With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of James Stuart Payne at the age of 68. Born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, James lived in several cities, including Germany, due to his father’s military service before settling back in Winnipeg.
A talented athlete, James excelled in shotput during high school. He later earned a Geology degree from the University of Manitoba, leading to a career in mining. His work with MMR contributed to a gold mine discovery, and his tenure at the Manitoba Government helped modernize mine claims in the province.
An avid outdoorsman, James loved camping, hiking, biking, kayaking, photography, and collecting minerals. In retirement, he and his wife, Rosalee, moved to Penticton, BC, to embrace nature’s beauty.
James is survived by his wife of 41 years, Rosalee; his son, Andrew (Taeyo); and his brother, Gordon. He was predeceased by his parents, Robert and Margaret, his in-laws, Bill and Olga, and his sister Valerie.
A celebration will be held in James’ honour at 1:00 p.m. on May 20, 2025, at Neil Bardal Funeral Centre, 3030 Notre Dame Ave., Winnipeg.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in James’ memory to Canadian Cancer Society.

I worked with Jim for many years. I appreciated our ability to talk out an issue and come out with a solution. I happy that he achieved his dream of moving to BC after retirement. - Posted by: Janet Forbes (Co-worker) on: May 10, 2025
