James "Jimmy" Hayman

Jim was a proud Buckeye and Carolina Panthers fan who loved all things Halloween and ghost hunting. A true food lover, he especially enjoyed anything with peanut butter and chocolate. He worked in sheet metal in Columbus with Local Union 24 and took great pride in his trade. Above all, Jim loved spending time with his children and playing video games with them.

He is survived by his former wife, Kathy Hayman; his daughters, Abigail Hayman and Kaylee Hayman, whom he shared with Kathy; his son, Bailey Hayman, whom he shared with Deb Stansberry; and daughter, Adilyn Hayman, whom he shared with Katie Sullivan. He is also survived by his brother, Robert Hayman; sister-in-law, Yvette (Lee) Hayman; and many loving nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Robert and Elaine Hayman, and grandmother, Lucy Hayman.

The family extends a heartfelt thank-you to Zusman Hospice for their compassionate care. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Jim’s honor to Zusman Hospice.

A celebration of Jim's life will take place on Sunday, November 9th from 2-4PM at Gahanna VFW Post 4719, 75 W Johnstown Rd, Gahanna, OH 43230. Please dress casually and in your favorite sports attire.
