James Alexander KnealeCORLETTJames, much-loved son of Ali and Alan, and treasured brother of Libby, sadly died following a night out in Ashby. More than one hundred people came together to search for James, who was sadly found on 31st October 2026, aged 18 years. The outpouring of kindness shown throughout the search, and in the hundreds of cards and flowers left at the village pub, has been a great source of comfort.

James was referred to affectionately by many as a gentle giant, and never really grasped what he meant to so many. A polite, happy young man who absolutely lived each day with lots of dreams and plans. He loved to fly light aircraft, loved his Mini, and loved to travel, hike, ski, cycle, go to the gym, swim, scuba, and be outdoors. We will miss his dodgy music taste, and dodgier dancing. He is desperately missed by us all. Fly high, James.

Funeral Thursday 3rd December, service 12:00pm at Trent Valley Crematorium, Aston-on-Trent, Derby DE72 2AF.

Family flowers only please. Donations in loving memory will support 'The Laura Centre', and can be placed in the collection box at the service. To donate online, light a candle or leave a memory of James, please visit www.murraysfunerals.co.uk (click on 'Funeral Notices').
