James Chiodo Obituary
1956 - 2017
James Allen Chiodo (Jim/Jimi), 60, of Kenosha, Wis., joined his Lord in Heaven on the morning of Feb. 20, 2017. Jim was born in Hollywood, Calif., on Aug. 12, 1956, to Kenneth Chiodo and Kathleen Chiodo (Wood). After his father finished serving in the Marine Corps, his family moved back to Kenosha, Wis., where he grew up, made life-long friends and started his family.
Jim eventually moved to Reno, Nev., where he loved life on the Ponderosa for 30 years. He was a successful roofing contractor, working in the hot desert sun for months at a time without ever seeing a cloud to shade him. Jim was adventurous. He loved to play golf, shoot pool, ride and build motorcycles and enjoyed SCUBA diving. He even obtained his pilot's license. He was an artist who was skilled at airbrushing and pinstriping. In 2015, Jim moved back to Wisconsin to share life with his family.
Jim is survived by his fiancé, Stephanie Kendall; his two children, Christine Chiodo, Julie (JJ) Wergin, as well as five grandchildren, Ryan, Vinny, Jayce, James, and Jackson. He is also survived by his sister, Lori Underwood; brother, Trace Chiodo, and sister Jodi Didenko. Jim was a loving father, fiancé, and friend to many. He will be deeply missed.
Funeral services will be held at Journey Church, 10700 75th St, Kenosha, WI on Saturday, Feb. 25, 2017, at 10 a.m. with Pastor Levi Ketelsen officiating.
