September 27, 1952 – December 23, 2021
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of James (Jim) Thompson. He was born to James (Stewart) Thompson and Margaret Thompson. Jim was born in St. Boniface, Manitoba and grew up in Brandon. He lived there and in Winnipeg until moving to Kamloops in 1991.
Jim passed away peacefully at home with loved ones by his side after a courageous battle with cancer. Jim is survived by his loving wife Carole, children Christopher and Alison, Stepchildren Kevin (Alayne) and Keri (John), grandchildren Alyse and Grayson, step-grandchildren Jesse, Mackenzie, Johnny and Makenna. He is also survived by is sister Carole (Ken), her children Kent and Kristen and five great nephews.
Jim is predeceased by his father James, mother Margaret and his sister Beth.
Jim worked for years as an industrial painter at Horizon North. He then went on to residential painting where he worked up until this summer. Jim was a very kind and generous man who adored his family and loved spending time with them. Jim also enjoyed spending the rest of his free time with good friends, volunteering or fishing. Jim also quietly donated to many causes and charities and was always eager to lend a helping hand. Jim’s granddaughter, Alyse, would like to acknowledge and say thank you to her papa for always volunteering to drive her to her practices, offering to take her shopping for winter coats and boots year after year and loved when he would take her out to eat. Jim will be dearly missed by all who knew him.
Celebrations of life will be announced at a later date. Memorial contributions if people wish can be made to the Mustard Seed in Kamloops. Donations can be made online at theseed.ca
