Obituary

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Thomas Henry Jacques in his 64th year, lifelong resident of Port Elgin, Ontario on Thursday August 21st

Tom will be dearly remembered by his sisters Suzanne Jacques (Jim Wade), Dianne “Mini” Jacques, and his brother Bill Jacques. He was predeceased by his parents, Merton and Catherine Jacques. Fond memories will also be cherished by his niece Nikki, nephews David and Thomas (TJ), and many cousins across Bruce County and in British Columbia.

Sports were a true passion—whether playing hockey for the Bears, Sunocos, Rosner’s, and Winterhawks, or baseball with the Bisons and the Damn Weasels. Tom treasured the camaraderie both on and off the ice and field, with countless gatherings at his Mill Street “clubhouse.”

His Legion family and many lifelong friends were a constant source of joy and comfort, and especially in recent months. A proud and active member of Port Elgin Royal Canadian Legion Branch 340, Tom served for many years on the Executive, best known as the go-to organizer of the Legion’s popular meat rolls.

Tom worked proudly as an electrician with IBEW Local 1788 and PWU in various electrical roles until his passing.

He faced his illness with courage and gratitude for the care and support he received. At his request, cremation will take place, and he will be laid to rest alongside his parents at Sanctuary Park Cemetery, Port Elgin.

Tom will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and his community.

A life well lived with friends, good times, and community involvement.  He was a man who looked for the best in others and gave the best he had.

Rest easy Tommy…..

In lieu of flowers donations may be made to The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 340 in Tom’s name.
