Dr James John Sinclair, age 48, was taken from us far too soon, passing away unexpectedly at home on Tuesday, 9th September 2025. A dearly loved son, father, brother, uncle, fiancé, and not forgetting his inseparable bond with his dog.
Born on a farm, where his fascination with tractors, mechanics, and electronics first took root, he carried that same spirit of curiosity into building his home for his family, constantly striving to make it more beautiful, secure, and inviting, with a pride and devotion that never wavered.
James had a strong passion for photography, capturing the world with a unique and thoughtful eye. He also had an extraordinary talent for fixing things — from everyday objects to complex problems — always offering a calm, steady presence and a willingness to help.
He touched the lives of many with his intelligence, warmth, and genuine kindness. He will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing and loving him.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly asks that donations be made in his memory to Prostate Cancer UK, a cause close to his heart.
