JAMES FILIPUZZI
(1949-2017)
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of James Angelo Filipuzzi of the Crowsnest Pass who battled valiantly against cancer but unfortunately succumbed to his illness on April 7, 2017 at the age of 67 years.
Jim was born on August 16, 1949 in Blairmore, Alberta to proud parents, Primo and Elda Filipuzzi. His childhood years were filled with fun and adventure and he befriended many members of our community. Having a large family always around him, Jim was grateful for the support and care they gave him. He truly appreciated the majestic beauty of this area and never strayed. He enjoyed the outdoors photographing the landscapes and wildlife, walking his canine companions and caring for all animals, playing hockey, frequenting garage sales and tinkering in his garage with all sorts of inventions and repairs. His talent with his hands and trouble-shooting skills paved the way to his employment as a certified electrician. A man of quiet faith and compassion, he was an inspiration to so many of us. He led by example and did his best to be someone you could depend on.
Jim was blessed with a family whom he cherished; a proud father and devoted husband, he dedicated his heart and soul to their happiness. He suffered many trials and failures and celebrated many accomplishments and successes. He lived his life well and will be dearly missed and fondly remembered.
Left to mourn his passing and treasure his memory include his wife, Mary Filipuzzi of Blairmore; his children, Duane (Leah) Filipuzzi of Pincher Creek, Jamie (Nikki) Filipuzzi of Vernon and Carey (Dave) Attwood of Nanton, Carrie Still of Carbon; his grandchildren, Ryden Attwood, Riley Attwood, Morgan Filipuzzi, Mataya Filipuzzi, Damyn Filipuzzi, McCoy Still and Sawyer Still; his brother, Kim (Peggy) Filipuzzi; his sisters, Judy (Steve) Dangerfield of Vauxhall, Adeline (Don) Murlin of Lethbridge and Donna Jumarchuk of the Crowsnest Pass; and numerous nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.
He was predeceased by his first wife, Candice Filipuzzi; his parents, Primo and Elda Filipuzzi; and his brother, Allan Filipuzzi.
