MY GORGEOUS BOY,
You were born into this life as a single child and You have been my world for so many years, It’s ironic that you leave this world with more brothers, sisters and best friends than anybody I’ve ever known. You really were a perfect baby. As you grew into a toddler with all those freckles, I would tease you that they were all the kisses I blew on my belly.
Around the age of 5 you turned into my little Dennis the menace, always getting into trouble which we mostly laughed off. It has been my greatest joy in life to be your Mummy James. You went from being my troublesome teenager to my very best friend. Always taking me out for dinner where we would have some laughs together. You shared all your big dreams with me for your future and I would have done anything to help you achieve them. I’ve quietly watched the impact you had on so many lives around the world which is evident in all the heartfelt tributes and messages I am receiving; they are full of love.
James, you were so full of life. You will be a hard act to follow honey, and I know I will be lost without you! I’m sure there will be days that I will be waiting for the phone to ring and hear your voice “Mummy Mummy guess what” but of course that will be wishful thinking. I’m grateful for all the video voice notes you sent me, you never ended a conversation without saying “I love you” even when we were fighting. This loss will weigh heavily on people’s hearts for a very long time. You were such a unique soul, I don’t know anyone quite like you. You have many friends from all walks of life that love you, even your enemies loved you! You leave behind the love of your life Lenni with your little boy John John as you so loved to call him. Johnnie has now become my heart, James.
I promise faithfully to dedicate myself to looking after your family forever more. I love you, my gorgeous boy, more than my life. Aspire to fly high with the angels and be the biggest and the best in Heaven.
Until we meet again sweetheart, I am forever your Mummy
JAMES OUR SWEET BOY
“little Terror / little Angel”, Nanny and Pop Pop love you so so much … our famous motto will always be “ We love our grandchildren to the moon and back , we wish we had them first “ We had fun laughter and tears …. You are by our side now forever more xxxx

Last night I was told my brother was involved in a fatal car accident unfortunately due to his injuries he didn’t make it.
I always thought one day when we were older and both have children we would meet up a discuss about life, laugh about things we have in common or not,our lives have been distant but still knowing I have a brother. All I can say is life is too short, time is not on your side, don’t put off things as you don’t know what tomorrow will bring. James Lambert My brother
YMou came into my life as a hero, when I was going through one of my worst moments. To everyone we were like Bonnie and Clyde, inseparable. You always made me smile, even on my worst days with your silly dance and the way you always sang to me without knowing any of the lyrics. I will never forget every time you spoke to a foreigner, You would’ve put on that fake Jamaican accent.
James you were the BEST FATHER anyone will wish to have. From cooking with Johnny, teaching him how to ride his bike, boating, movies dates, and his favorite, taking him to the park. Your presence brought light to me and Johnny’s world. When we both found out about our second blessing, you were so happy and excited. You even started planning the gender reveal with my mom. Thank you for a lifetime of cherished memories. We had so many plans and now you are gone. Left so suddenly, without a proper goodbye. I would’ve never thought that, that night would’ve been the last time Johnny and I would’ve seen you. James You left us so empty and with so many questions. I feel so lost and broken without you. This feels so unreal. I really thought all this was a dream but unfairly it isn’t.
I promise to take care of our little family and to keep your memories alive. We will always love you and keep you in our hearts. Until we meet again Mi Amor. Te Amo.
y dearest Cuñis (Brother in law), My Twin! We were soooooo alike. Listen to me my sister always would’ve gotten mad at us because we were always recording or taking pictures of everything we did. Every time I saw/got a call from you, I knew it was something my sister did and You needed my hearing,opinion and for me to speak to her lol. Boy you really enjoyed life and I am soo glad that I was a part of it, of every laughter, tears, and most of all, all the fun we had together! You really was a brother, MY BROTHER. Thanks for everything and overall for always being there for me and Evan. I Will never forget every single moment we had especially Christmas 2023! We had a real Family Christmas. I loved your cooking just as you loved mine. I promise to protect and to be there for your kids as if you were here with them. I Love You and will always have you in my heart My brother. Take your eternal rest My Love.
LAMBERT / JEAVONS FAMILY
Dearest James , It’s hard to find the words to express how much you mean to us , and how much you will be missed. It still doesn’t feel real, but that is just because none of us want to imagine a world without you in it. You were one of a kind !!At family events , you’d have us laughing within minutes , no matter how serious the mood. It’s hard to imagine a family gathering without your mischievous ways , kindness, questionable taste in music. Gucci head to toe and wild stories. There’s a silence now where your voice used to be and its deeply felt. You will be in our hearts forevermore, we love you and miss you always, Aunty Jacqui , Kaylie and Alex xxxx
I still can’t believe I’m standing here trying to find words for something that just doesn’t make sense. Our James — Milky — gone too soon. It feels impossible. He was just the life and soul of every party, the one who could light up a room the moment he walked in. You always knew when Milky was around — the laughter got louder, the smiles got bigger, and suddenly everything felt
He truly lived life to the fullest. Every moment, every laugh, every memory — he threw himself into it all with that big heart and fearless energy of his. There has never been a dull day with James around.
