I met my cousin James in person in June 2025 while on vacation in Bermuda after texting and speaking with him for a couple years. He joined us at a restaurant and he took over telling us all about Bermuda and his family.
Time was short so my sister Donna and I only had time to visit the matriach, the elegant Mrs Raynor and his lovely wife Antoinette.
How I wish we had more time to spend with him and meet the rest of the Tweed clan, but God knows best.

The entire family on our family chat miss his daily messages that were always filled with love and a sound message.

Gine too soon. Sleep in eternal peace James

I am so sorry for your loss! When my sister, Julie, and I arrived in Bermuda, last summer and reached out to James, he immediately put everytadude and came to greet and meet us. James was warm, friendly and generous! He was a lifeline between the Tweeds of Bermuda and those of St. Kitts. He introduced us to his Auntie with whom we spent several hours viewing old photo albums and photos, learning of our connections. This was a priceless experience! Thank you, James! May you RIEP

To Jimmy´s wife,children, family and friends, you have my deepest condolences. I was shocked when I heard that Jimmy had died. I last saw him in November when I took my mother for a drive to St Georges. We chatted for a while about how my mother made the best potato salad and asked how my son Darren was doing. Jimmy was always the same, you heard him before you saw him and always had a big smile on his face. The last words that he said to me when I was leaving was " tell Darren I love him" May God comfort and give you strength as you go through this difficult journey. Hold on to the many memories you had with him. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. There will be a better after while.

Antoinette, Jamika, Michellae, Makari please accept my deepest Condolances on the passing of your Husband and Father, James came into my life when just a little baby, James would acknowledge you were ever he was, he would stop traffic to speak and let you know he saw you, his big smile and bear hugs will be a miss, although through the years we didn´t see much of each other but he never forgot what we meant to each other.
Carolyn and Jack will be so surprise to see their baby boy United with them so soon; but God saw Jim´s suffering and made the decision that he needed to come home with Him.
Take comfort that God will take care of the family that Jim left behind and He will wipe away all tears from your eyes that will come at unforeseen times.
Hold on to the many memories good and bad because they will sustain you in the days ahead.
God´s blessing on you all and know my prayers are with you.
With much love Aunt Rebecca and Family.

Going to miss you, my friend James.When I received the news of your passing, I was completely shocked and in disbelief. My heart was deeply saddened. You were a man who always tried to find good in everyone you met, always with a smile and a kind word.

I have known you for many years and remember when you first started playing for the Devonshire Colts Football Club-such a hardworking and dedicated player. There are so many memories, but one that stands out is when you had your first daughter, Jamikia. She was truly your pride and joy. You and Jeff would often bring your daughters to the games, and they became good friends.

The memories are many, but the one that will stay with me for as long as I live is the genuine care you had for people as a whole. I will miss our little chats and your uplifting spirit.

To James' entire family and loved ones, I'm proud to have known, James and I have you all in my thoughts and prayers. He was loved by all and will truly be missed. James, be with the stars above, where you belong.
God speed. Shahidah forever

To the Family,

I send my prayers and deepest condolences as you go through this difficult time in your lives. I met James (aka Jimi) when we were both playing football for the Devonshire Colts. He was always well liked and respected by everyone at the club and that remained after he stopped playing league football. I'm sure everyone who knew him are saddened by his passing. He will be missed but never forgotten!

God bless,

Norvell Furbert Jr.
