July 4, 1946 – August 23, 2026

Mr. James “Jim” Irwin Pattison, age 80 years, passed away peacefully in Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre on Sunday, August 23, 2026 after a lengthy battle with Dementia.

Jim was born on July 4, 1946 in Port Arthur to Ross and Mary Pattison. He enlisted in the Canadian Armed Forces at age 17, serving for 23 years. Jim then worked at the airport with Thunder Bay Refuelling until his retirement. He enjoyed fishing, and playing tennis and pickleball.

Jim will be deeply missed by his brother Danny and his wife Donna; nieces Lanna (Rylan), Marissa (Matt) and nephew Brett (Leah) as well as great niece and nephews, Eila, Rory and Lucas. Numerous cousins and extended family also survive.

He was predeceased by his parents Ross and Mary (née Coughlin) Pattison and several aunts, uncles and other relatives.

Cremation has taken place and there will be no service. A private interment will be held at a later date in Riverside Cemetery, where Jim will be laid to rest with his mother and father.

Should friends so desire, in lieu of flowers, donations made to the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Foundation would be greatly appreciated by the family.

Arrangements have been entrusted to the WESTFORT CHAPEL, 420 West Gore Street at James.
