Jim Hopson Obituary – We are struggling to come to grips with the passing of our great friend and former board chair, Jim Hopson, and our hearts are heavy as we experience this loss today. Our hearts are broken, and our community is filled with a tremendous feeling of loss as a result of Jim’s passing. We come together to pay tribute to his memory, to celebrate his legacy, and to offer our most sincere sympathies to Jim’s family and friends during this trying time.
He was a pillar of strength, leadership, and integrity in our organization as well as in the Regina community as a whole. Jim Hopson was more than just a coworker; he was exceptional in all of these areas. It was during his spectacular career with the Saskatchewan Roughriders, where he served as CEO, that he demonstrated his unrelenting dedication to greatness and his enthusiasm for creating a meaningful influence in the lives of other people.
Jim brought his vast experience and knowledge to our team at the Conexus Arts Centre in 2015, where he served as our renowned board chair. He brought with him a plethora of experience and expertise. The path that our organization is headed in and the advancement of our purpose to improve the cultural environment of Regina and beyond were both significantly influenced by his leadership, counsel, and support.
The level of commitment that Jim displayed towards the Conexus Arts Centre and the people of Regina was unmatched. In each and every decision that he made and in each and every encounter that he had, his constant attempts to encourage cooperation, innovation, and inclusivity were clearly visible. Jim’s influence was felt far and wide when he was involved in a variety of activities, such as promoting new ideas, campaigning for the arts, or providing assistance to those who were in need.
In addition to his accomplishments in the professional world, Jim was a cherished husband, father, grandfather, and friend. Putting his family first was the most important thing in his life, and he took great pleasure in spending time with his loved ones, thereby making memories that will be treasured for the rest of his life. His genuine concern for other people, along with his warmth and kindness, won over the hearts of everyone who had the honor of getting to know him.
While we are saddened by Jim’s loss, we find solace in the legacy that he leaves behind, which is remarkable for its leadership, compassion, and generosity.
