Harold James Heyman, M.D. “Jimmy”, 86, passed away peacefully on May 20, 2026, in Bettendorf, Iowa. He was the beloved husband of the late Judith (née Stiefel) for 40 years and Barbara (née Biegler) Fox-Heyman for 25 years. He was the loving father of Kurt (Anne Steadman) Heyman, Tanya (Scott) Zivin, Mark A. (Trudy) Fox, and Steven L. Fox. Harold was the cherished grandfather of Rebecca Heyman, Julia and Emma Zivin, Brandon M. (Kaitlyn) Fox, Jacob B. Fox, and Kaitlyn E. Fox and the adored great-grandfather of Asa Fox. He was the much-loved brother of the late Ruth (the late Norman) Ritter and a treasured uncle, great-uncle, and friend to many.

“Doc” was raised in the South Shore neighborhood of Chicago and was an alumnus of the University of Illinois Chicago Medical School. He served as a Captain in the United States Air Force, stationed in Thailand during the Vietnam War. An extraordinary man, Harold was kind, passionate, thoughtful, and caring. He was an anesthesiologist for many years at Illinois Masonic Medical Center in Chicago, where he was greatly admired and loved by colleagues and patients alike. His presence and kindness will be deeply missed by all whose lives he touched.
