Obituary of James Stephen Butyniec
James “Jim” Butyniec passed away peacefully Friday evening in the comfort of his home and the company of his loving wife Gloria after a courageous battle with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy. Beloved husband of Gloria for 37 years. Loving father of David, Stephen (Marissa), and Brandon (Vanessa). Grandfather of Madelyn, Athan, Alexa, and Adler. Brother to Julian (Christine) and Jeannie. Predeceased by his parents Ilko and Honorata (nee Brzdęk).
Jim loved to golf, coach sports, keep his lawn in immaculate shape, drive his John Deere, and spend time with his children and grandchildren. Starting from the humblest of beginnings he rose to have an incredibly successful career as a leader in the Aerospace industry spanning many decades, including the turnaround of Magellan Aerospace. Jim will be dearly missed and remembered for many things including his honesty, integrity, wisdom, work ethic, selflessness, big heart, quick wit, and sense of humour.
Our world is a lesser place without him.
