JAMES DOUGLAS MARKS

April 18, 1957 - May 14, 2023

Jim Marks passed away suddenly at his home in Gimli on Sunday, May 14, 2023. He is survived by his wife, Irene, and his son, Thomas, by his sister, Cathy (Ian Gerrard), brothers, Glenn (Diane), Will and Ray (Sarah), and by his brothers and sisters-in-law, Kris (Bill Perlmutter), Lynne Erickson (Otto Christensen), Thora (Pascal Delaquis), Karl (Darlene Fridfinnson), Glen (Yumi Kobayashi), Alma (Mark McCaffrey) and Lorna, and their families. He was predeceased by his parents Lorne and Eleanor Marks, sister-in-law Vicki Marks, his parents-in-law Dr Bjarki and Borga Jakobson, his brothers-in-law, Gestur Jakobson and Gunnar Valdimarsson, and his sister-in-law, Tracy Jakobson.

Jim had a lot of friends in Newdale and Strathclair, where he grew up, and in Gimli, where he had lived since 2003. There’s a big hole in our lives. We want to thank all Jim’s friends for being a part of his life, and for their support through this hard time.

There will be a Celebration of Life at the Neil Bardal Funeral Centre at 3030 Notre Dame Ave. at 2:00 p.m. on May 31, 2023. For more information, to leave a message for the family or watch the webcast of the Celebration, go to James Marks memorial page on the website www.neilbardalinc.com .
