Jim met Laurie in 1993 and the two would spend the rest of his life together. They were married at the Jefferson County Courthouse in Golden, Colorado. Jim, Laurie, and daughter, Nicole made their home in Arvada where he worked hard to support his family. Jim’s father taught him to camp, hunt, and fish which Jim was passing on to Nicole and grandson Jaxon. Teaching Jaxon became his greatest pleasure. Jim looked forward to the yearly hunting trip to share the fellowship of his friends and enjoy the outdoors. He also took a lot of pleasure in being an Arvada Reservoir ranger like his father was. He was always quick to volunteer his help for his game warden friend, Mike. On one occasion they saved an eagle that was hit by a car.
Jim’s father also passed on his love of baseball. Jim loved to watch, play, and for a couple of years Jim coached a softball team. Jim was proud of that team and referred to them as "his girls".
Jim enjoyed motorcycles, riding with the annual MDA Run to Sturgis for five years. He and Laurie retired to Lebanon in 2016 where they started restoring a house built around 1880. Jim was a strong man of few words and deep feelings. He liked people, loved his family deeply, and respected the people he called friends. His strong feelings of love extended to animals.
He was preceded in death by his parents.
Survivors include his wife, Laurie of Lebanon; daughter, Nicole Fox and grandson, Jaxon Fox of North Glenn, Colorado; sister, Kathy Berkowitz of Denver, Colorado; sister, Alice (Roger) Cain of Loveland, Colorado; brother-in-law, Mike Murray of Lebanon; and sisters-in-law, Jill (Kip) Funk of Arvada, Colorado and Jana Kelly of Federal Heights, Colorado
Cremation was chosen and a celebration of Jim's life will be held at a later date. Jim's ashes are to be spread on the mountain where his parent’s ashes were spread, on the land of his hunting area by friend, Denny, and at Trappers Lake by friend, Mike. Herrmann-Jones Funeral Chapel is entrusted with arrangements.
