Unfortunately the ‘shit winds’ have stopped blowin’. John Dunsworth, the actor most known for playing Jim Lahey on the cult TV show Trailer Park Boys, has passed away. On the show, Jim Lahey was an alcoholic trailer park supervisor who was notorious for trying to sabotage the trailer park boys’ endless supply of get-rich-quick schemes.

This Monday actor and sister Sarah Dunsworth tweeted of his passing: “With heavy and broken hearts the family of John F. Dunsworth would like to let people know that our amazing husband, father and grandfather John Dunsworth has passed away.”
Many other actors of the show have gone on to tweet their respects for the actor. He may be gone, but fortunately the series was long lasting and will give us many hours to marvel in his work.
