James Neilson Obituary
James was born on August 12, 1993, in Calgary Ab, and later made Edmonton Ab his beloved home. He was known for his passion for cooking, family gatherings, and his deep love for animals. James had a compassionate heart, always showing kindness to everyone in his life.
He is survived by his grandparents Corneila Buckland and Rob Simon's, his parents Paula Sousa, Tony Sousa, Jerry Neilson, and Alana Neilson, his siblings Kaala Williams, Steven Williams, Kyle Williams, Charles Neilson, and Breanna Neilson, along with numerous aunts, uncles, and other relatives.
James was predeceased by his grandfather James William Neilson and grandmother Mary Elizabeth Simon's, as well as his grandfather Gary Nadeau.
A service to celebrate James's life will be held in Edmonton Ab, the city he cherished.
May he rest in peace.

Jaime was always there for anyone who needed her. She was a free spirit with a good heart. She was my best friend, more than my cousin. We grew up together. She was an aunty to my daughter, she was who I went to whenever things just weren't going right for me. Jaime would drop everything to help me when I needed her. She was always making me laugh. Not a day has gone by where I don't think of her and just how bright she would shine. She was a beacon of light to those around her. She wanted nothing more than to live her life freely and be accepted for she was. In life and in death I did and will continue to honour that. To honour her. She was courageous, brave, smart, talented, she loved music and dancing. She loved her chosen family and friends, she adored phoebe. Phoebe misses her so much. Losing her has been such a tragedy. You'll forever be in my heart and mind Jaime. I hope you're given 'em a run for their money. Setting those stars on fire.

I have so many memories. So many laughs were shared. James was more than my cousin, we were best friends. Every family gathering, I remember, it was James and me, while everyone else was with everyone else. I miss the talks we would have. I miss the laughs, the jokes. I miss how good James was to my daughter. Genuinely wanted to do right by her, and he did. Phoebe misses you so much, I miss you so much.

This was one of our favourite photos together. Nothing special was going on that day we were just visiting enjoying the weather. Those were our favourite times.

I can't even begin to describe my thoughts on losing James. He was my best friend. We cared so much for each other and there is no replacing him. I wish there was more I could do. More I could say. Praying for healing and comfort in these difficult times.
