Jamie Dumas Obituary
It is with broken hearts we announce the sudden death of our beloved brother Jamie Yvon Dumas due to natural causes at the young age of 52 on August 5, 2022 in Victoria B.C.Jamie was a geologist by trade, but wore many hats throughout his career. He left home and joined the Navy at 17, where he developed his love of the ocean. Jamie was a Navy Officer, tree planter, diver for BC Fisheries, teacher in China and Thailand, and a geologist travelling to Africa, Baffin Island and all across Canada. Jamie had a love for travel and was happiest being on the water, in the mountains or in the woods prospecting. He was a collector from a young age starting with stamps, rocks and fossils and an avid hunter of dinosaur bones in the Alberta badlands.Jamie was an animal lover and always had huge fish tanks and of course his many cats.He was a voracious reader from a young age and seemed capable of retaining everything he read. He was very knowledgeable in so many subjects. Jamie had a wonderful sense of humour. He was very witty and that was always followed by his big beautiful smile and his huge dimples.Jamie was the youngest of five children. He is survived by his mother Janet, his daughter Anya (the absolute love of his life) and her mother Laura, his second wife Julia and her son Saman. Also survived by siblings Debbie Whillans (Bruce), Bonnie Wakewich (Steve), Brian Whillans (Corlynn), Wendy Stajkowski (Norman), nephews Jordan Michels (Breanne) and daughter Eliana, Trevor Whillans (Julie) and son Ronan, Chase and Reid Stajkowski and many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.Predeceased by his father Yvon Dumas in 2018. As per his wishes, cremation has taken place and there will be no service. If desired, donations can be made to ‘New Hope Dog Rescue' through their Facebook page.

Condolences to the Dumas family. I will always remember the bright, happy guy he was at Lakehead. He would always have our professors on the tip of their toes with his questions. He will be missed by many. Sending peace and love to his family during this difficult time.

Such a huge loss for many - my sincere sympathy to Anya, Laura, and family as well as his many friends!
I am greatful to have had opportuity to work with Jamie for several years in Thunder Bay. I so enjoyed Jamie's great sense of humor, his ability to find a gemstone in every rock he touched, and what a great collector of fossils . . . . . . . . He left one behind when he moved out west . . . . . . It was not quite fossilized yet but it would be in time . . . . . A single muffin still in it's wraper eemained in the cabinet above his desk. Hope it's still there!!
Great memories of an awesome guy - Thanks Jamie for that!

Jamie was a wonderful man with a big bright smile that I´ll never forget. I remember him stopping by to say hi to my dad (who taught Jamie in grade school), and then later Jamie and I worked together at a mineral exploration company in Thunder Bay. I´ve loved watching Anya grow up from afar. Sending all my love to the entire family. You´re in my thoughts, such a terrible loss.
