James Merriam Obituary

We are sad to announce that on September 19, 2020 we had to say goodbye to James Merriam (Tara, Ontario). Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of James Merriam to show support.

He was predeceased by: his grandchildren, Liam and Rachael; and his daughter Rhonda (Peter). He is survived by: his wife Mary Ruth; his children, Tyson (Lara), Kiera (Matthew), Cathy (Jim) and Pam (Jeremy); his grandchildren, Aaron, Thomas, Isaiah, Emma, Abbey, Christopher, Melissa, Sean, Patrick, Claire, Tori, Tyler and Ryan; and his great grandchildren, Brady James and Blakely Elizabeth.

At Jim's request his casket will leave from the Paul H. Eagleson Funeral Home in Tara on Thursday morning, September 24 at 10:30am on a wagon pulled by his mules Sly and Jenny and driven by his very good friends Durk DeVries and Don Roi, accompanied by Jim's grandson Sean, to arrive at the Tara Cemetery at 11:00am where due to COVID-19 restrictions, a private graveside service will be held.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations will be appreciated to G.R.A.C.E., Tara United Church or Tara and Area Food Bank.
