James Theodore Bromm

James Theodore Bromm, lovingly known as Jim, passed away on November 12, 2026, surrounded by loved ones. He was born on October 31, 1947, in Jasper, Indiana.

Jim will be remembered as a hardworking, loving, and strong man whose life was shaped by devotion to his family, pride in his work, and a steady faith. He was lighthearted by nature, liked to joke around, and was always willing to help. A man of faith, he loved his family deeply and carried a special love and respect for his parents throughout his life. Even after suffering a stroke, Jim fought a courageous battle for seven and a half years, meeting that challenge with determination and refusing to give up.

He proudly served in the United States Navy during the Vietnam War, a chapter of his life that remained one of his proudest accomplishments. He also built a long career in appliance repair and later as a sales representative for Amana, traveling throughout the region east of the Mississippi. His military service and his career in sales were both sources of pride, reflecting his strong work ethic and commitment.

Outside of work, Jim found joy in many simple and lasting interests. He loved classic cars, especially Chevy cars, and enjoyed collecting them and attending car shows. He was a true handyman who could fix, build, or repair nearly anything. He also enjoyed spending time on the computer playing solitaire and watching HGTV and the History Channel. Among the moments he treasured most were outings with his grandchildren, especially enjoying a Blizzard together.

Jim was also proud to be a member of the Highland Lions Club, and he counted his family and grandchildren among his greatest blessings and accomplishments.

He is survived by his daughters, Denise Bromm and Kristy Yeter; his brothers, David Bromm and Randy Bromm; his grandchildren, Taylor Bromm, Ayshe Yeter, and Amelia Yeter; and his great-grandchild, Mason Jones. The love he shared with his family was at the center of his life, and his presence will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

He was preceded in death by his wife of 40 plus years, Patrica "Milam" Bromm, his parents, Othmar and Irma Bromm, and by his brother, Larry Bromm.

Jim’s life was marked by service, perseverance, faith, and love. He leaves behind memories of laughter, kindness, hard work, and a willingness to lend a hand whenever needed. He will be remembered with deep affection and lasting gratitude.
