The family of Jim Macdonald invites the university community celebrate and remember our colleague and dear friend.

Jim had a passion for adventure and a zest for life that will never be forgotten. He’ll be remembered across campus for his generous spirit, sense of humour and willingness to help in any situation.

While we take time to process, grieve and navigate the deep void of Jim’s absence, let us also come together to remember, reflect and chat with one another — just like Jim would have done.

A celebration of life honouring Jim and his wife, Annie, will be held on Saturday, August 27, 2022 at 1 p.m. in Paul Byrne Hall (Robbins Health Learning Centre). Friends, colleagues and anyone who knew Jim are invited to attend.

In lieu of flowers, Jim’s family has requested donations be made in his name to MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving). Donations can be made on the GoFundMe page set up by Jim’s family.
