In memoriam of Jim Syms

In Memoriam

Jim Syms
ATA President: 2006 - 2008
Jim was a long time volunteer and contributor to the Alberta Thai Association - every opportunity where he felt he and his family could make a difference, he would be there, putting his heart and soul into this association.  He served for one term as ATA President (2006-2008) and was Chair of the Thai Pavilion at Heritage Festival for many years running, supporting the ATA in every way possible to make it successful. At his core, Jim was a caring man that was generous with his time, energy, knowledge, and resources. Many of us are blessed to have spent time with Jim, maybe over a drink or two, often discussing how we could work together to enrich the community efforts that continue to have a lasting impact on the ATA.
In September 2024, Jim began to feel unwell after a fall. Unknown complications from that event then led to a buildup of blood clots in his leg requiring surgery weeks later. While things looked alright after the surgery, as he was laughing and seemed like himself again, a severe blood infection in his body took him back to the hospital where he passed away quickly early in the morning of October 2, 2024.
Jim will be dearly missed by the ATA and the Thai community - we extend our deepest condolences to his family and loved ones.
Rest In Peace, Jim.
