It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of James (Jim) Albert Stebbing on January 25, 2026. Jim was predeceased by his beloved wife of 62 years, Mary Stebbing, whom he adored deeply.
Jim is lovingly remembered by his son Doug Stebbing of New Westminster, British Columbia, and his daughter Donna Durham and her husband Don of Blind Bay, British Columbia. He was a proud and devoted grandfather to Jason Durham and his wife Corinne, and their daughters Jessica, Cali, and Leena; as well as Nicole Ferguson and her husband Brian, and their children Anthony, Susanne, and Payten.
Born in Kamloops, British Columbia, Jim spent much of his working life in Alberta, where he worked in the oil patch before building a long career in the aviation industry as an aircraft mechanic. After retiring to the Shuswap, Jim quickly realized retirement did not suit him for long. He returned to work as a Service Manager at Captain’s Corner in Salmon Arm, where he continued to do what he loved — staying busy and helping others.
Jim cherished life in the Shuswap and became a well-known and respected member of the Eagle Bay community. He proudly served on the Board of Directors for the Eagle Bay Volunteer Fire Department and held the role of Secretary, contributing his time, dedication, and leadership to the community he cared for so deeply.
Jim will be deeply missed by all who knew him. His kindness, strong work ethic, and steady presence left a lasting mark on everyone fortunate enough to share in his life. He is now at peace and in the loving hands of the Lord.
