James “Jim” Aubrey Atchison

Passed away on November 7, 2024

With deep sadness, we announce the sudden passing of James “Jim” Aubrey Atchison on Thursday, November 7, 2024, at Bay Haven Care Community at the age of 63. Jim was the beloved son of the late William Atchison and the late Helen (née Flood), and a cherished brother to Mary-Ellen Colpitts (Murray) and Steve Atchison (Deb). He will be deeply missed by his nieces Michele Taylor (Mark), Alisha Keeling (Tristan), Stephanie Atchison (John), and by his great-nieces and nephews, Preston Taylor, Jackson Taylor, Rosalena Keeling, and Rory Keeling.

Born and raised in Owen Sound, Jim later moved to London, Ontario, before returning to Collingwood, where he felt happiest and close to his loving family. For the past 14 months, he was a resident of Bay Haven Care Community, where he enjoyed his time with fellow residents and the supportive staff. Jim found joy in fishing trips, reading comic books, birdwatching, exploring the outdoors, and sharing laughs with family and friends. Known for his warm smile and hearty laughter, Jim touched the lives of those around him.

The family would like to extend heartfelt gratitude to the compassionate staff at Bay Haven for the care and kindness they provided to Jim. Following cremation, Jim will be laid to rest alongside his parents at Zion Cemetery in Hepworth.
