JIM FIELDER

A celebration of life will be held on Friday, August 1, 2025 between 1:30 p.m. - 3:00 p.m., Location-Dalnavert Museum and Visitors Centre, 61 Carlton Street, Winnipeg.

Jim Fielder, passed away peacefully on March 25, 2025, at Riverview Health Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Born in Port Arthur, Ontario. Jim was predeceased by his older sister Patricia (1957) parents Gordon Fielder from Kenora, ON (1999) and Evelyn Johnson from Rivers MB (2004).

Jim’s early years were spent in the natural beauty of Port Arthur, where he attended Hillcrest High School. His passion for learning and his commitment to excellence led him to the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg where he earned a Bachelor of Science and followed it up with a Law Degree, laying the foundation for a distinguished career in law and community service.

After graduating, Jim joined the prestigious firm of Tupper & Adams in Winnipeg, where he honed his skills and became a respected figure in the legal community. His entrepreneurial spirit and desire to make a more personal impact led him and his colleague Hugh Adams to become Manitoba Insurance Agents for First Canadian Title, establishing a regional office - that grew to service Manitoba, SK, NWT, YK and Nunavut - which he successfully ran until his retirement.

However, retirement did not mean slowing down for Jim. His dedication to public service saw him continue to work with small communities as their Chief Administration Officer. He spent two years working in Lynn Lake prior to relocating to the Municipality of Russell Binscarth where he served the community for six years.

Jim’s life was one of constant engagement and service. His work extended beyond his professional commitments, touching the lives of many in the communities he served. He was a man who believed in the power of local community actions to improve lives and was always ready to lend his expertise and support wherever it was needed. He was particularly proud of his work with the Manitoba branch of the CDA.

He is survived by his loving husband, Thomas, and his half-brother, David Wynn (Ann) as well his niece Theresa-Ann Pepin (Todd) and nephew Michael Wynn (Crystal). Jim’s partner and family were the cornerstones of his life, and he cherished the time he spent with them.

His support, thoughtful advice, and the love he shared with friends and family, will be deeply missed. Flowers are gratefully declined; if friends so desire, donations in Jim’s memory may be made to the charity of one’s choice.
