Born May 15, 1961, Jamie grew up on the family farm nestled in the hills west of St. Alphonse. He was the oldest of 10 children and they were surrounded by love and known as the Happy Gang.
He started farming with his parents operating a dairy and grain farm. In 1984 Jamie and Joelle were married and started a dairy farm in the Hecla district near Glenboro then moved back to the family farm in 2005. He was very community minded and always offered his time to various committees.
In 2016 Jamie transitioned to grain and beef farming with his sons. He accepted new cropping ideas from his sons while adding old tricks and ideas from his time farming with his father Edward. He so looked forward to this year’s harvest. A man noted for his soft voice, gentle manner and always ready to listen.
Prayers followed by Mass of Christian Burial, will be held in the St Alphonse Catholic Church on Saturday August 20, 2022, commencing at 10:30 am.
