PALMER, James
- October 26, 2025
It is with great sadness to announce the passing of James (Jamie)Palmer, who died on October 26th, 2025 at the age of 65, after a courageous battle with cancer.
He will be dearly missed by his loving wife, Lisa and children, Amanda (Garth) Ryan, Hailey and his cherished grandchildren, Harper and Sawyer. Jamie is predeceased by his beloved daughter Megan Allen-Palmer. He is also lovingly remembered by his brother Alan (Lissa), niece Liz, nephew Jamie, as well as extended family, friends and neighbours.
Jamie valued his family and friends, was always ready to lend a helping hand, and he always had an open-door policy to everyone at any time or for a good party, game night or anything to have a cold beer. He was always so full of life, talking to everyone, positive, funny and an awesome cook. Even camping food was always a priority and source of pride. Jamie was a great storyteller; his adventures were above and beyond incredible and hysterical. His love and knowledge for travel, adventure and nature always amazed me.
Jamie’s journey ended short, but he had a hell of a ride. He always told me that he had no regrets and had a great life, and since meeting me, his wife, the last 22 years have been the best.
In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Lakeshore Oncology department or the Teresa Dellar palliative care residence.
In keeping with Jamie’s “joy de vivre”, we will have a celebration of life on November 15th,2025 from 12h00 to 16h00 at Carrefour Notre-Dame, 1300 boul Don-Quichotte, NDIP, J7W 1G2.
Please join us to raise one last glass in Jamie’s honour.

November 3, 2025 at 2:02 pmWe were so fortunate to not only have James as our neighbor but also to call him a friend. We knew James as a man with a big personality and an equally big heart. He cared. He was always thinking of others, and willing to lend a hand. His door was always open. We will miss his stories (he told them so well), his cooking, a good game of crib, all the laughs… Just hearing his voice that carried as he greeted passers by was so comforting and put a smile on our faces. He was so strong and fought so hard. We will miss him dearly and he will forever be in our hearts. Our deepest, heartfelt sympathies to Lisa and family.

November 8, 2025 at 12:48 pmJamie, we didn’t have a long time but we had a good time. Friends come and ad go over the years but you will be in my heart forever! You were always there for me, always concerned about how I was doing. You offered me a job and it was the best time I ever had, working for my best friend. We watched out for each other and leaned on each other. My only regret is I didn’t meet you earlier in life and losing you way too soon. I love you like a brother and my best friend. Looking at all these comments I know you touched so many lives. Lisa and family, I cannot even begin to understand your pain, may all your memories keep you warm and safe. Our whole family was devastated by the news, we send our love.

Lots of love Diane, Vince, Gabe and Theo
