James "Jimmy" Purkess Obituary
Passed away unexpectedly at the Uxbridge Hospital on Monday February 3, 2025, at the age of 71 years. Loved and missed by his mother Charlotte (late James), brother David and sisters Louise, Donna, and Darlene.
He will be greatly missed by his brother-in-laws Peter and Mike; his nephews Dean, Matthew, Brent and Kevin and niece Christina; as well Kayla and Brent and Kayla’s children Mila and Ava; his cousins Bobby (Gina) and Billy (Lisa), Deanne and Heather. He will also be greatly missed by his dear friend Lillian and her son Michael and cousin Courtney. As well, he will be greatly missed by childhood friends Mike (Lisa), Terry (Jo-Ann) Michael (Sharron) and Clinton (Barb), Donna and Dave, who remained connected to Jimmy all these years until his passing.
Jimmy had fond memories of the students and staff at St. Andrew’s College, his last place of employment before his retirement. In his retirement years, he loved to tinker with cars and motorcycles with David and his neighbour Peter. He especially loved to chat with all the neighbours on his front porch in Uxbridge.
Jimmy would want all his family, friends, and neighbours to live each day to their fullest and with kindness and integrity.
Special thanks to Dr. Usha Chada for her care to Jimmy for over 40 years.
Special thanks to Rev. Sean Astop for his gentle and caring words of comfort during Jimmy’s funeral service.
We trust that Jimmy is in heaven reconnecting with all our loved ones that passed before him. We loved you dearly Jimmy and you will remain in our hearts each day.