My heart breaks for my Auntie Debbie. Losing her only son is something no mother should ever have to face. And for his little boy, Johnnie — your daddy’s spirit will live on in you. You’ll grow up knowing just how loved, funny, and full of life he was.
This year has already been cruel, and now this… that same gut-wrenching, sick feeling that knocks the wind out of you. It’s hard to understand how the world keeps turning when people like James are no longer in it. But we’ll keep his memory alive — in our stories, in our laughter, and in the way we live life just a little louder, because that’s what he would have wanted. Rest easy, my ‘Cuz’. You’ll never be forgotten. We love you, always.
TO MY DEAR JAMES,
It feels unreal to be saying goodbye to you. From the moment I became your Godmother, I knew you were so full of life. As a little boy, you were wonderfully boisterous and cheeky. You had that sparkle in your eyes—the kind that warned everyone that mischief was coming, but also that laughter would follow. You kept us on our toes, especially in those early years at LIS, but you filled our days with joy. And how you grew. Bit by bit, behind all that cheekiness, you grew into a lovable rogue as a teenager and then matured into a partner and father with a devotion that made us all so proud. Despite a few bumps in the road along the way, you started to carve out your career and were a responsible father. Every time you saw me, you would come up and shout ‘Hey Auntie Cath!’ and give me a big hug. Sometimes years would pass, but when we met your greeting was just as warm. I know that little Johnnie adored you, and you adored him just as fiercely. And knowing you had another child on the way filled you with hope for the future. The thought that you will not be here to meet your new baby is so heartbreaking, it’s hard to put into words. But your love, your character, your spirit—they will live on in your children.
My heart breaks for your family, especially Debbie and Lenni who must now carry a loss no words can soften. James, your life was far too short, and the loss is heavier than any of us can express. But I want to thank you—for the laughter of your childhood, for the man you became, for the warmth and the love you gave so generously. I am proud to say that I was your Godmother, Rest peacefully, dear James. Your family will carry your legacy forward. And you will never, ever be forgotten.
amesy you drove us all crazy but man did we ever love you Gucci boy … for ever and ever … we miss you and send you love always xxxx
I’m not gonna lie John James Lambert, I have had a very hard time with this one. Gone too soon are the words that just keep coming back over and over to me. As much as you were always getting in trouble, you were also this beautiful light of happiness and fun! And I loved it when you said my name in your broadest Bahamian accent - it made me feel so special. I watched you grow up. I watched you mess up. I watched you become chef noel, which I was so proud of you for, and then become such a loving daddy. And all that time you loved your mom and grandma so much. We’re gonna miss you little redheaded bugger, it will be very hard to say goodbye but just know we’ll be looking after your mummy, Lenni, you’re gorgeous boy and the new baby too. Try to behave up there, God needed you more - hope he was ready!
Love Cath
TRIBUTE TO MILKY FROM FLOCKA
(Isaac Butler)
You were more than my brother—you were my best friend. We shared childhood adventures, ridiculous inside jokes, and conversations that lasted into the night. You were the one I could turn to, the one who just “got it,” even without words. Life without you feels quieter, heavier, not quite right.
I still catch myself thinking of things I want to tell you, stories I want to share. But I’m also so grateful. Grateful for the memories, the laughter, the bond we built from the earliest days.
You gave me courage when I needed it, challenged me when I doubted myself, and reminded me what loyalty really means. I miss you every single day. But your voice echoes in my mind, your influence shapes who I am, and your memory brings both tears and comfort. You’ll always be my brother.
Fly high bro
Isaac Butler (flocka)
A TRIBUTE TO MY BROTHER
There are people who enter your life and instantly change the way the world feels — brighter, louder, funnier, more alive. That was you.
We weren’t just friends; we were a team. A duo. Partners in adventure. From latenight parties to early-morning laughs, we lived more memories in those moments than some people get in a lifetime. You had a way of turning every night into a story worth telling, every song into an anthem, and every room into a place where something unforgettable could happen.
But what I’ll remember most isn’t the parties — it’s the way you made people feel. You had this effortless ability to bring joy, to lift the energy, to make everyone around you feel like they belonged. You were the one who said, “Let’s go out,” but also the one who stayed late to make sure everyone got home safe. You cared, even when people didn’t always see it
MESSAGE OF GRATITUDE
We, the family extend our sincere thanks and appreciation to the many friends and family for each and every act of kindness shown to us during this most difficult time. Your prayers, visits, calls, messages and well wishes will always be remembered.
We Sincerely Thank Everyone of You
The Family
