Jim Mihelich Obituary

Mr. Jim "Jimmy" Mihelich, 63, of Farmington, passed away surrounded by his family at his home on Thursday, July 3, 2014, after a short battle with MDS.
He was born on March 9, 1951, in Pueblo, Colo., to the late William and Amelia Mihelich. Jimmy graduated from Pueblo County High School and married his high school sweetheart, Gloria Martin (Noodle Pie).
Jimmy was a devout Christian who excelled in every endeavor of his short life. He was a prominent member of the community and for years gave selflessly to the church. As a successful businessman and owner of High Country Mobile Homes, he was never tired of helping the less fortunate.
Jimmy is survived by his wife, Gloria; children, Jimmy and (Stephanie) Mihelich, Kristi and (Derrick) Wicken, Becky and (Keith) King, Josh and (Courtney) Mihelich and Jacob Mihelich; and nine grandchildren, Jeffrey Mihelich, Jimmy Mihelich III, Joseph Mihelich, Dylan Wicken, Alyssa Mihelich, Jeremiah Mihelich, David Wicken, Keith (Bean) King and Taylor Mihelich. He is also survived by siblings, Chae Guttas, Suzan Mihelch, Patsy Rassmussen, Midge Valdez, Billy Mihelich, Danny Mihelich and Ramona Wartsbaugh, along with numerous nieces and nephews.
With his devoted love and leadership he will be greatly missed by his family and friends.
A memorial service will be at 1 p.m. on Friday, July 11, at Cross Roads Community Church, 2400 N. Butler Ave. in Farmington.
