It is with heavy hearts, that we announce the passing of James (Jim) Browne, age 75 years. Jim passed peacefully away at the Lion’s Manor, Placentia on Tuesday, December 23, 2019.
He was predeceased by his parents James Sr. and Nancy Browne, his brother Dennis and wife Bonnie. Jim leaves to mourn his loving wife of 51 years, Cheryl, his three daughters: Gina Manuel (Mike), Jillian Smith (Leo), & Jennifer Doyle (Deon), his brothers: Gary Browne (Linda) and Paul Browne (Ann Marie). Jim’s pride and joy were his grandchildren: Shane (Julia) and Joshua Manuel, Madison and Matthew Smith, Ethan, Tyler and Annabella Doyle, and great grandchild Theo Manuel, who always made him smile, will miss him dearly. He also leaves to mourn his sister- in-law Sylvia Long, Aunt Rita Hickey, a large number of extended family members, and an extensive circle of close-knit friends who’s love and support have been unwavering. Jim had a great passion for life and laughter, and his bold mirth was infectious to all around him. He was a hard worker, dedicated to his family. His strong faith carried him through his life, and now carries him home.
