James Robert FENTON

I still miss you everyday dad, the more time goes on the more I look back and see how much of a legend you really were, hope alls ok now where ever you are

I miss you every second of every day I cannot believe you left us as you did Im angry but I cant believe that you wont just turn up and tell me what to do I love you Jamie

Shonagh, Sam, Hamish and Haidee - my name is Mark and I worked with Jamie in Dunedin in 1995. Jamie impacted my life so strongly as a man who was committed to excellence in medicine but knew about balancing his private life with his personal life. He once told me that when he was interviewed for his place as an Orthopaedic trainee, he told the panel that the things he likes doing is going for walks with his wife and family. Jamie is one of the strongest memories that come back from that time of my career. I would hear Jamie call home almost every day from the shared office we worked in and always talk to each of his kids in a way that made me know he cared. I only found out about his passing later this year and I am so sorry for your loss. I pray that God will speak to your hearts and keep you strong in hope even in the wake of such a tragedy. We never get over it but we can get on with it. Love from the Sherwood family of Island Bay, Wellington.

Am Totally Shock By hearing of Jamie's Passing. Jamie did my Bilateral hips in 2007. I was the first in Rotorua Hospital to be done by him. 10 years later they are still strong. Amazing Surgeon and a real nice person. To his Family, be proud, as his work lives in many of us.

My Deepest Sympathy to Jamies Family.I am Truly Sorry for your Loss.Like so many others,Jamie gave my life back with Knee replacements,but also was such a Caring person and a dear friend to my husband and I..I want to send a Big Hug to his wife and children and also to his Lovely Taupo Receptionist Sally..The Bond you both shared over the years,i can't imagine,how you are handling Jamies Passing..Please know that my Loving thoughts are with you all.

I am very sad to hear that you have travelled back to Heaven ahead of us ... really really sad ... with love to you Shonagh, Sam, Hamish, and Haidee ... xxooxx a very sad time ... :( :( :( xx Julena Meroiti

So sad to hear the passing of Jamie... A great surgeon with a great personality & memory.
I saw Jamie only a few months ago to book for surgery to my knee, he remembered me from previous surgery 18yrs ago!!
Thoughts are with your family & friends at this sad time.
Rest easy Jamie

To Jamie's family, I am so sorry for your sad loss. Jamie was an amazing talent that will truly be missed. He gave me a knee replacement 9 years ago. Thank goodness for you Jamie, you gave me my life back.
I will miss your sense of humor which always made anyone smile. Rest easy Jamie, you were the best!!

I guess that it is true what they say that "only the good die young".
God Bless you Jamie Fenton, you and your endeavours will never be forgotton.

To Jamie's family
Find some comfort from the fact that there are hundreds of people that have a life that has been changed by his amazing surgery. Like these people I had a hip replacement nearly 6 years ago which has allowed me to still have a very active life. I thank him everyday.
My very special thoughts to you all at this difficult time.
Diane Travis ( LMC Midwife )

Jamie. You were a lovely person with such a nice personality. I feel blessed to have known you very briefly when I had to see you about a medical problem.I call you Jamie because you asked me to. Mr Fenton, Jamie, may you rest in peace. Thank you. Heather King.

Shonagh and family - words cannot express our sorrow on hearing of Jamie's passing. I was priviledged to know Jamie and work with him for many years. He was my most favourite 'boss'. So kind, generous in time and down to earth. He would growl me if I put two back appointments in a clinic for him - his growl was like a kittens growl. So gentle in nature and all his patients adored him from the little old ladies to the young ladies who thought he was a bit of all right! Jamie,Your memory will remain in our hearts forever. RIP.

As a practice nurse in Taupo Health Centre I was shocked to hear of Jamie's sad passing. Condolences to all Jamie's family. A huge loss to our health community. Prayers and thoughts throughout your family's healing. Sue Monkman

So sad to hear the news of Dr Fenton passing away, such a nice guy with an amazing sense of humour cant belive it.

I only met James for a brief time when he performed a miraculous surgery on my wife's Clare's hand a very sad lost to the orthopaedic world.rest in peace James you will never be forgotten

So sad to read of James's passing in the Taupo Times just today...he was an awesome person and great surgeion. Loved his sense of humour, which we both shared when coming for checkups,he did beautiful work on my really messed up knee. Never thought such a lovely man would have passed so soon. Sincere condolences to the family

Jamie, Brother-in-law and loved friend of Shane and Aileen. Favourite uncle of Dylan, Olivia and Finn. Always remembered fishing at the beach with beers and music on the deck! You are sadly missed, rest easy Jamie.

Jamie...I am devastated by this news..it's not so long ago I saw you. Thank you for the care you've given me over the years. I am forever grateful for the excellent results of your work and have the beautiful clean scars to prove it!! Your humour and cheekiness each time I arrived with a broken 'something' will always be a happy memory even with you telling me I was a walking disaster lol.

My sincere sympathy to your family and my prayers that they may find peace in the times ahead. I pray you find your peace Jamie God rest your soul.

Moe mai ra Jamie....Moe mai ra I raro I te korowai o to tupuna me te Atua. Ma te Atua koe e manaaki e tiakI koutou to whanau Katoa. Moe mai ra. Arohanui Te
