He leaves behind to mourn his three daughters, Amanda, Danielle and Renee, as well as his mother, Lillian, his brothers and sisters, Larry (Barb), Dan, Lynn (Darryl), Sherry (Eric), Judy (Guy) and Jackie (John), along with numerous nieces and nephews. Jamie grew up and went to school in Pine Falls, Manitoba. He continued his education in Winnipeg where he received his Business Administration at Red River Community College and went on to become a Certified Management Accountant. Jamie was an avid athlete and spent most of his younger years at the rink playing or watching hockey. In later years his life was centered around his daughters and numerous pets.

Jamie was blessed to have such a good friend. In lieu of flowers, donations in Jamie's name can be made to the Canadian Liver Foundation. When I come to the end of the road, And the sun has set for me, I want no rites in a gloom filled room Why cry for a soul set free? Miss me a little - but not for long. And not with your head bowed low. Remember the love that once we shared. Miss me, but let me go. For this is a journey we must all take And each must go alone. It's all part of the master plan A step on the road to home. When you are lonely and sick at heart Go to the friends we know, Laugh at all the things we used to do. Miss me, but let me go.

The very mention of Jamie elicits the vision of a smiling, friendly red-headed guy...one that was never unfriendly. May God wrap you all in His Loving Arms.... - Posted by: Lynda Miller(Sawchyn) (Fellow Pine Falls brat) on: Sep 21, 2015

Oh Mrs.Veilleux, I don't even know what to say. I just found out tonight about Jamie's passing. I'm so sorry for your loss. Jamie's smile and his wicked sense of humour are what I will always remember. It seems like just yesterday that we were graduating high school together. I can't believe he's gone and am so sad that he is. Sending my love and prayers to you and the whole family. My heart aches for you all. xo - Posted by: Namita Walia-Nault (Old friend) on: Sep 17, 2015

To Lil and the rest of the family I am so saddened to hear of Jamie's passing. He was an old and dear friend. I saw him recently and as always we started to talk about old times. The fun we had as kids in Pine Falls, sometimes mischievous behaviours but always with that all too familiar grin Jamie had. I weep for the family and I pray for Jamie as I know he is at peace. I will always remember the good times we had growing up. If Ted were still alive today I am sure he would remember the "delivery room" and when Jamie came into our lives. Be at peace my old friend. - Posted by: Jim Siddall (Old Friend) on: Sep 17, 2015

Dear Lil My prayers and support go out to you at this sad time. I know your hurts. The loss of my two sons so soon at the time of loosing Norm was hard to bear. My heart goes out for you. Do you remember the night you were in labour with Jamie? You and I sat up all night playing canasta. Art (I believe) relieved Norm so Norm was home to be with the kids. Good memories of yester years All of us golf widows in the back yard coffee and kids. Remember your namesake BAMBAM? She took on all the little guys?. Be strong my friend so many friends are sharing their love and prayers with you AND your family at this time. God Bless Helen - Posted by: Helen Pachkowsky (Long ago friend) on: Sep 17, 2015
