In Memory of James Jarrett Mullins
1979 – 2024
17/10/2024
With broken hearts we sadly announce the passing of James Jarrett Mullins, age 45, on Thursday, October 17, 2024. James passed away in his sleep at his sister’s home following a lovely family gathering with her, his nephews, and his parents.
James was the proud father of Gavin (12) and Maxwell (9), the brother of Tasha McDonald and Kelsey Mullins (Cassandra), and the uncle of Bryden and Colton (Tasha) and Rhys, Eamon, and Darragh (Kelsey). He was the beloved son of Jo-Anne and Trevor Mullins, who, along with the rest of his family, loved him dearly and treasured the moments spent with him. His extended family included many long time family friends, loving aunts, uncles, and cousins, with special mention to Jo-Anne’s sister Sherry Vitaljic’s family in Vancouver: Uncle Andy, Miké (Lex), Kyleena and Johnny.
James was born in Pr. George, BC and moved with his family to Ottawa at age 10. He loved being in the outdoors, camping and fishing as well as telling corny jokes, citing oddball trivia and having philosophical chats. He also loved to travel and explore areas of the world that were off the beaten path. His adventures included tree planting in northern BC and commercial fishing with his Uncle Andy and cousins in BC’s west coast. He’d chosen carpentry and heritage home restoration as a career path in the construction industry and was passionate about woodworking as a hobby. He started a family, where his caring and nurturing traits helped to start the lives of his two wonderful sons.
Despite his many gifts, James didn’t do well with stress and conflict, which left him unprepared for the challenges that most people overcome as a normal part of life. Unfortunately, his choice to use alcohol to help him cope took him on a path he continued to struggle with. Despite his challenges, his compassionate nature endured, and he spent time working with Ottawa Inner City Health, helping others in need.
We all loved you very much James and will miss you forever.
