It is with great sadness that we announce his passing on June 11, 2020 at his home in Sioux Narrows after a long battle with cancer. Beloved husband, father, pepe, grandpa, brother and uncle. Survived by his loving wife of 46 years Debbie (nee: Smith). Also left to mourn are his children Shanna and Dan Toews and their children Adam, Natalie, Rebecca and Lauren, Jeff and Lisa Ducharme and their children, Dominique, Rino and Devon.

Survived by his brothers, Larry, Darcy (Edna); sisters, Marilyn Chapman (Barney Brant), Denise Djarmocky (Paul); In-laws, Laurie Ducharme; Darrell and Barb Smith and Scott and Anna Smith. He is also survived by aunts, uncles, cousins and many nieces and nephews.

Predeceased by his parents Ted and Theresa (Meloche) Ducharme; brother Ken; in-laws Ben Chapmen, Bill and Bernice (Penman) Smith and "brother" Tom Wilson.

Jim was a dedicated law enforcement officer for over 30 years. After retiring from the Kenora OPP he went on to pursue his true passion of bass fishing. Jim spent many days out on the Lake of the Woods chasing the big ones.

At Jim's request there will not be a funeral.

The family of Jim would like to thank Dr. Kerry Anderson for going above and beyond, Dr. Rowena Lass for her years of care. A special thank you to Dawn, Alexis, Emma, Brianne, Candance and Teddy for all the amazing support, also LWDH, HSC Winnipeg, Cancer Care Manitoba and Sioux Narrows Ambulance Service for all their care over the years. We would like to thank the staff and management of Copperfin Credit Union for all their compassion and support shown to Deb. Thank you to all our family and friends for your unwavering support during this difficult time, you showed up when we didn't know we needed you.

If you so desire, please donate to Ronald McDonald House charities that support children with cancer and their families or the Canadian Cancer Society as Jim believed that no child should have to fight this horrendous disease.
