February 15, 1944 - April 14, 2025
In loving memory ~
With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of James Anderson at Cowichan District Hospital on April 14, 2025, at the age of 81. Born in Glasgow, Scotland, James was the beloved husband of Aileen Anderson for 56 wonderful years. He was a devoted father to Stephen Anderson (Darlene), Alison Isaak (Brad), Caroline Nagtegaal (Mark), and Gillian Colyn (Darren), and a cherished "Big Bubba" to his 18 grandchildren and two great-granddaughters.
James was predeceased by his loving parents, Margaret and William Anderson.
James lived a rich and adventurous life - captaining soccer teams in his youth, sailing aboard the Puffers and serving in the Merchant Navy, enjoying memorable travels in Bermuda, and eventually immigrating to Canada. Over the years, he embraced many roles: hobby farmer, HVAC engineer and instructor, and a dedicated volunteer with Alpha ministries and Overseas Mission (OM) in Croatia. Through all seasons of life, James was known for his faith, compassion, generosity, humour, and steadfast love for his family and friends.
A Celebration of Life will be held at 11:00am on Saturday, April 26, 2025 at New Life Baptist Church, 1839 Tzouhalem Road, Duncan, BC.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made through New Life Baptist Church to the Cowichan Valley Basket Society or The Lord's Pantry.
