This site is a tribute to James. We have set it up to allow us to always remember not only our son, but the impact he had on so many people.
For details of the ride on the 16th of April, please click on the link in the “Events” section below
After James Death, a lot of lovely things were posted on his Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/james.rodd.14
The funeral was a very moving day and links to the recordings, some of the music and order of service are all on the Timeline tab.
Please feel free to leave stories, pictures, thoughts, or light a candle before you leave this tribute page. We read them all, and they give us strength and courage knowing how loved he was and what an impact he made in his life.
Our thanks to everyone who contributed. Adam and his exceptional team at https://sjmaddocks.co.uk/ and Simon and the whole team at https://www.ccwinch.org.uk/ who made us so welcome, and were so skilled and kind and accommodating, along with the team from https://elizabeths.kitchen/ who catered so beautifully for our gathering afterwards.
We have collected up 181 of the tea lights. At some point in the future, on a starry starry night with no wind, we will lay them out in a way that looks good and is a fitting tribute for a lighting designer. In the meantime if you did not get a chance to do one and would like to please get it to us. There is a picture in the gallery, taken on a board made 20 something christmasses ago for trains and zoos, as depicted by a second pic. Similarly we have a lot of order of services of anyone would like a copy, please let us know.
