JAMES HOWARD JOSEPH SCOTT July 22, 1963 – July 28, 2015 Sadly, we announce the passing of Jim, peacefully, with dignity, on Tuesday, July 28, 2015 at the Health Science Centre, Winnipeg, aged 52. Remaining to cherish his memory are his loving wife Susana Scott (nee Cabral), children Christopher Scott (Ana), Kelsie Scott, Mathew Simpson, Brendan Simpson, and Victoria Scott, mother Deloris Dunning, sisters; Shirley Dueck, Linda Hiebert, Illa St. Goddard, brothers; Therin Harper and Jason Harper, in-laws Antonio and Adelia Cabral as well as many nieces, nephews and close friends. Jim was predeceased by his brother Leslie Scott and stepfather Gordon Dunning. Jim lived a full life with the time he had. All who knew him described him in the same way; a good man, who was genuine, with a kind and generous heart. Jim met and fell in love with his “Sus”, married her in 2002, years later, still in love he renewed his vows and married her again. Constant companions, Jim was happiest by her side. A committed and dedicated family man, he loved his kids, spending time with his family and was immensely proud of all their accomplishments. Always charismatic he had a way of brightening up a room with just his smile. He loved to dance, which he was good at and to sing (which he was not good at). He was a master of practical jokes, quick to make us laugh with his antics, made friends easily and always made a point to speak with everyone in the room. He prided himself with great BBQ skills (master of BBQ ribs) and cooking - recently mastering the art of the perfect cheesecake. He loved the outdoors, camping and skidooing and greatly enjoyed getting out of the city to his mother’s country home. Jim played high school football with the Hornets at Tec Voc and was a huge Bomber fan. He worked for almost 25 years with MacDon Industries as a welder-becoming Chargehand of their welding department and of course, made many good friends along the way. A devout man, Jim was a member of the St. Gianna Council (Knights of Columbus) (3rd Degree) where he was involved with charity work and fundraising activities. A good son, a good brother, a devoted husband, loving father, and a good friend - sadly missed by all who were blessed to know him.
