Main-A-Dieu
With broken hearts we, the family, are very sad to announce the sudden tragic death of Arthur James ‘Jimmy’ Wadden on Saturday, August 29, 2020 on Grand Lake Road in Sydney.
Born on December 15, 1976, Jimmy was the son of Herman and Bridget (Parsons) Wadden.
Besides his parents, Jimmy is survived by his three children, Jessica, Mathew and Kaleb; brothers, James (Kelli) and Herman Joseph (Barbara); sisters, Juanita (Kevin) and Melissa; nieces, Tamara, Alyshia and nephews, Kyle, Austin and Ethan.
Jimmy was a lifelong commercial fisherman, whose passion was being at sea with his brothers and dad fishing for lobster and crab. He would also go with his sea bag for 35-day trips on offshore fishing vessels. Jimmy will be especially missed by his mom, whom he depended on because he was gone so much at sea. He will be remembered for always lending a helping hand when needed by his family and friends.
There will be no visitation. A private family wharf-side Memorial Service will be held to celebrate the life of Jimmy Wadden, with Fr. Evo Di Pierro officiating.
Donations in memory of Jimmy may be made to a charity of your choice.
Funeral arrangements are entrusted to the care and direction of Pier Community Funeral Home.
