Abstract

James Hill, passed away peacefully in his sleep this morning at 4 am, Thursday 15th February 2024, surrounded by his much-beloved family and animals. James fought so hard for so long and achieved so much. Despite facing significant physical challenges following his rugby injury as a young newly qualified veterinarian, he carved out an incredible career as a Specialist Veterinary Clinical Pathologist, serving our beloved profession at the highest level for over 20 years with passion, integrity, and professionalism of the highest order. James never bore a grudge about his circumstances and carried out his professional and personal life with such positivity and enthusiasm, that he enriched the lives of so many of us in such positive ways. Anyone lucky enough to share the life of this truly remarkable guy will forever be awe-inspired by what he brought to the table of humanity.
