Jaime Tufts, Waverley, NS—Jaime Tufts passed away on July 14th, 2024, leaving behind a family in deep sorrow. His passing came after a sudden and aggressive battle with Cholangiocarcinoma, a form of liver bile duct cancer. Jaime’s daughters, Michelle, Stef, and Mel, are now faced with the emotional toll of their father’s loss, as well as the heavy financial burden that comes with his final expenses.
Jaime’s illness was diagnosed not long before his passing, and due to the rapid progression of his condition, he was unable to settle his affairs before leaving his family. With no life insurance or inheritance to cover costs, the family is now seeking help from friends and the community to raise funds to cover funeral, burial, legal fees, and probate expenses. Michelle Balcom, one of Jaime’s daughters, has organized a fundraiser to raise $8,000 to meet these financial obligations.
Many people have expressed their condolences and shared supportive messages on social media. Michelle Balcom wrote, "Losing our Dad has been the absolute worst experience of mine and my sisters’ lives. Very sudden and traumatic… we unfortunately have been left with a financial burden." Friends have stepped up to offer their thoughts and ideas. Aprile Mcnamee sympathized with the family’s situation, stating, "Good luck with the fundraising, if we can help in any way please pm with any ideas." Others, like Roxy Webb and Stacey Burgess, have offered to share the fundraiser despite personal constraints, while Shelly Pickrem conveyed heartfelt regret that she couldn’t assist financially but would share the campaign.
The family’s goal of $8,000 is to cover $1,500 in lawyer fees, $2,500 in remaining funeral expenses, and $4,000 for probate-related costs. Any additional funds raised will be donated to the Canadian Cancer Society in memory of Jaime Tufts.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Tufts family as they navigate this painful and challenging time. May Jaime’s memory live on in the hearts of his loved ones, and may the family find comfort and support from their community.
