James Redford
May 5, 1962 - October 16, 2020
Marin County, California
My heart is heavy as we receive late word of Jamie’s passing. His dedication to preservation of nature & environment & humanity is embraced by many, especially by those of us who live or have lived within the Rocky Mountains and had the opportunity to hike or ski within the majestic Timpanogas Canyons. We can proudly say this world is a much better place for having him in it, though to brief a time. He is considered a hero to many as he lead by example what he wished for all to have, kindness and respect. He now leaves a legacy of love, compassion, sharing encouragement for his fellow man & most of all to respect all who dwell within this earth. We shall cherish his passions as they are also a means of preservation of mankind. Doing our best to share them with each generation & do so in his memory. Our prayers continue for family & friends, how blessed you were to have him in your life.

Mr Redford I am praying for your family for this pain is the worst you can bear. My son was 55 and lost him last year to liver disease. I have to depend on God to see me through each day. Remember the good times and dwell on them. I will continue to lift your family up daily and may you have peace.

I did not know him personally but I was impressed by and thankful for the documentaries he made. The last one about impact of stress in childhood on our adult lives was right on target. His accomplishments are more than noteworthy; they are life changing for many people. I'm a retired professor and I referred one of my former students, now a parent with a dyslexic child, to his film. It helped both of them immensely. My condolences to his family and his parents, Robert and Lola. The loss of a child, no matter at what age, is unbearably painful, but certainly they can be very proud of the impact their son had on the lives of others and likely was instilled in their son by them.
Happy Trails, Jamie!! PS Note below...I was never James teacher but did not know else to choose.

Sending deepest condolences at this tender time. My memories go back more than 50 years ago— in New York City- With Jamie and Shawna. We made forts, did plays, played make believe, played in Central Park and Trick-orTreated in their building. I felt blessed to have such wonderful friends in a very big city.
Sending love to the family—

To the family of James Redford;
My family and I would like to extend our heartfelt condolences on your loss. As a parent, losing a child is hard to accept. It's precious moments that we will never forget. And the thought of never hearing their voice, feeling the touch of their hand or seeing their smile that light up a room can be most difficult to bear. It is our sincere wish that the Redford family be surrounded by LOVE during this difficult time.
May you also keep treasured memories of James in your heart and may you find comfort in knowing that those who have passed on in death God keeps in his memory because they are all precious in his eyes. (Psalm 116:15).
Respectfully,
EDO, Illinois

I was saddened to see the news of Robert Redford's son. I also lost my son, age 16, on October 16, 1995. Having learned of James' life was uplifting and should be comforting to his family to know his life was well spent contributing to the welfare of others. The mournful pain of losing a son never leaves. I have always admired Mr. Redford and his contribution to the environment. James sounded like a carbon copy of his father. Members of the family were in my prayers tonight and they will be remembered.

When you see famous personalities you don't often think about much else than their careers. The fact is they have lives just like all of us, with all the highs and lows that familys celebrate and sometimes have to endure. My heart goes out to the whole family, as I know first hand how the cancer battle is fought. My wife lost her 58 year old brother to liver cancer two weeks ago. I hope life gets a little easier day by day for your family as it has for us.
