Jimmy was born Monday, July 25, 1955, in Pukatawagan, Manitoba. He passed away Friday, February 20, 2026 with his family by his side at St. Anthony’s Hospital, The Pas, Manitoba. It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our loving father, husband, grandfather, great grandfather and friend and everybody who knew him. Jimmy will be missed dearly from friends and family far and near.
Jimmy was a very kind person who got along good with everybody he met. He enjoyed going out camping, picking medicines, fishing, spending time with his grandchildren, traveling for meetings, helping out people when they needed help, hanging out with his friends, going out for coffee. He would go out to cut wood for sacred fires.
