Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryALISTER JAMES (JIM) ROSS
Jim passed away at the age of 66 in Invermere, BC after a brief battle with an aggressive cancer.
Born in Bournemouth, UK, Jim came to Canada as an infant and spent his childhood growing up in Winnipeg, MB. He graduated from the University of Manitoba with a B.Sc in Geological Engineering and moved to Calgary in the early 1980s to begin a 37-year oil and gas career in Geophysics. In 2006, Jim was given the opportunity for international postings - he and his wife Stacy ultimately lived in Australia, Egypt and Scotland before returning to Canada in 2019. Together, they enjoyed being immersed in local cultures and made many friends and connections around the world.
His greatest passions were year-round fishing and golf. He loved to cook and enjoyed growing his own food garden.
He will always be remembered by his wife of 18 years, Stacy Townson, brother Herb, sister-in-law Valerie and nieces, nephews and cousins on the Ross and Baldock sides of the family. Also remembering are parents-in-law, Jim and Mary Townson, brothers-in-law, Chris (Colette) and Andrew (Linda), sister-in-law Kate and the extended Townson and Willis families. Jim was predeceased by his parents, Bill and Norma (nee Baldock), his brother Barry and sister-in-law June.
As Jim was a private person, no formal services are planned. Family will gather privately to remember Jim and share memories at a later date.
Memorial donations, if desired, may be directed to the Canadian Cancer Society, Prostate Cancer Awareness, the Prostate Cancer Foundation Canada, or to other charities of your choice.

My favourite memories of Uncle Jim are getting to go and watch him play Junior football for the St. Vital Mustangs. Some of the most exciting games were played in the late Fall in Winnipeg - which meant freezing weather - but usually a successful day. I remember the team competed for a National Title during their best season. Our deepest condolences from Mike and Lori - Posted by: Michael Ross (Nephew) on: May 26, 2024
