James Ethan Black




We are heartbroken at the sudden loss of our beautiful boy James. His passing has left a huge hole in our family that can never be filled.
He will always be loved, cherished and remembered by us and everyone who knew him.
This memorial fund has been set up by the family to help CRY (Cardiac Risk in the Young) raise awareness of young sudden cardiac death, support those affected, support CRY’s screening programme and fund research and pathology.
