James MAYHEW Obituary

JAMES 'JIM' MAYHEW We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of James 'Jim' Mayhew, in his 80th year, on Sunday, July 9, 2023, surrounded by his loving family, after a brief stay at VGH. Jim led with his heart. His advice, wisdom, and sincere kindness and caring benefited countless souls, from corporate CEOs to his adoring grandchildren. Jim leaves behind his wife and love of 58 years, Joan; son, Ken (Suzanne, Kate, Lia); son, Brian (Sharon, Benjamin, Christopher); daughter, Cathy (Darren, Jaime, Alyssa); son, Keith (Dore, Owen, Ethan and Erik); and his brother, Bob and his family. A celebration of life is being planned for later this summer. The family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the institution that gave Jim more than two decades of extended life - VGH and UBC Hospital Foundation, with particular gratitude for the excellent care of Dr. Thomas Nevill and Dr. Carolyn Icton, his family doctor. Jim led a life well lived and well loved.

So sorry to hear the sad news. Jim coached my oldest son in hockey when he was only six years old more than 40 years ago. Although our relationship was for a short time, Jim left a lasting impression with our entire family. He truly was a special man. Condolences to his entire family and may he rest in peace.
