This page has been created in loving memory of our son James Rourke.

James died on 21st April 2005 on Grande Motte, Tignes, France doing what he loved the best, snowboarding off piste on fresh powder.

James was a free spirit who brought sunshine into everyone's lives. He lived for the next adventure and packed more into his 26 years than people have done in their lifetimes.

As parents we were lucky to have had such a beautiful and devoted son. James' little "sis" now has her own guardian angel
