HAY: James “Jamie” of London and formerly Zurich

Sadly, at his home as the result of a heart attack on Wednesday, November 16, 2022 at the age of 46, he was taken from those who loved him. Proud dad of Faisal, Aisha, and Alexander and will be remembered by their moms, Sarah and Rebecca. Beloved son of Shirley Hay-Janke and William Janke of Exeter. Dear brother of Brittany, Candice and Austin, and Chelsey-Lee. Adored uncle of Katrina, Aria, and Charlotte. Much loved grandson of Gordon and Jeanne Hay of Exeter. James will be missed by his partner Jennifer Penny and his many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.

Cremation with private family arrangements have been made. A public celebration of life will be held at a future date.

If desired, donations to Heart and Stroke or Diabetes Canada would be appreciated.

    To Jamie’s kids and loved ones…
    My deepest condolences on the loss of Jamie taken so suddenly and far too soon from all of you. I went to public school with Jamie and stayed in contact him over the years occasionally through messages. He had a great laugh, sense of humor and was very loyal. I know he was very proud of his kids. Wishing you strength and love during this difficult time.
