James Magnus Teit

Jimmy is survived by his wife Jenny DeReis, his three children Magnus Teit (Alannah), Kirsty Gallant (Josh) and Katrina Nicholls (Dan) and step-children Tony Owston (Kirsten) and Teresa DeReis (Steph).

Jimmy worked as a Steam Operator for FMC (United Initiators) for 31 years, and although he could have retired a few years ago, he worked for the friendships and social relationships he had established over the years. His pride and joy were his grandchildren Gracie, Lennon, James, Wendel, Kaylie, Jamie and Kye. He was our best friend, companion, confidante, and strongest champion and supporter. Jimmy was always in your corner, always had your back, and his empathy and passion defined him. He was passionate and spoke his mind, and the beauty of Jimmy was that you always knew where you stood with him and what he was thinking. We all loved him so much and his strong presence and quick hugs will be missed by each one of us. Just before he passed away, he donated to the charity Toonie for Tummies, a program to feed hungry children in Prince George. He would love it if in his name, others contributed to this worthy charity. Jimmy believed passionately that no child should ever go hungry.

There will be a Celebration of Life when Covid restrictions are eased enough to say good-bye to this beautiful man in the way he deserves.
