MEISNER

It is with deepest sorrow and heavy hearts that the family of James “Jimmy” Derek Meisner, 56, of Mahone Bay Nova Scotia, sadly share his sudden passing on July 29, 2025 peacefully at home.

Born in Lunenburg and growing up over the years in Mahone Bay, Jimmy had a most wonderful appreciation for life. Upon completion of high school, Jimmy furthered his studies at NSCC, Bridgewater NS, in successful completion as an electronic technician in 1989.

In the years before his health concerns began taking their toll, Jimmy was always well known for his wisdom, dedication and utmost abilities within the work force, which included Highliner Foods Incorporated, and Stelia Aerospace North America; both located in Lunenburg NS. He was also a dedicated member of the Mahone Bay Volunteer Fire Department for several years.

At home he had a great passion for the nostalgic era, especially his idol Marilyn Monroe. Jimmy also had an eternal love for music, including his most cherished and beloved guitar; as well as a great fondness and unconditional love of all animals. With his passion and skill with computers and technology, he was always ready to lend his knowledge to those around him with patience and kindness. 

Throughout the duration of this most wonderful and precious life that we were all so very blessed to have shared with Jimmy over the years, his memory will always be a keepsake which will never part. Leaving us with a timeless message of love, remembrance and a very special bond that will fondly remain deep within the hearts of his family and closest friends.

James is survived by his dear mother Faye, brothers Chris, Paul (Carolyn), Dale (Kimberly), and his sister-in-law Patsy, along with several nieces and nephews.

He was predeceased by his father Donald, oldest brother Michael, and niece Sherry.

Cremation has taken place and has been entrusted to Personal Care Cremations and Memorial Services.  A service to commemorate James’ life will be announced at a later date in time.

In remembrance to honour a most wonderful and caring life as a son, brother, uncle and friend, memorial donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, Canadian Diabetes Association, and SHAID tree Animal Shelter.
