James, fondly known as Jim, faced a short but courageous battle with illness, leaving a void that will be felt deeply by all who had the privilege of knowing him. As we navigate the waves of grief, let us take a moment to reflect on the remarkable life of James McMahon. James, born to Kathleen and James (Jack), began his journey in the welcoming embrace of 4 Bearnagh Drive, Belfast. A true gentleman from the start, he embodied qualities of kindness, humility, and unwavering love. James was a pillar of strength, and his life was a testament to the enduring power of love, family, and community.
A loving husband to Noeleen, James shared a profound bond with his soulmate. Together, they weathered the storms of life, creating a home filled with love, laughter, and shared experiences. Noeleen was his anchor, and their union was a source of inspiration to those fortunate enough to witness the depth of their connection. James was a devoted father to his daughters, Clara and Rachel, and a father-in-law to Aodhán and Cormac. His daughters were the joy of his life, and he took immense pride in watching them grow into the remarkable individuals they are today. The bonds of family were the cornerstone of James’s existence, and he found immense joy in the laughter and warmth that filled his home.
The light of James’s life shone brightly in the form of his cherished grandchildren – Eibheann, Fionn, Feidhlim, Sam, and Kate. He reveled in the simple joys of being a grandfather, creating a treasure trove of memories that will endure for generations. The love between James and his grandchildren was a beautiful testament to the enduring power of family bonds. Preceded in death by his parents Kathleen and James (Jack), as well as his sisters Gerardine and Margaret, James leaves behind a legacy of love and resilience. His memory will be cherished by his dear siblings Mary, Kathleen, Patrick, Sean, and Bernadette, along with his brothers and sisters-in-law Edward, Anne, Denise, Kieron, Paddy, Larry, Séan, Ann Marie, James, and Sandra.
