Jim Boothe

Jim Boothe, much loved and dedicated husband of the late Carolynn Boothe (2012) passed away at the Chatham-Kent Hospice on April 24, 2026 at the age of 74.   He will be missed greatly by his son Dennis (Kat), his daughter  Stephanie (John), his daughter-in-law Wendy (late Jimmy) (2019) and his grandchildren Kirkie (Alex), Kalvin and Lexie.  He was looking forward to being a first time great grandpa in May.  He will also be missed dearly by his partner Sue who helped him to enjoy life again.

He was one of twelve children born to the late Elizabeth & George Boothe and is survived by his siblings Elizabeth DeBaene (Wayne), Susan Daly (Brian), Emily Daly, Georgina Boothe, Kathy Gehl (Dave), Joe Boothe (Leanne), John Boothe (Donna) and George Boothe.  He was predeceased by his brother Bob Boothe (survived by Laurie) and his sisters Pam McCullough (survived by Ron) and Lynn Ameel.

Jim was raised in a time when hard work and determination weren’t just values – they were the way you built a life.  And he carried those qualities with him every day.  His presence was quiet but powerful.  He was a truck driver, farmer and strong provider who was happiest when his fingernails were dirty.

In keeping with his wishes, a private graveside service will be held in Evergreen Cemetery where Jim will be laid to rest with Carolynn and Jimmy.  A Celebration of Life at a later date will be announced.
