Our dad, nephew, brother, friend and cousin, Rondell Gene Jimmie, 51, of Nenana, went to be with the Lord on Nov. 20, 2016, surrounded by family and friends.
Rondell was born July 9, 1965, in Los Angeles to Loujean and Lindred Jimmie, and grew up in the village of Minto. He graduated from Mt. Edgecumbe High School in 1983 and attended college at the University of Alaska Fairbanks and Sheldon Jackson College in Sitka.
Rondell had an infectious smile and laugh that one could never forget. He had a deep love for his family, especially for his grandchildren, nieces and nephews. He was a gentle soul, a man who was truly kind and generous to all who crossed his path. He was giving, helpful, encouraging, teaching and always teasing his aunties and cousins. Rondell was an outstanding athlete, avid hunter, fisherman, trapper, woodworker and keeper of his Native culture. He had a passion for subsistence fishing rights and was an advocate for his people.
He will be greatly missed by the Yukon and Tanana River fishing communities. Rondell served on the TCC Fish Advisory Board, Watershed Association Committee, and the board of directors of the Yukon River Drainage Fisheries Association, in which he represented the people of his fishing district. He actively supported, participated in and led projects that promoted fishing, his culture, and sharing knowledge with youth and others. Some of these projects included community fish camps, language-based fish camps, the Yukon Salmon comprehensive plan revision, the Value of Salmon project, YRDFA in-season teleconferences and preseason planning meetings.
Rondell's deep concern for people, his gentle spirit, cultural knowledge and positive attitude will be missed greatly by all those that knew and loved him.
Rondell was preceded in death by his mother, Loujean Jimmie; his father, Lindred "Lefty" Jimmie; sister Marla Jimmie, maternal grandparents Charlie Titus Sr. and Annie Titus; paternal grandparents Peter and Ena Jimmie; adoptive mother Hanna Titus Carter; uncles Jimmy and Tiny Titus; and aunts Sherry, Lily, Rose, Tellie, Jennifer Titus and Jeanene Alexander.
Rondell is survived by his children, Alisha, Marlin (Jamie), Darla, Lindell, Wesley (Megan), Mickey, Chase and Leonard; partner Robin Campbell and her children, Shawna, Malia, Orion, Keri Rose, Lila, Marcus Jr. and William; sisters Lyndra Jimmie and Tanna Lee Carter (Chad); aunts and uncles, Vernell Titus (Virgil), Ronald "Rabbie" Jimmie, Charlie Titus Jr. (Ruth), Andrew Jimmie (Barbara), Violet Mayo (Kenny), Effie Moe and Florine Alexander; and special cousins DeAnn Titus, Christopher Nollner and Douglas Jimmie. Rondell had numerous cousins and friends all across the state.
There will be a service at 11am Friday, Nov. 25, at St. Matthews Episcopal Church in Fairbanks, and funeral service and burial at 11am Saturday, Nov. 26, in Minto. There will be a traditional potlatch both Friday and Saturday evenings in Minto. Published in Daily News-Miner on Nov. 26, 2016.
