Jim passed away suddenly on August 27th, 2023.

 

He was born in Winnipeg on December 12, 1948 to Grace and Doug Stevens. Left to mourn his passing is his sister, Joan Christianson, and his nephews. Jim was predeceased by his parents and his brother Jack.

Jim spent most of his life in the Weston area of Winnipeg, attending the Cecil Rhodes Schools and Daniel McIntyre Collegiate. He held many jobs but the primary focus in his life was the Masonic Order. He was passionate about the history and philosophy of the Masons and enjoyed the structure of the rites and deeply appreciated the fellowship. Jim also enjoyed singing and could not resist participating joyfully in karaoke. He often enjoyed the camaraderie of the Brooklands and Weston Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion.

Jim was a gentle spirit making his way in a harsh world. For many years when asked how he was doing his reply was "Oh I'm doing the best I can with what I got under the circumstances."
 

A private interment is planned with no formal ceremony.
