Funeral donation fund for the family of James Walker

Christchurch, Canterbury

Earlier this week we shared the news of James Walkers passing, James life was a journey with plenty of ups and downs and bumps in the road. He was a proud loving dad to Milly and Zak and a cheeky, loving husband. His laugh, cheeky smile, adventurous nature,and love of life will be so missed by all who knew and loved him.

Over the last 24 hours our family has been asked many times how they can help the Walker family at this devastating time. While Sarah was reluctant to make this page, we have explained to her that it’s because people want to help her rather than she is asking for money. James did have life insurance but unfortunately due to the circumstances of the passing the policy has been declined. Sarah has two beautiful children aged 14 and 12 that she is raising alone now while also being responsible for a mortgage on the home. All funds raised will go towards the funeral to help relieve some pressure and stress for our family.

As some of you know this isn’t the first time our family has had to deal with the tragedy of an unexpected passing, Sarah’s Dad also passed away unexpectedly in 2015. Our family is well aware of the impact this will bring to her life after having been through this process before.

We would appreciate any support you wish to give Sarah’s family at this difficult time.

Thank you ❤️
