GARAHAN, James Edward
1939 – 2023
It is with sadness that we announce the death of our beloved husband, father, brother, uncle, grandfather, friend – James Edward Garahan. Jim died peacefully at the Temiskaming Hospital on March 27, 2023, shy of his 84 th birthday in April, after thoughtful care from so many hospital staff members and visits from friends over the past 7 weeks.
Jim is survived by his wife of 54+ years, Kathleen (O’Connell) Garahan, his children Moe Garahan and Bill Garahan, his sister Zita Drake in New York, his sisters-in-law Margaret Arthur and Susan (Jarl) Sundve, his nieces Elaina Hamelin, Crystal O’Connell, his ‘adopted’ nephews David and Stephen Mate and many other loved nieces, nephews and cousins across Canada, his grandchildren Tessa, Owen, and the Bukuru children, his cousins Philip and John Davis and the extended Davis family from Fort Coulonge, cousin Mary Diamond in Sudbury, and much loved cousins in Ireland, where he traveled many times.
He is predeceased by his parents William and Ellen (Davis) Garahan, who raised Jim in Timmins, and by his sister Maureen (Momay) Garahan.
Jim was a young athlete (basketball, football, hockey), musician (violin), and outdoorsman (hunting, fishing, camping), educated in Timmins (elementary and secondary) and Kingston (Regiopolis). He then received his Certified General Accountant (CGA) designation, practicing first at Campsall Electric and then opening his own business for the next 50 years. He gave generously of his time and knowledge to many organizations, including Scouting, as long-time youth member to Leader to Regional Director (supporting cub car rallies, clubs and camps), the local Soccer Association (becoming a coach without ever having played, due to a shortage and having kids wanting to play!), and the Association for Community Living (supporting people living in the area with developmental challenges) to name a few.th degree Knight within the Knights of Columbus. He was an enthusiastic life-time member of the Horne Granite Curling Club (including starting and managing the Boxing Day Family Curling Bonspiel), supported his wife within Pro-Vie Tri-Town Right to Life for 40+ years, supported his daughter’s organization Just Food in Ottawa, and started the Men’s Prostate Cancer Group after surviving from it himself. Jim was always ready with a helping hand for neighbors and friends.
The community is invited to celebrate the life of Jim at a Visitation at the Timiskaming Funeral Co-operative (formerly Perrin) on 128 Whitewood Ave W on Sunday, April 2 between 2-4pm, and/or at the Funeral Monday, April 3 at Our Mother of Perpetual Help Church for a Mass at 11am, and/or at the reception for lunch, held in the church basement at 12pm. All are welcome.
For those who wish, a memorial contribution made in Jim’s name to one of the following organizations he supported would be greatly appreciated: Knights of Columbus (Box 341, New Liskeard, ON), Pro-Vie Tri-Town Right to Life (Box 842, New Liskeard, ON), Community Cancer Care (www.community cancercare.ca) or Just Food (www.justfood.ca).
