Danny Rodney James

Danny Rodney James, born November 18, 1946, to Arthur and Florence James,

passed away September 30, 2024, at Royal Victoria Hospital in Barrie.

Pre-deceased by his older brother Art; survived by younger siblings Dave (Lauralea),

Cheryll (Dave), Arlene, Keith (Linda), Heather (Gerald) and Kim.

Sadly missed by step-son Joel, and many nephews & nieces.

 The little guy with the big heart could always be relied on if you needed him. He was

 always there to help out in any way possible, you just had to ask. As one of his fellow

  Rotarians wrote, "he really impressed me as a shirt sleeves up, head down type of

 guy." Dan was a multi-talented personality. His achievements include Gymnastic

 Championships, actor in two CBC productions and 3 Masters Degrees. He worked in

 the tech industry in Canada and the U.S.A. Retirement brought him back to Canada

 and a condo in Collingwood. When he decided he wanted "a place where he could step

 out the door and onto his own yard" he began looking around Ontario and found his

 Eden in Huntsville. He enjoyed his retirement years spending fun times with family, all

 the friends he made along the way and the quality time spent volunteering with the

 Rotary Club.

A Celebration of Life will be held at the Royal Canadian Legion , 21 Veteran’s Way, Huntsville on Saturday, November 2, 2024 from 11-2 pm.

In lieu of flowers, memorial remembrances to Heart and Stroke or the Huntsville

 Hospital Auxiliary would be greatly appreciated.
