel fortunate to have been his friend and certain that we’d be catching up right where we left off.

Although my circle of friends was not the ‘typically cool’ bunch, it wasn’t just fun sleepovers and happy school memories. I fondly remember James driving whilst towing another friend of ours along, on rollerblades in an unused carpark - that’s right, pretty cool.

Rest easy now James, hope to catch up with you one day and we can drive it like we stole it, around a carpark.

Love to you, your family and friends

Charlie Barker.

Dear Mr.Okello ,Dolores and Caroline,
Our thoughts are with you .

My deepest condolences to James' family. I will always have very fond memories singing with and against James in all saints Church (he won of course) and competing in athletics. We later became good friends in a fantastic group of guys, sharing many a laugh and adventure. I sadly drifted apart with him after our time at Ryde, but i cherish the many years of fun times and adventures we spent together. James was a good man with a good heart. Rest in peace buddy

I worked with Mr Okello in main theatre St .Marys Hosp.I don’t know James personally Very saf to hear for his lost my Deepest Sympathy to the family and our prayers my his soul Rest in Peace

I am so very sad to hear of James's death. I didn't know him but worked for many years with Martin. My prayers are with you all. Fiona

I have just been notified by a friend and am so shocked and saddened. James was just an all-round sweet, lovable, kind person. At school he just got on with everyone. He was like this constant gentle fixture who was there with all of us. I spent time with him and friends a couple years ago and he was exactly the same, bit taller mind. He will be very missed. All my kind wishes and condolences to his family.

I was so sorry to hear about James's passing. He was always so kind, gentle and friendly at school. My thoughts are with you and your family at this difficult time.

We were very sad to hear about James and offer our sincere condolences to you and your family. We have very fond memories of the boys growing up together and he will be missed. Sincerely Jo and Mark

I am so sorry for your loss. I didn't know James especially well at school, but I do very clearly remember playing music with him; he was such a friendly, gentle and kind person.

Dolores, Martin and Caroline
We are so very very sorry to hear of James’s passing. We want you to know that our thoughts are with you.

Dear Dolores, Martin and Caroline - I didn't know James, your beloved son and brother but I know how much you all loved him and how broken-hearted you are.
I dont think anything can take your pain away but please know that the three of you are also loved.
Much love from me, Jane ( VIVA and RAW)

I thought very fondly of James throughout St. Thomas’ and Ryde school and always admired his character, I consider myself lucky he reached out and we got to talk a little last year. He had a kind and gentle disposition, was often caring for others- usually with a big bright smile. I’m very sorry for your loss, our family will be keeping you all and James in our thoughts.

I was so very sorry to hear of James' passing. I so fondly remember the times we had together, and remember my first sleep over with you all like it was yesterday! My deepest condolences to all the family and wish you all the best in these most difficult times.

Much love,
Matt
