James Maurice Maes

He leaves to mourn his wife of 26 years Leanne, children Tyler (Lisa), Jason and Jamie Lee, his Mom Margaret, his siblings Rob (Chloe), Marj (Wayne), Don (Sheryn), Dave (Wendy) and Ken (Marianne) as well as numerous nieces, nephews, and great-nieces and nephews.

James was born August 5, 1960. He worked for the province for many years but his heart was on the family farm where he and Leanne raised their three children. The farm was the location of choice for numerous family gatherings where James was a generous host.

James and his brother Ken worked hard to grow and develop the farm, instilling their values and passion in the children.

He was happiest tinkering in the shop and driving around checking the fields.

A memorial service will be held on Friday July 18 at 2:00 pm at Thomson “In the Park” Funeral Home, 1291 McGillivray Boulevard.

Many thanks to the RM of Macdonald EMS and the staff at the Victoria General Hospital and Father Barry Schoonbaert for their care and support.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the charity of your choice.
