James “Jim” Richard Minor 1946 – 2022
Minor, James “Jim” Richard of Vulcan, beloved husband of Christa for 53 years, passed away at the Chinook Regional Hospital in Lethbridge, AB on December 7, 2022 at the age of 76 years, after a 4-year battle with cancer.
Born in Magrath, AB Jim relocated to Trail, BC to start his family. There, he was active in the community as a member of the Greater Trail Health Council for 7 years as well as the Rossland Rotary President. He discovered Vulcan in 2012 and became active in that community as well. Jim and his wife were Arizona snowbirds for over 12 years, only stopping when COVID hit.
An active golfer, hunter, skier and curler, he nurtured a love for the outdoors with his family. He was a man of many trades, winding up the last 10 years of his career as a successful real estate agent. He was both a jokester and a man with a generous heart, and will be missed by many.
Besides his loving wife Christa, Jim is survived by his two daughters Yvonne and Sheri, four grandchildren Taylor, Brianna, Sierra and Brooklyn, two sisters Donna Dirr and Janet Risk and four brothers Bob, Neal, Ron, and Jay. He was predeceased by, siblings Fred Minor and Susan Cardinal.

We were shocked and so sorry to hear of Jim’s passing. We look back on special memories such as all of us learning how to play bridge, celebrating your first born, Friday night golfing and the trip to Kokanee. Jim was so proud of you, Christa, and also of his two girls and then later their families. Our deepest condolences to all of you. I’m sure that his passing has left a hole in your life, and hopefully all of your special memories will help you get through this sad time. Take care!
