Nigel James Obituary We are sad to announce that, on February 9, 2026, Nigel James (Christchurch, South Island) passed away. Family and friends are welcome to leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family. As we bid Nigel 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 Nigel 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 Margaret; his children, Nichola, Mike (Lynne) and Hamish (Beverly); and his grandchildren, Henry, Charlotte, Jack, Jacqui and James. In lieu of flowers, donations to Canterbury West Coast Air Rescue Trust would be appreciated and may be made online at airrescue.co.nz.
