What would Jamie do?
What would Jamie do?
In loving memory of James (Jamie) Dickson
7 APRIL 1986 - 17 MAY 2026
Jamie was a much loved son, brother, uncle, colleague and friend.
He was the person people turned to when they needed advice, a different perspective, or simply someone who would listen without judgement. He had a calm and balanced way of looking at life and a knack for helping people feel understood, even when they disagreed.
On 17 May 2026, we lost Jamie far too soon. The loss has left a hole in the lives of so many people who loved him.
This website exists to honour the person Jamie was and the values he lived by. Not because he was perfect, but because he consistently chose kindness, understanding and compassion. He was the voice that encouraged people to slow down, see things from another person's point of view, and approach life's challenges with patience and empathy.
In Jamie's memory, we support conversations around mental health, connection and suicide prevention in Australia. We hope this encourages people to check in on one another, have the conversations that matter, and remember that even small acts of kindness can make a difference.
At the heart of it all is a simple question:
What would Jamie do?
For those who knew him, the answer is usually pretty clear.
He would listen.
He would care.
He would help.
And he would remind us that people matter.
