MILNE, James Jimmy Joseph

October 25, 1958 - April 6, 2017


Jimmy passed away surrounded by family and friends, love, laughter, music and wine. He lived with cancer for 7 years. He and Pam traveled and lived life to the fullest; they did

more in their years than most of us do in our lifetimes. He is survived by the love of his life Pam Johnson, and siblings, Susan Downey (Mort), Patti Howard (John), Kathi Treacy (Kevin), Steve Milne (Kelly), Amy Ryan (Charlie), Janet Milne (Bill), sister-in-law Patty Johnson-Lynch (Scott), several nieces and nephews, and many dear friends. Jim was born and raised in Scarborough, Ontario. He lived in Florida, New York, Calgary and Kelowna, before settling in Vancouver where he created the life he always wanted with his

Pammy. He spent many years putting his charisma and business acumen to use as an extremely successful salesman. The latter part of his career he spent as VP of Sales and Operations for TAC Mobility. No one loved life

more than Jimmy. He had many passions including socializing and laughing with friends over several cocktails and traveling the world with his Pammy. He relished any

adventure that had to do with mountains, water and the golf courses in between. He was quick with a joke and loved to laugh especially at those “spicy” ones! And boy did

he embellish on those stories. Jim touched many lives. He was a mentor to many, often sought out for his insight and guidance. He participated in innumerable charitable events

over the years including, in his later years while fighting cancer, teaching skiing to people with disabilities. And even though his family members were scattered across North

America, he made it a point to bring everyone together often. Jim was always the center of attention and you couldn’t help but be drawn to him. Although he’s no longer with us, he is entertaining elsewhere. Donations can made

to your favorite charity or the BC Cancer

Foundation (Melanoma Research).C 1
