Birmingham has " lost a dedicated servant" with and " will not be the same without him" politicians have said as tributes pour in for The Veteran Labour politician.
The MP for Erdington died suddenly in his flat on Friday, The Shadow minister's family said.
Politicians from across the political spectrum in the West Midlands have paid tribute to the 73-year-old.
" Jack was A Man of The People , " Perry Barr's Labour MP Khalid Mahmood said.
He added Mr Dromey was selected to stand for the Erdington seat in 2010 " purely because of his record for helping working people" winning him the respect of people across the country, from both sides of the political divide.
Fellow Birmingham MPs echoed The View of Yardley's Labour MP, adding The City would " not be the same without him".
His death came just hours after Mr Dromey had spoken in a Commons debate on Afghan refugees and soon after he had attended a speech on Tuesday by Sir Keir Starmer .
" He was a bundle of energy, he was always on to The Next thing, he always had an idea, " Selly Oak 's Steve Mccabe told BBC Radio WM, adding that Dromey had always " loved" his constituency.
" A true Labour man, " the leader of Birmingham City Council, Labour's, " who served The People of Erdington With Passion and dedication".
The Shadow minister is Survived By his wife, fellow Labour MP Harriet Harman , and his three children.
He made his name in politics in The Union movement before winning the Erdington seat nearly 12 years ago and going on to serve in several senior Labour Party roles.
Analysis Correspondent, Phil MackieJack Dromey represented everything good about a serving MP. He campaigned steadfastly for his constituents, whether they voted for him or not.
He happily worked alongside colleagues from other parties when they shared a common goal, whether to promote Erdington, Birmingham or the West Midlands .
Contrary to The General view that politicians are in it for themselves, he was not untypical. When I covered stories in which he was involved he was always honest, straightforward and helpful.
He was also a pro. When in need of a clip for an imminent news item, you could say, " Jack, could you sum that all up in 20 seconds? " - and after a brief pause he would, in exactly 20 seconds.
Andy Street , The Conservative West Midlands Mayor, described him as a " dedicated servant" of Birmingham and tweeted a statement describing Mr Dromey as " a true democrat".

Tributes have also been paid by other figures in the region including The Chief Constable of West Midlands Police, Sir Dave Thompson , who called him " a good friend to policing".
