It is with broken hearts that the family of James Christopher Jutras announces his passing on Friday, February 28, 2025, at Bluewater Health at the young age of 57.
James is survived by the love of his life Debora Jay and her children and grandchildren Nelson (Katelyn), Erica (William), Dakota, Jay, Dax and Lola.
James was a cherished dear brother to Michael (Lily), sisters Tracy and Shelley (Ray). He also will be missed by his nieces and nephews and their children.
Predeceased by parents Mike Yvon Jutras and Patricia Graham.
James was very talented in many different areas throughout his career. A Marine Mechanic at Sylvan Marine, Cottage Resort Manager at The Crestwood Inn with Debora and spent many years in Maintenance with The Forest Golf Club. He’s known best for his meticulous work ability, always so careful and no small detail ever went unnoticed by him.
James was a gentle soul, generous and kind. He spent many years making sure he kept his sisters safe when they were little riding the bus to school. He was their protector.
James enjoyed spending his free time over the years with Debora watching sunsets, going to Parry Sound for vacations and enjoying their home in Gallimere that they shared together. That was his everything.
We would like to send out a special thanks to Dr. Mall in Petrolia for all his compassionate care over the last few years. It is greatly appreciated.
Cremation has taken place. In keeping with James' wishes, a private graveside will be held at a later date.
Sympathy may be expressed through donations to a charity of choice (cheques only at the funeral home please). Arrangements entrusted to Smith Funeral Home, 1576 London Line, Sarnia.
