Jim Heffner, 74, of Oshkosh, died Wednesday, July 20, 2022. He was born in Oshkosh on July 29, 1947, to the late Fred and Iva (Trexell) Heffner.

He attended Oshkosh High School. Jim served in the U.S. Army in Vietnam. On January 23, 1971, he married Charlene Corey. For 37 years he was employed at the Berlin Foundry. Jim attended Wyldewood Baptist Church (formerly Southside) for 60 years, serving as Head Usher, and assisted Wyldewood Christian School’s A.C.E. Student Convention. He enjoyed fishing, model airplanes, the Nelsons’, Ives’ and Patty’s Gospel-singing, watching westerns and visiting. His love for his Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, shined brightly; he was a real “people-person”. Jim’s son Lee said Dad had wisdom and Charlene describes Jim as a very loving, thoughtful, and honest husband. Jim fully trusted Christ, knowing that, “…the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:23b

Along with his parents, Jim was also preceded in death by siblings, Lita and Luis.
