In Loving Memory of
James Fisher Lout

We regret to inform you with deep sadness of the passing of our oldest son, James Fisher Lout, on Tuesday, October 6, 2026, from a tragic fall.

Jamie as he was known will be remembered for the love he gave, the memories he created, and the lasting impact he had on the people around him. His greatest legacy will always be the family he loved so dearly and the many lives he touched throughout his life.

Jamie was the beloved first-born son of John David (JD) and Caroline Lout, and a much-loved brother to Brandon (Kaillie), Stefan (Constance), Patrick, Jordan (Sarah), and Natalie (Patrick). A loving uncle to Jack, Ava, Harper, Devon, and Raegan.

He was the loving grandson to John (deceased) & Helen Hollywood whom he had a very special bond with.

Also cherished grandson to Jim & Terre Lout both (deceased)

Jamie will be missed by his Aunts Katie, Suzanne, Annette (Martin), Michelle (Denis), Uncles John (Kelley), Mike and predeceased by Aunt D'Arcie. He was a proud cousin to, Scott, Corey, Taylor, Rachel, Kiera, Breanna, Noah, Cole and James. Also, his many relatives in the Lout & Hollywood families in Canada & Scotland. Jamie will also be fondly remembered by Courtney, one of his closest friends throughout his childhood and growing-up years.

Jamie faced struggles throughout his life, including a long and difficult battle with addiction. Through those struggles, he remained deeply loved by his family. He never wanted to be a burden, and those who knew him best understood that behind his struggles was a son, brother, grandson, uncle, nephew, cousin, and friend who loved his family deeply.

His family will choose to remember Jamie for the good times—the laughter, the stories, the childhood memories, and the moments that brought them together. They will remember his heart, his sense of humour, his kindness, and the unique place he held within their family.

Jamie was loved, he mattered, and he will be missed more than words can express.

Forever our son. Forever our brother. Forever part of our family.

The family would like to extend their sincere thanks to the community nurses and PSWs for helping him to remain at home for as long as possible. Also, many thanks to the staff and volunteers at Matthews House and Dr. Jansen for their care and compassion.

An avid poker player, he knew a good hand when he saw one. Although his journey was shorter than anyone hoped, he left us in a way that was fitting for him – just as he would at the end of a poker game, he simply said, “Game Over.”
