MILLARD, JAMES (JIM) MARVIN – January 19, 1941 – January 2, 2024
It is with unimaginable and immeasurable pain that we share with you that our husband and father passed away on January 2nd at Haldimand War Memorial Hospital, after a sudden, unexpected and brief illness; our hearts are broken. Dad valued family above all else. He leaves behind to mourn him, as well as to cherish wonderful memories, his wife of almost 62 years, Mary (Winger), his daughter Laurie, and his daughter Kim (Pep). Dad loved and cherished his grandchildren Jeremy, Giovanni, Nick (Mikayla) and Michaela (Brandon), as well as his great grandsons Ben, Lucas, Shawn, Marco and the newest addition, expected in April and affectionately referred to as “Little Marvie”. Dad leaves behind his brother Bob (Myra, deceased), his sister Joan (Terry) and his sister-in-law Linda (brother Doug, deceased). Dad was a warm, loving, kind and caring man who will be missed by his extended family and friends. We could not be more grateful to the staff at HWMH, in both the ER and on the 3rd floor. In particular, we would like to thank Dr Reza Kazemi, Kathryn and Larissa. You treated our dad and us with gentleness, caring and compassion and we are very thankful. We would also like to extend our gratitude to Robin at Ballard Minor Funeral Home; she has provided us with support and guidance as we navigate through this process. As he wished, dad has been cremated and there will not be a service.
Dad was a very healthy and active man and he joyfully ran around his backyard in August, having a water gun fight with his three eldest great grandsons. Standing in front of me, dripping from top to bottom, he said, “I’m 82 and I was in a water gun fight; not all 82-year-olds get to do that. You have to live your life and do what you can, while you can still do it”…words to live by.
