Parcourez la nécrologie de Jim MacLeod Monday December 11th 2023 résidant dans la province Colombie britanique pour le détail des funérailles
James Angus MacLeod born Sept 5, 1947 Port Alice BC , passed Dec 11, 2023 at Sea to Sky Hospice, Squamish BC. Jim was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease in 2016 and then dementia a few years later. Even as the diseases progressed, he never gave up hope.
Jim was predeceased by Dad Alex; Mom Irene; Stepmom Jean; sister Helen; brothers Sandy (Lyn), Donnie (Jan), and Pat; Evonne’s parents Bill and Isla Skinner; and special cousin Steven Macmillan.
Jim attended St Michael’s University School in Victoria, graduating in 1966. After attending UBC, he worked in pulp mills throughout BC and at St. Paul’s Hospital, before settling on a risk management career with the Insurance Industry. It was here he met his buddy Dennis Tracey aka DT (Pat). His work took him and Evonne to Toronto for 7 years where they met wonderful folk who remain friends today. Prior to his retirement in 2016 he was National Vice-President at Fire Underwriters Survey. He always enjoyed attending The Canadian Association of Fire Chiefs conference where he presented the award for Fire Chief of the Year.
A man of many talents and an abundance of knowledge, he was a runner, rugby player and loved skiing at Whistler. He thought mountain biking might be fun but after breaking both wrists at the same time the bike was hung up for good and golf was taken a bit more seriously.
Missing him are his wife of 37 years Evonne; daughter Laurie Shambrook (Mark); grandchildren Riley (Kristy) and Natasha Shambrook; great grandchildren Luna and Alden Shambrook; Sisters Marion Tennant (Craig) and Aileen Macskasy (Bill); sister in law Lorraine Brady (Glenn); nephews Scott, Ryan, Alex and Malcolm; nieces Samantha, Jennifer, Jacqui, and Katie; special cousins Wilma and David Macmillan; Janice and Eric Horsburgh; and Marlene and Alan Baldwin; sisters in- law Lyn MacLeod and Jan MacLeod.
To our friends, thank you for your support over the past few months. The Bradys; The Clarks; Merv (Swerve); Charlie; Rick; The Quish’s; The Murray’s; Evonne’s “Girls” from school; and the Squamish “Beeches”. You are all loved dearly .
The last few months were made easier by the amazing doctors, nurses and care aids at Squamish General Hospital and Sea to Sky Hospice, who provided compassionate and supportive care.
Jim’s wish was that we all gather in the spring and celebrate him with a beverage or two. Flowers are gratefully declined. If you wish to honour Jim, a donation to either Sea to Sky Hospice or Squamish Hospital Foundation would be appreciated.
Jim is looking forward to having a beer with Donnie, a martini with DT, and promised to play nice with his brothers. Our hearts are broken….
