James Symond Mourns Loss of Wife to Cancer: Heartfelt Tribute Shakes Community

James Symond pays tribute to his wife Amelia, who lost her battle with cancer days before Christmas, leaving behind their young daughter

James Symond, former Aussie Home Loans CEO, shares a heartfelt tribute to his late wife, Amelia, who passed away from cancer two days before Christmas.

 

Sydney, Australia: Tragedy struck just two days before Christmas as James Symond, a prominent Australian millionaire and former CEO of Aussie Home Loans, announced the death of his beloved wife, Amelia Beau Finlay Symond. She was 45 years old and the mother of their five-year-old daughter, Stella Rose.

 

In an emotional post shared on a social media platform for former company staff, Mr. Symond described himself as "terrified and broken" by the loss but pledged to remain strong for their daughter. “You are the love of my life,” he wrote, expressing his eternal devotion to Amelia.

 

The couple, who married in 2019, faced tremendous health challenges over the years, both battling severe forms of cancer. Amelia's stage four breast cancer diagnosis came just two years after James himself was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a rare and aggressive cancer of the bone marrow.

 

James previously opened up about his health journey, revealing that he had been given just weeks to live after his initial diagnosis in 2017. However, through a combination of treatments, including a bone marrow transplant and ongoing chemotherapy, he has managed to defy the odds.

 

Amelia’s condition had been particularly difficult for the family, especially given James's health struggles. Yet, their mutual resilience was a testament to their love and commitment.

 

"God speed, and till we meet again, my gorgeous girl," James wrote in his tribute, accompanied by a touching photo of Amelia and their daughter.

 

The news of Amelia's passing has sent ripples of grief across the community, with friends, family, and colleagues offering their condolences.

 

James Symond retired from his role as CEO in 2021, stepping back to focus on his health and family. Amelia's passing leaves a profound void in the lives of those who knew her. She will be remembered as a devoted wife, mother, and fighter.
