James "Jim" Edwin Rehm
Body
James "Jim" Edwin Rehm, 72 of Coloma, WI, passed away on October 10, 2023.
He was born on January 12, 1951, to Edwin and Janice Rehm (Standard) in Watertown, WI.
Jim was a bold, yet fair individual who made a lasting impact on those around him. Jim attended Lake Mills High School before embarking on his career as a truck driver for his family's egg business in Lake Mills (Shorecrest Farms). Upon the sale of that business and subsequent passing of his Father, he spent a portion of his life driving over-the-road before creating a trucking company of his own in 1991 (Shorecrest Express). That career change allowed him to remain close to home/at home as Jim's dedication to his children was his shining achievement.
Outside of work, Jim had a passion for stock car auto racing. Spending many years of weekends at Jefferson Speedway (WI) competing with friends while creating lifetime relationships that have been continued down through multiple generations of his family. Jim enjoyed riding motorcycles and tinkering with his semi-trucks. These hobbies brought him great joy and provided satisfaction for his affection to mechanical devices. Jim also enjoyed watching his grandchildren perform in their many interests.
Jim is preceded in death by his mother and father, and his sister, Mary Anton.
Jim is survived by his sister Sue Reinen and his children Dana (Paul) Suchomel, Derek (Heather Disch) Rehm, Melissa (Brandon) Hafeman, Bridget (Jason) Hockerman, and Robin (Billy) Nix. Grand‐ children Addison, Elliott, Kali, Blake, Olivia, Mayson, Chase, and John. Nephews, Christopher (Alyssa) and Nick (Becky).
No Memorial Services are planned at this time. A celebration of Jim's life will be held at a later date, the details of which will be shared with friends and family. Jim will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him. His memory will forever live on in the hearts of his family and friends.
Jim's family would like to thank the entire nursing and doctors' staff at Riverview Hospital on the second floor for their kindness and care of Jim.
