Jamie was at his happiest when he was hanging out with his girls Aoife, Robyn and Ally. He was the perfect 'gay best friend' – sweet, charming, caring, warm and loyal. Jamie loved being loved, and would always go out of his way to make people feel better – if they felt good, he felt good, it's win-win!
Jamie grew up in a large, aggressive and macho family where arguments were pretty much constant. As the youngest, Jamie got used to not getting involved in arguments and avoiding conflict. This proved to be a valuable asset in his nursing career – he was a calming influence, able to diffuse the most volatile of situations.
But his refusal to engage in conflict meant that he missed out on the good stuff.
Jamie was at ease with his sexuality, and was 'out' to himself and his friends. But he didn't flaunt it at work, or at home. – he was a shy boy at heart, and relatively inexperienced in the romance department.
