Hanson, James Maurice “Jim” “Uncle Jimmy”
It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of James Hanson (Jim) age 63 of Amherst on March 1, 2021 at the Halifax Infirmary, QEII following complications from heart surgery. Jim was born on May 14, 1957 in Windsor, NS to the late Roland and June (Allison) Hanson. Jim was a long-haul trucker for most of his life, most recently driving for Bill Lunn and Professional Carriers. Jim lived his life on his own terms, connecting with many friends across the country and enjoying many good times with his close friends in his chosen hometown of Amherst. Jim was fiercely loyal to his friends; they meant the world to him; the family would especially like to recognize Vaughan and Ralph for their care and concern over these past weeks. Jim was predeceased by his parents, beloved grandparents James and Dorothy Allison and Maurice and Annie Hanson, and his older sister Susan Campbell with whom he shared a close bond. He is survived by his sister Karen (Carey) Rafuse and his brother Paul (Shelayne) Hanson. He is also survived by his nieces and nephews Ian, Jill, Alex, Emily, Nick, Abby, and Ella, and his great nieces and nephews Noah, Jonah, Dallen, Jase, Ryley, Rudy, and Cooper. He took great pride in being Uncle Jimmy. The family would like to thank the ICU and Surgical Unit of the Cumberland Regional Health Care Centre as well as the Cardiovascular Care Units (5.1 and 7.1) at the Halifax Infirmary, QEII for their efforts on Jim’s behalf. Cremation has taken place, there will be no service by Jim’s request. Memories and condolences may be shared with the family through the Dartmouth Funeral Home www.dartmouthfuneralhome.ca. Because Jim loved animals so much, donations in his memory may be made to the Lillian Allbon Animal Shelter in Amherst.
