Jim was born in Queen Charlotte City, BC on June 1,1955. He was a long time resident of Revelstoke. He was experienced in working a variety of jobs through his years. He was a faller, bucker, heavy equipment operator, and logging truck hauler for many years. Jim was a long time employee at Valley Blacktop and H & J Ready Mix and enjoyed his job and coworkers.

Jim's favorite past time was sitting on his chair on the porch at his home spending time with his family and catching up on how everyone's day had been. Jim always put his family first. He enjoyed rebuilding motorcycles. He enjoyed mushroom picking, fishing, leisurely drives, travelling to local drag races, and catching up on the latest gossip about his family and friends. Jim enjoyed Instagram and loved to check out the photos of motorcycles and the latest photos of the people he cared about. Jim will be remembered for his sense of humor, his witty comments, and his quiet way of living life.
