James Paret, Burlington, ON—The community of Burlington mourns the loss of James Paret, who passed away on August 3, 2024, after a courageous battle with esophageal cancer. James, a devoted husband, father, and friend, was known for his strength and perseverance throughout his two and a half years of fighting the disease.
In memory of James, Laura Johnston has organized a fundraiser as part of the 2024 Toronto Tough Mudder, set to take place on September 15th. The event, which has become a three-year tradition, aims to honor James’s legacy by raising funds for the Canadian Cancer Society, a cause that was dear to him and his family.
As of today, the fundraiser has reached $275 of its $1,000 goal, with four generous donations from supporters including Robert Weir, Samantha Johnston, Elizabeth Smith, and Mark Yung. The community continues to rally behind this effort, showing their support for cancer patients and their families.
James’s memory will be carried forward by those who knew him and by the efforts of the community to make a positive impact in the fight against cancer.
We extend our deepest condolences to the Paret family during this difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
