DREHMANN: James ‘Jim’ Henry

Jim Drehmann passed away peacefully surrounded by family at Seaforth Community Hospital on Friday February 27th, 2026 in his 90th year. Loving husband to Marilyn Emily (Orr) Drehmann. Proud father to his two sons Jay (Kristine) Drehmann and Randy (Paige) Drehmann. Loving grandfather to Zachary (Madeline), Jake, Morgan, and Alex. Beloved Great Grandfather to Russell. Jim is predeceased by his parents Rita and George Drehmann.

Jim worked at Bluewater Centre for 33 years. Jim was an avid outdoorsman. He loved to hunt, fish, boat, and farm. If he wasn’t on the land, he could be seen driving by Goderich Beach. Jim was someone who was known to share a story or two while enjoying coffee with friends. He will be missed by many friends and family.

Cremation has taken place. A private family graveside service will take place in the spring. In lieu of flowers, donations in Jim’s memory can be directed to Alzheimer’s society of Huron Perth or the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters.

So lucky to have spent time with Papa. I will always remember his knack for story telling and showing his collections of “stuff” around the farm. I’m so glad that Russell was able to have known and spent time with his GREAT- Grandfather. Russell with Great Gramma and Great Pappa. So glad Pappa was a great storyteller so we can share with him❤️

“When I go, don’t learn to live without me, just learn to live with my love in a different way. And if you need to see me, close your eyes, or look in your shadow when the sun shines. I’m there. Sit with me in the quiet and you will know, that I did not leave. There is no leaving when a soul is blended with another. When I go, don’t learn to live without me, just learn to look for me in moments. I will be there.” Donna Ashworth
