HANNAH, James “Jim”
1939 – 2022
It is with the deepest sadness the family announces the passing of James (Jim) Hannah, 82 on April 20, 2022, at 5:55 pm at Blanche River Health Kirkland Lake Site.
Jim was born on September 5, 1939, in Englehart spending most of his childhood in Otto Township. He has been a lifelong resident of Kirkland Lake. He spent his life enjoying the outdoors, fishing, and spending time with his family and friends. He worked for the Mayflower, in lumber mills, hauled lumber, and drove every piece of large heavy equipment made. He also worked as a janitor at King George Public School for many years and then returned to truck driving once again. Jim had a kind heart and enjoyed helping everyone. He was well known by all and for telling jokes. Everyone who knew him would always be cracked up with laughter. It was very seldom that you would find him miserable. He was always a happy person, smiling and caring. He loved and cared for everyone. He lived a full loving life with his 2 wives and 8 children. Jim left an impact on everyone he met. He met both of his ex-wives at the same sawmill. Haha.
Predeceased by his parents Andrew Hannah and Matilda Hannah, brothers Steve Hannah and Art Hannah, his grandson Adam Pearce and ex-wife Rita Manseau.
Survived by his siblings Susan Perry (Carson), Anna Witty (Ross), sister-in-law Jacquey Hannah, Robert Hannah (Darlene), Kathleen McKinney (Dave), Bruce Hannah (Anna), and numerous nieces and nephews.
Loved by his children Brenda Pearce (Derrick), Judy Hannah (Rick Ross), Rose Hannah, Christine Hannah (Shane), Michael Hannah (Cathy), Johanne Hannah, Billy Hannah (Abby), and Nicole Hannah (Kenneth).
Sadly missed by his grandchildren Mark Pearce (Leah), Taylor Tennant, Brianna Tennant, Adrian Hannah, Kaylee Hannah, Meleena Hannah, Jaydin Hannah, Isabelle Hannah, Joey Arsenault, Melanie Hamel, Cassandra Hannah, Jessica Cooper, and Edward Cooper. And his great-grandchildren Theo Pearce, Colton Tennant, Greyson Tennant, Damien Hannah, Rebekah Hannah, Elijah Hannah, Georgie Cooper, and Harold Cooper.
He will be deeply missed by his family and friends. In keeping with Jim’s wishes cremation has taken place and a graveside service will be held in July.
