Obituary

EVANS, “Jimmy” James Wilfred  (1962-2021) Suddenly but not all that unexpected at his apartment in Toronto, Jimmy (aka Billy) moved out of this world on November 28, 2021. Jimmy was born, first of four army brats, in Alliston Ontario, to Margaret Gallant and James Williams Evans, lived in Brant then Germany, and finally spent most of his youth in Prince Edward Island or running away from it. He settled in Toronto where he earned his stripes, and became notorious as a window washer for over 30 years, living and working mostly in the Annex neighborhood. Jimmy loved to party. He was an artist and his photographs with long time collaborator Jeff Bierk were shown at the AGO, on billboards across the city and featured in many publications. 
Jimmy is survived by his brothers, Daniel William, Jeff Wallace, and Donnie Willard, as well as his daughter Kyme Jenkins with whom he was reunited in the last year of his life. His radiant personality made everyone who met him feel like a good friend, and for that quality he is grieved by too many of us to name. He brought his good humour and a fine romp to the Back 40 and to1011 Lansdowne, where he loved to live.
Family and friends are invited to visit the Cardinal Funeral Home at 366 Bathurst St, Toronto, (416) 603-1444, from 11am - 12 noon on Friday, December 17. A private memorial will be held from 12-1. Friends will be arranging a larger celebration of life in the community in the coming months. The family has requested that those that wish to attend the visitation and service only do so if they have received two doses of the Covid 19 vaccination.
