Athol James Obituary

With heavy hearts, we announce the death of Athol James (Christchurch, South Island), who passed away on June 25, 2025. Leave a sympathy message to the family on the memorial page of Athol James to pay them a last tribute.

As we bid Athol farewell, let us not mourn the absence of his physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of his spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Athol is not truly gone, but merely transformed, his energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.

He was loved and cherished by many people including: his wife Anna; his children, James (Eva) and Kirsti (Alex); his grandchildren, Josephina, William and Nathaniel; and his siblings, Errol (Colleen), Malcolm and Lynley (Gary).

In lieu of flowers, donations to Diabetes New Zealand would be appreciated, and may be made online at diabetes.org.nz.
