James (Jim) Stalker

James (Jim) Arthur Stalker 
1952-2018

On February 20, 2018 Jim Stalker passed away peacefully in his home, with his wife by his side.

Left to mourn his sudden death are his son Andrew (Ryan), brothers Ken, Doug, Robert (Christine), his wife Shirley, his nieces and nephews Karen, Brian, Leanne, Cathy, Mark, his step children Janet, Colette, June, Jason (Michelle) over a dozen grand children, his best friend and neighbor Jim and friend Maria (who taught him to cultivate his love of red wine and pasta).

He is predeceased by his parents Robert and Catherine Stalker and his step mother Iris Marguerite Stalker, and his beloved dog Angel.

Several years ago Jim retired from an over 30 year long career with the Winnipeg 1 School Division. He took great pride in the work that he did and there he met the love of his life Shirley.

His soft voice and gentle laugh helped create a wonderful feeling of community at both his workplace and in Matlock Beach where he resided with his wife Shirley. He always endeavored to make life happier for the people around him, and this was most apparent when he spent time with his son Andrew and grandkids, who he adored. Jim knew how to see the good in everyone and knew instinctively to always turn the other cheek. He was a true gentleman.

We ask that in honour of Jim’s kind soul, each and everyone be kind to each other.

Special thanks to the Matlock and Selkirk EMTs and the Selkirk RCMP, and Wayne (Selkirk EMT) whose profound compassion and caring will never be forgotten.

A Memorial Mass will be held on Monday, February 26, 2018, at 11:00 a.m. in the Our Lady of the Lake Roman Catholic Church, Winnipeg Beach, MB.
