James Dean May

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Husband, Dad & Poppy, on July 31st, 2019 at the age of 58. Jim was surrounded by his loving and devoted family during his brief battle with cancer. Jim leaves behind a treasured path of family; his loving and beautiful wife of 39 years Lori May (Sherren). His devoted children; Jessica Martins (Carlos), Amanda Roopnarine (Kiran), James May (Laura) and his beautiful Grandchildren, who absolutely adored their Poppy; Ethan, Oliver, Elle, Aliyah, Kaili, Layla, Carter and Cal. Jim leaves behind his brothers and sisters; Barry May (Tracey), David May (Wanda), Cathy Ford (Brian) and Lynn Gibson (Dave). Jim was predeceased by his parents James Albert May and Mary Evelyn May (Wilson), and his brothers Gordon (Gary) May, Robert (Bob) May. Jim will be missed by his many nieces and nephews and extended family. Jim had a 35 year career working for P & H Milling/Dover Industries doing a job that he enjoyed. Jim volunteered in his community for many years as a coach and a mentor with his children and grandchildren; softball, baseball, ringette and hockey. Jim enjoyed many volunteer hours at the hockey school with Al and Ron. Jim and Lori loved to travel and met many friends along the way. Jim also enjoyed playing golf, bringing both skill and humor to the golf course. A special thanks to our lifelong friends Rosaire and Kathy Morrison for all their love and support. The family would like to thank all the staff at Lisaard house for their brief but compassionate care during Jim’s stay. A celebration of life will be held in Jim’s honour on Thursday August 15th 2019 at Whistle Bear Golf Club, 1316 Dickie Settlement Rd., Cambridge, Ontario from 6-9pm, all welcome. In lieu of flowers, donations to Lisaard house would be appreciated by the family.
