Charles James “Jim” Heffley, age 85, longtime resident of Willard, Ohio passed away on Saturday, January 17, 2026 at Embassy Nursing Home in Willard. He was born on January 31, 1940 in Brooklyn, New York to the late Charles and Alice Heffley.
Jim worked for and retired from the CSX Railroad after 44 years of dedication to his career. He was also a member of St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church in Willard. An avid sports fan who cheered on many teams, Jim lived and breathed for the 12 weeks in the fall when The Ohio State University football team would be playing. While his job and sports were two main joys in his life, being a loving husband and father were his most prestigious titles.
Jim is survived by his loving wife of 62 years, Sandra (McKee) Heffley; two sons, John Heffley (Amanda Rose) and Chris (Heidi) Heffley; and two grandchildren, Tyler Heffley and Jersey Heffley.
In addition to his parents, Jim was preceded in death by his stepmother, Anna Heffley; and brother, John Heffley.

Burial will be held at a later date at St. Joseph Catholic Cemetery in Willard.
