Jim was born on September 25, 1972 in Colony Bergthal, Paraguay. Along with his family, he moved to Steinbach, Manitoba in 1987. In 2000, Jim moved into the Envision home. Very quickly the workers became family to him and they could always put a smile on his face.
Jim always liked going for walks and many outdoor activities. His favourite activities were Bomber games, camping and watching TV. He enjoyed watching funny shows like Duck Dynasty and Mantracker.
The funeral service will be held on Thursday, September 21, 2017 at 2:00 p.m. at Birchwood Funeral Chapel, Steinbach, MB. Viewing and prayers will be held at Birchwood an hour prior to the service at 1:00 p.m.
If friends so desire, in lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Jim may be made to the Envision Foundation.
Family would like to give a special thanks to Doctor Krahn and the Envision staff, who dedicated years of care and support to Jim and his family.
