On Sunday, James Michael Landon Neilson passed away suddenly at the age of 47 years.

Loving husband, brother and friend to many, Jim will be most lovingly remembered for his warm big heart, kind quiet demeanour, quick dry sense of humour and his bright smile that lit up his face.

Jim's greatest joy was spending time out at the lake with friends and family and out on his boat. He had a passion for fixing computers and many friends and family came to him, to get their computer problems solved. Jim will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew and loved him.

Predeceased by his parents Bill and Norma and father-in-law Al Hawkins.

Jim is survived by his loving wife Janice; sister-in-law Shellie (Ed) Aspeslet, mother-in-law Marg Hawkins; sisters Debbie (Colin) Farquharson, Brenda (Len) Nugent and Valerie (Mark) Fleming, brother Robert (Gary Burke); nephews and nieces: Lisa (Mitch) Enns, Sara Farquharson, Zac & Katie Fleming and Tyson Aspeslet.

A Celebration of Jim's life will be held on Friday, June 15, 2012 at 3:00 p.m. in the Schoening Funeral Chapel, 513 Seymour Street.
