James Joseph (Jim) MacDougall
It is with great sadness I announce the passing of my loving husband Jim on March 24, 2020, at the Mazankowski Alberta Heart Institute from complications of open heart surgery, with loving family by his side.
Jim was a special person to all who knew him. His life was a testament to his positive attitude and acts of kindness. His passions were family, cruising, and basketball. He enjoyed playing and also coaching kids for over thirty years, as well as watching the sport, especially the Raptors and March Madness.
Jim was born in Welland, Ontario and spent his formative years in Port Hawkesbury, Nova Scotia, graduating from St. Francis Xavier University. His working years were spent in Mississauga, Ontario and Calgary, Alberta.
Jim is survived by the love of his life – his wife Debbie; brother and sister-in-law Garry and Robbie Kivell; sisters, Edwardean and Ann; and brother Ian.
He was predeceased by his mother Kathleen, father Edward and fur baby Chivas.
Special thanks to the staff in the Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit at the Mazankowski Alberta Heart Institute for their care and compassion.
As Jim would say, “Be positive and live your best life every day.” Peace.

Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of James Jim MacDougall 2020..
Death notice for the town of: Edmonton, Province: Alberta
I attended school in Port Hawkesbury in the late
60’s. I graduated in 1972. Our high school was small so we all knew each other and had good friendships. Jimmy asked me to my first dance.. when we were very young. I was so sad to hear of his passing. Jimmy was a really lovely young man when I knew him.
Sincerely
Jenny (Hebb) Beaton
