I got to know Jez, when I was asked to join him in Beijing on a project, one month after my wedding. We then spent much of the next 10 months working together, meeting at the airport lounge for a drink on a Sunday afternoon before boarding our flight, talking about how we’d spent the 36 hours with our families. We’d meet for breakfast, walk into work and face the day together from an early 7.30am closing around 1am. With a largely US team, we used to share a mutual hatred of US spellings and try to slip in the corrected versions as a protest. Jez taught me the importance of networking and working isn’t just best served sitting behind a laptop. My favourite part of the working week was sitting with Jez reviewing the steerco pack as our final deliverable for the week on a Thursday night in the hotel bar with a plate of food in front of us. We’d then put away the laptops upstairs and have a few more beers before calling it a night. That was 6 years ago. Since then we’ve continued to work together on and off. He’s been a mentor, talking me back off the work ledge several times. I’m going to miss him, his mentorship, friendship and sense of humour. I’m so sorry for your loss Eva, Maia, Amelia. My heart breaks for you

Jez was one of the first partners I met in Hong Kong. He reached out when he learned I was visiting the team. We shared experiences and quickly realized that we had similar backgrounds of study, client work, places seen, and ultimately landed on families. From this first meeting, I wanted to work with Jez to help bring the different Strategy & Operations teams in HK together. He led the office for a while and tried to build bridges. He took on one of the larger, more difficult engagements which took him to Beijing every week for almost a year! I think his willingness to try was what I liked best. Always up for a coffee or drink, and to chit-chat and share and have a good laugh. So very sorry to you his dear family. A great colleague and friend is missed. I've found a few photos that I'm sending along. I wish you all strength during this difficult time of healing. ~ChrisAhn

I lived with Jez and Stuey Morrison in London when we first moved there after graduating. What I remember most about Jez and about those times was just how much fun we had! We used to work hard all week and on the weekends we would go to parties and pubs. We would spend all day Sunday in the pub watching football, "recovering from the night before"! Jez was a funny man and we would laugh constantly. The best of times! Jez was a wonderful, witty, kind and generous soul. When I saw him most recently, a couple of years ago, he talked little about his work or his many professional achievements, he only wanted to talk about his family, whom he loved dearly. I find it hard to believe that Jez is no longer with us. I hope it is some consolation to his loved ones that in Jez's all-too-brief 45 years, his soul burned brighter and touched more lives than many who live much longer lives. I for one will miss him dearly and will cherish my fond memories of him. My deepest condolences to his family and loved ones.

I first met Jez at KPMG is 2005...he was always fun, though he used to wear a ring on his thumb and beads so was always a bit of a out layer. That’s what made him Jez and such a great friend. Over the years we worked together and he would tell us about how on weekends he would jump on a standby seat on a plane and go off to cool places. We spent many an evening putting the world to rights and probably had a little too much to drink and it was always fun... The thing about Jez though was his absolute devotion and love for his girls...I learnt a lot from him in that regard and I will miss him terribly...my condolences and Eva and the girls

I have only just found out about Jez's passing. We were good friends in HK and after moving back to the UK we lost touch. I regret not having tried to reconnect sooner and not having been there when he most needed it. Jez was a great guy and a good friend. I remember very fondly working with him at KPMG and the many occasions we had to spend time together. Whether it was to put the world to right and ending up climbing the Ma On Shan completely drunk or to go wild camping with our families. I miss you buddy, my thoughts and prayers are with his wife Eva and the girls.
