James Foreman Obituary
Jim is survived by his wife, Cheryl (nee Janey) of 54 years; and his three daughters and three sons-in-law, Darcy and Jay Gagne of Dyersburg, Tennessee; Christy and Michael Freeman of Tampa, Florida; and Tracy and Tim Heath of Flower Mound, Texas. He is also remembered by four grandchildren, Gus Gagne, Gwen (Gagne) and Garrison Edwards, Helena Heath, and Jameson Heath; and three great-grandchildren, Elena, Ace, and Jack Edwards. He also leaves one sister and brother-in-law, Joanne and William Church of Lansing, Michigan, as well as two nieces and one nephew and their families.
Jim was born in Tampa, Florida to Lewis and Shirlee Foreman. Shortly after his birth, the family moved back to Shirlee's native city, Detroit, Michigan where Jim grew up. He graduated from Wittenburg University in Springfield, Ohio.
Jim held several professions over his lifetime and made an indelible impression on all who worked with him. He was still working until he resigned just two weeks before his passing.
A private memorial will be held by the family.
Contributions in his memory may be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital or Hospice & Palliative Care of the Piedmont.
