James Richard Rosenquist, 56, of Palmdale, Calif., went to be with his Savior on July 14, 2014. Jim graduated high school from Shickley in 1976. He attended Chadron State College and earned his music degree in 1980. Jim moved to Palmdale, Calif., in 1986 where he spent 28 years teaching elementary and middle school music.
Because of his musical talent and compassion for kids, Jim received many "Teacher of the Year" awards. As one student put it, "This past year has been a challenge to him personally. He has taught us more than how to hold a bow, or count a beat or read a music note. More importantly he has taught us...'when life hands you the wrong sheet music, you keep playing on.' " He will be remembered for his deep love for Christ and his love of music and travel.
Jim is survived by his wife, Kelly Kracht Rosenquist; son, Joel Johnson of Lincoln; parents, Richard and Marie Rosenquist of Geneva; brother, Russell and wife Janet of Omaha; and brother, Terry and wife Julie of Hastings.
His celebration of life will be at 3 p.m. Friday, July 18, at First Evangelical Free Church in Lincoln.
