Jim Januch— Family and friends are deeply saddened by the loss of Jim Januch, who passed away on October 18, 2024, at Hamilton General Hospital. Jim’s passing has left his loved ones in shock, and those close to him are remembering the impact he had on their lives.
Jim was placed on life support following a tragic event, and his daughter, Katherine Januch, made the difficult decision to respect his wishes and take him off life support after understanding the extent of his suffering. She hopes Jim has found peace and is now reunited with his family members and beloved pets.
A fundraiser has been organized by Katherine to assist with funeral costs, memorial services, and settling Jim’s outstanding debts. Katherine shared that Jim was known for his generous heart, always willing to help others, and now she hopes the community can support her during this challenging time.
The community has shown their support, with donations already pouring in. Contributions include $100 from Cornelis Noordam, $50 from Vanessa Bailey, and several other heartfelt donations. Katherine is hopeful that the donations will help ease the financial burden as she navigates this difficult period.
On Facebook, friends have shared their memories and condolences for Jim. Kam Kuzinski wrote, "The man, the myth, the legend, Jim Januch, you were a great mentor, but an even greater man. I will forever cherish what you taught me, not only about hauling cars, but life as well. I will always remember that infectious smile of yours, rest easy my friend."
Tony Copland reflected on their friendship, saying, "Jim was a great friend. I met him in 1980 when he was backing into a loading yard and dropped his trailer wheels in the ditch in Stoney Creek. We were friends ever since. I can’t believe he’s gone, what happened to him?"
Additional heartfelt messages have come from others, such as Glen Kerry, who mentioned, "Went to high school together, spent lots of time with Jim. Great guy. What a loss, we will miss him."
Jim’s passing has deeply affected his family and the many friends who had the privilege of knowing him.
We extend our deepest sympathies to Katherine and all of Jim’s loved ones during this heartbreaking time. May Jim rest in peace, and may his family find comfort in the memories and love they shared.
