Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryJAMES EDWARD WILLIAM NEWMAN Suddenly, on December 20, 2016, after a brief illness, Jim Newman of Stonewall, MB passed away at the Health Sciences Centre at the age of 63. Jim was born in Winnipeg on March 18, 1953. He went to school in Winnipeg and in The Pas and then went on to further his education at Assiniboine College in Brandon, where he was trained as a mechanic. While in The Pas he worked for CN Rail and Manfor and it was also there that he met his future wife Beverley. They were married in 1974 in Swan River and shortly after that they moved to Stonewall. Jim and his father Edward went into the trucking business together as Newman & Son which developed in the later years to become a landscaping and snow removal business. After a short illness, Bev passed away in 2000 and this was a great loss to the family. Jim enjoyed his landscaping company as it gave him a chance to meet new people and stay active. You could always see him having coffee and talking to somebody on the rock ledge overlooking his property. During Jim's last few years he enjoyed spending time with his grandson Asher, friend Kelly, and faithful dog Blue. Jim will be remembered by his son Michael Newman (Allison Kennedy) of Winnipeg, sisters Shirley (Don) Clark of The Pas, Kathy (Chris) Dickens of Winnipeg, Diane Lowe of Calgary, brother David (Helga) Newman of Calgary, grandson Asher, nieces and nephews, and many friends. Jim was predeceased by his wife Beverley, and parents Edward and Rose-Ann Newman (nee Klatt). Funeral service will be held on Tuesday, January 3, 2017 at 10:30 a.m. at MacKenzie Funeral Chapel in Stonewall to honour Jim's life. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to a charity of choice.

Sincere Condolences to Jim NEWMAN Family, Jim and I meet in the mid seventies hauling gravel out of the STONY MOUNTAIN QUARRY. We had many coffee's together at his gravel and top-soil business in STONEWALL. He was a great and caring person. - Posted by: Marcel Daignault (trucker friend) on: Feb 09, 2017

Upon my moving to Stonewall, Jim was one of the first people that became my friend. He always made me feel welcomed, always a funny story to be told and always a dear friend. Jim, you will be dearly missed. Your zest for life will remain as your memory of your infectious laugh and enjoyment for life! My deepest sympathy to the families Heather - Posted by: Heather Doroschuk-McSherry (friend) on: Jan 04, 2017

My sincere condolences. Jim was my 'dirt' guy, as I often told him, and he'd give me a hard time and tell me he'd deliver 'dirt' if I keep calling it that. He always had cookies in his pocket for my pup Bently, and Bently knew it so he'd give him a hard time when he forgot to put cookies in his pocket. He'd even stop by my yard when he saw Bently outside just to give him a cookie. I was a faithful customer for my soil and gravel, knowing I'd need to plan for a good hour visit with Jim when I needed soil. It was always a pleasure to have a chit chat with Jim. Good memories of such a genuine man. He is sadly missed. Nicole, Trent and Bently - Posted by: Nicole Nagy (Neighbor and customer) on: Dec 31, 2016
