IN LOVING MEMORY
February 8th 1968 – August 11th 2025
James David, of Hamilton and formerly of Fenwick, passed away on August 11th, 2025, at the age of 57.
Fondly remembered by his sisters – Robin Levasseur, Anita Levasseur, Monica Gerritsen, and Rosie (Lonnie) Workman.Preceded in death by Brother Steven Levasseur, Father Jean Claude Levasseur & Mother Edith Levasseur, Uncle Karl (Christa) Blankenburg, Uncle Hans Otto Blankenburg,and Nephew Jessie Levasseur. He leaves behind nephews Cory, Christopher, Michael, Kyle and Colin, niece Jenna, Aunt Connie, great nieces and nephews and cousins in Ontario, Quebec and Germany.
He was known as James to many in Hamilton, but growing up we knew and called him David. He was the youngest of 6 children and our little brother. He had many friends in Hamilton and Leslie North of Fenwick was a true friend for many years. He enjoyed nature, hiking, camping, fishing, cooking, playing guitar, and listening to music.
Although our “little” brother had many challenges with his mental health, he was known to have a kind and generous heart, frequently giving to others what little he had. He also had a good sense of humour and was always planning for a positive direction in his life where he had hopes and dreams about a home of his own, a career and a future. His needs were simple.
A few years ago he lived at C More’s Villa, a resident care facility in Hamilton, while he recovered from surgery to regain back his eyesight. We are very grateful to the wonderful staff that cared for him during that time- Fred Seymour, Pat, Melissa and Michelle.
He had many helpers and angels along the journey of his life those at The Good Shepherd, The Mission & The Salvation Army, Mens YMCA volunteers, & The Hamilton Hub – Especially Jennifer Bonner (Social Worker/Patient Caring Angel).Thank you to all who took the time to get to know him and care about him.
In keeping with James David’s wishes, cremation has taken place and a Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
If desired, donations in James David’s memory to The Hamilton Hub, The Good Shepherd, Salvation Army, YMCA or The Mission would be appreciated by the family.
We will miss you more than you know my dear brother, I wish I could hug you one last time.💕
You will be deeply missed little brother by your sisters who loved you so dearly. Wishing we had more time together and more visits like we had in May this year, it truly was a wonderful day we all spent together. Remembering good times growing up camping, swimming and building snow forts! Love you David with all my heart ♥️
I miss my little brother, James David. We had some fond memories and you could really make me laugh. We enjoyed some times with Judy and your shenanigans. My heart goes out to all his friends that miss him, too. Rest in Peace, until we meet again.
