Jamie Charles Spidla was born on March 24th, 1981, in Moose Jaw, SK. He suddenly left us on Friday, April 7th, 2023 at the age of 42 years. Jamie is survived by his parents, Dennis and Brenda; sisters, Kelly (Brent) and Kerri (Brad); nieces and nephews: Shay and Reece Woods, Ella and Evan Bourhis.
Jamie grew up on the family farm and he attended Limerick School from Kindergarten to Grade 12. Shortly after graduation, Jamie spent some time in the Oil and Gas Industry and went on to SIAST in Saskatoon, SK where he received his Heavy-Duty Mechanics Diploma. The skills learned would suit him well as he returned home to continue the legacy of Spidla Farms with his parents. Besides his passion for farming, a close second was his love for sports. An avid Edmonton Oilers fan, Jamie participated and excelled on many local sports teams. One of Jamie’s favourite past times was golfing with his buddies and talking classic cars.
Jamie’s ability to bring people together and his involvement in the local community will be sorely missed. He was always there for his friends and family. Jamie was proud to be surrounded by his circle of friends and fellow farmers that showed up without being asked and did what needed to be done.
He had a tremendous admiration for his nieces and nephews. He followed their activities closely and spoke fondly of their accomplishments to anyone that came to the shop for a visit.
He will be forever missed in our hearts but will never be forgotten. The family wishes to thank all those who made Jamie’s life better – he cherished those connections and friendships.
A Celebration of Jamie’s Life will be announced at a later date. In memory of Jamie, donations may be made to STARS Air Ambulance, 2640 Airport Road, Regina, SK S4W 1A3 for the work they do in Rural Saskatchewan or to a local charity of one’s choice. Arrangements are entrusted to Moose Jaw Funeral Home, 268 Mulberry Lane. Gary McDowell, Funeral Director 306-693-4550 www.moosejawfuneralhome.com
