About Jamie

Jaime's life can be looked upon as an impact statement.
Most things Jamie did left an impact in whoever's life he made contact in.

He was a fighter from day one. He came into
this world too early, as did he leave the same way.

His childhood was bright and he was a happy kid.
Jamie was talented and enjoyed music. This won him a scholarship
in music where he learnt to play drums.

Jamie left school early to work and rarely was he out of work.
Enjoying the outdoors, he found himself working in the horticulture world.
Despite how young Jamie was, he had a love for Roses.
The Rose was a flower that Jamie recognized as life.
He used to say
'From the minute a rose starts to flower it's destined to die - it's just like life.'

In 1998, Jamie was first on the scene of a fatal accident,
one that had haunted him for months afterwards.
A drunk driver had ploughed into an innocent mans car,
throwing him from the vehicle.
Jamie had managed to help the children that were also in the car
and tried to help the injured man.
The man later died in hospital despite all efforts.

It seems ironic how Jamie himself, despite knowing how vulnerable we
all are on the roads, died the very next year as a passenger in his own car.
