James “Jim” MacDonald
1952-2017
It is with deep sadness that we announce
the passing of James Vernon MacDonald,
age 65, of Amherst. Jim passed away on Tuesday, November 14,
2017 with family by his side at Cumberland Regional Health Care
Centre.
Born in Amherst, NS, he was a son of the
late Arthur and Louitta (Langille) MacDonald.
Jim grew up over on the hill on Mission
Street. He loved laughter, joking around, and even performed
stand up for a period of time in the States. He was
passionate about music, loved playing guitar, was a member of
“The Fellas” singing group, and was an active volunteer at
CFTA. He was an active member of the Amherst Fire Department
and a member of the Knights of Columbus. A man with a huge
heart, he felt everyone deserved a chance. He loved life, and
especially his family. He met his wife Susan in 1976, fell
passionately in love and though they had many bumps along the way,
their strong bond always saw them through.
He will be sadly missed by his children,
Dan (Stacy) MacDonald, Charlene MacDonald, and Tammy Rogers all of
Amherst; grandchildren, Benji, Katt (Darren), Gia, Brady and Noah;
great granddaughter Zandra; sister Edna (Roy) Bacon, Amherst and
brother Don MacDonald, Truro; special nephews, Jeff and Jason Adshade;
as well as several other nieces and nephews.
He was predeceased by his wife Susan
(Manion), brother Doug MacDonald and sister Dorothy
MacDonald.
