STEADMAN, James

1945-2022

Jim Steadman passed away in Lethbridge with family by his side on Tuesday, Sept 13, 2022 at the age of 77 years.

Jim was the loving father of Cathy (Bruce) Cousins of Victoria BC and Kelly (Coreen) Steadman of Lethbridge AB. He is ‘Grandpa Jim’ to Sabrina, Neil and Robin Cousins, and ‘Papa’ to Avery and Lyle Steadman. Jim is survived by cousins, niece, nephews, his sister Shirley and close nephew Glen Schiltroth. He was predeceased by his mother Winnie, father Bill and sister Anne.

Jim moved from Flin Flon MB in his early 20’s and began a lifetime career as a professional truck driver. He worked in the industry long enough to joke that he was one of the first ice-road truckers. He retired with over 30 years of service at just his most recent job, having driven more than 4 million miles’ accident free. His sense of adventure included off-road 4-wheel driving, snowmobiling, Harley’s and seeing what was over the next hill or around the next corner.

Jim was a kind, thoughtful, generous man who was quick to lend a hand. He was a great storyteller, with a quick wit and sense of humour, the laughter will be dearly missed.

Those wishing to honour Jim are encouraged to take a friend out for coffee to share stories and a laugh; take that fishing trip; go on an adventure.

At Jim’s request, no formal service will be held. A private family gathering will instead take place at a later date.
