There are people whose presence shapes our journey, whose support lights the way, and whose belief strengthens our resolve.
Michael James is one of those remarkable individuals.
From the very beginning, Michael has been more than a friend or colleague he has been a mentor, a motivator, and a pillar of encouragement. His wisdom, kindness, and genuine desire to see others succeed have left an enduring mark on my path.
In moments of doubt, he reminded me of my purpose. In moments of challenge, he offered guidance and clarity. And in every achievement, his unwavering support echoed in the background — a quiet force that helped me grow and thrive.
Today, as I reflect on the journey so far, I do so with deep gratitude for Michael James for his time, his encouragement, and his belief in what I could become.
Thank you, Michael, for being a part of my success story. Your impact will always be remembered and celebrated.

Michael I remember that you always had a lovely smile. When I got married over 34 years ago I gave your mum my video to watch and some how you managed to record Michael Jackson over it but I forgave you and my heart is still open lol. You will always be remembered. 💚

It is with a heavy heart that I reflect on the life of Michael Cockings, someone I had the privilege of knowing since he was just 9 years old. Over the years, I watched him grow from a young boy into a kind, caring, and deeply genuine man. His passing is not only a profound loss to those who knew and loved him, but also to the many lives he quietly touched along the way.
Michael was more than just a friend – he was like family. Having known his family so well, I know just how deeply he was loved, supported, and shaped by the values they instilled in him. He carried those values with him – kindness, humility, loyalty, and a quiet strength that never asked for attention but made a lasting impression on everyone around him.
His laughter, his thoughtfulness, and his steady presence will be sorely missed. Whether it was through a shared story, a helping hand, or simply being there when it mattered most, Michael made a difference – and that’s something we will never forget.
To his family: please know how deeply my heart is with you. You raised an incredible person, and it has been one of my life’s blessings to have known Michael so well for so many years.
Rest in peace, Michael. You will be forever remembered, forever missed, and forever loved.

Still 4 weeks on I wake up every day & can't believe this is real.💔
My heart is broken, for not only the loss of you but for all your family & friends that are here living this nightmare daily 😢
You were 1 of a kind, a pure, selfless beautiful soul with the brightest smile that lit up your face & the whole room you
entered 🥰
I will cherish every single memory I have with you.
I've been reminiscing on so many lately, the one that keeps
making me laugh is plucking out your ingrown hairs & you
screaming like a girl,! 🤣
I will be forever grateful to you for introducing me to your
precious family, who have opened their arms to
me & my children & over the last 20 years becoming Our family too, 🙏🏽❤️✨️
Which is a true reflection of the amazing person you were. I moved to East & I needed a sitter for my kids & was so stressed as I couldn't work, & you were like don't worry they can stay with my sister Char at my mums, & just like that you had it all sorted for me immediately.
As a result, my kids literally lived at your mums every weekend, even when I wasn't working & now I have your sisters as my closest friends/family 💕🙏🏽
I promise to continue loving them for you, & always supporting them just as you always did 😊❤️
Rest in everlasting Peace Michael,🙏🏽🤍✨️
Until we meet again, because we will!
Please protect your loved ones & shine your light down on us all to remind us you are still with us in spirit 💚💚💚🤍🤍🤍

I remember Michaels younger days. I lived with Margaret and Michael in the late 70s/early 80's when Micheal was only a baby. The last time I saw Micheal was at his twin uncles 70th Birthday party in Stoke Newington, we had a lovely conversation after not seeing him for a long time. He was a wonderful young man. You will be forever in my heart. Rest In Peace Michael.

Michael was and is my best friend , you walked through life with me from primary to 48yrs old, through every up and down you stood by my side in everything. I have bundles of fond memories together. Loosing you has been harder than burying my own baby because we had such a depth and years of a respectful relationship. I don’t really want to say bye but I know I have to come to terms with I will never hear your voice again or see your smiling face. Your memory will live on in our hearts forever and I pray your spirit be at rest in the arms of our loving Heavenly Father. I love you Mike , RIEP 💔❤️💔 My Condolences to all Michael’s Family❤️❤️❤️
