A man of many talents and a lifelong learner, Jim explored a wide variety of careers and passions throughout his life. He served as a police officer, worked with Shell Canada, and was perhaps best known as the proud owner of The Oxtongue Craft Cabin for 16 years, where he became a familiar and beloved presence in the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jim embraced life wholeheartedly. His interests and hobbies were as varied as they were impressive \u2014 from flying, gardening, fitness, motorcycles, and music. He was a phenomenal skier in downhill, cross country, telemark and heliskiing. He held a deep appreciation for Canadian art, literature, and photography. Above all else, Jim had an extraordinary gift for friendship. He never met a person who didn\u2019t quickly become a friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jim will be lovingly remembered by his siblings Donna (Joslin), &nbsp;Bob (Dawna), Debra (Sutherland), Joanne (Art Graham), and Brenda (Lucarelli), as well as by his many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his siblings Jack, Heather (Good), Carol, and Steve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The family is grateful for the many memories, stories, and kindness shared by all who knew him. Jim\u2019s warmth, humour, adventurous spirit, and generosity will be deeply missed and fondly remembered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A gathering of family and friends to celebrate Jim\u2019s remarkable and impactful life will be announced at a later date. In memory of Jim, donations may be made to The Salvation Army or the Ontario SPCA &amp; Humane Society Muskoka Animal Centre.<\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is with deep sadness that the family of James \u201cJim\u201d Alexander Mitchell announce his passing on May 6, 2026, in Huntsville, Ontario, at the age of 81.
