Morin

John R. "Jim" Morin, 56, of Hillsborough, New Hampshire, passed away on October 20, 2026.

Born on April 11, 1970, Jim was the son of the late Paul and JoAn (Remacle) Morin. He grew up in Dunbarton, New Hampshire, where he developed his love for farming at an early age and became an active member of 4-H.

Farming was Jim's lifelong passion. He spent much of his life working on farms in both South Dakota and New Hampshire. He had a special love for tractors and enjoyed the simple pleasures of farm life. Outside of farming, Jim enjoyed riding motorcycles, snowmobiling, hunting, and spending time outdoors.

Jim was hardworking, fiercely independent, and known for his stubborn streak. He had a quick wit and a knack for coming up with humorous sayings that brought smiles and laughter to those around him. Even as physical challenges made it harder for him to enjoy the activities he loved, Jim never lost his sense of humor or the independent spirit that made him who he was.

Jim is survived by his brother, Paul Morin of South Dakota; his sisters, Leah MacDougall and her husband, William, of Fredericksburg, Virginia, Robin Morin of St. Johnsbury, Vermont, Christine Morin of Boscawen, New Hampshire, and Jill Schneider and her husband, Chad, of Richlands, North Carolina; as well as several nieces and nephews.

Jim also leaves behind his dear friends, Michael and Michelle Powell and their family of Hillsborough, New Hampshire, who became like a second family to him. Jim and Michael shared a particularly close friendship, with a bond much like that of brothers. Their kindness, companionship, and unwavering support meant a great deal to Jim, especially in his later years.

He was predeceased by his parents, Paul and JoAn (Remacle) Morin, and his brother, Peter Morin, who passed away in 1975.

A burial will take place in the spring at the New Hampshire State Veterans Cemetery, where Jim will be laid to rest alongside his parents.

Jim will be remembered with love by his family, friends, and all those whose lives he touched.
