Obituary For James William Wheaton
WHEATON, James William 1946-2022
It is with deep sadness that we announce Jim’s sudden passing at home on May 17, 2022. Born on June 9, 1946 in Halifax, he was pre-deceased by his parents Dorman (Bill) and Christine and younger brother Donald.
Jim is survived by his sister Sharon Michaud (Len) and nephews Michael (Tracy) and David (April) and Michael’s children William, Tristan and Ashleigh, who all reside in Ottawa. He also leaves behind cousins in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland.
Jim graduated from Queen Elizabeth High School in Halifax and then joined the Royal Canadian Air Force. He was stationed in Comox, BC, Cornwallis, NS, Sioux Lookout, ON and CFB Halifax. After leaving the armed forces he worked at several car dealerships in the Halifax area and once he retired he walked miles in and around Windsor Junction with his beloved German Shepherds Izzy and then Quincey. He enjoyed volunteering at the Halifax Jazz Fest and was an avid reader and sports fan, so if he wasn’t watching the action on TV could be seen sitting in the sun with a novel in his hands.
We would like to thank his friends Frank and Amanda and Ray and Dawn and his other neighbours who have been there for him the past few years while he dealt with various health issues.
There will be no visitation. Cremation has taken place and interment will be in Fairview Cemetery in Halifax at a later date.
If you wish to commemorate Jim please donate to the Canadian Diabetes Association, Nova Scotia Heart & Stroke Foundation, Canadian Cancer Society or a charity of your choice.
