James Mousel Obituary
Memorial services will be held at a later date.
Nebraska Cremation Society in Wahoo is in charge of arrangements.
Born in Hastings in 1941, James was a son to Anthony and Mary Alice Mousel. He graduated from Juniata High School and attended college in Kearney.
He met and married his college sweetheart in 1961. He was the husband of Nikki Mousel. They shared 60 years of marriage together.
Active in college intramural sports, he had a passion and love for sports all through his life and was an avid Lopers fan.
His love and passion were ranching. In 1962, in the Sandhills of Nebraska, heaven on earth, he lived his dreams and raised his family. In the late 1980's, moving to Kearney, hauled cattle for Speedway, earning several safe driving awards for millions of miles, eventually leading him to teaching CDL classes at the University of Kearney.
James attended Cornerstone Berean Church and was active within men's bible groups.
He will be remembered for telling a good story, something funny, a timely joke. He had a great sense of humor. When dining out, he enjoyed buying refreshments for the people who serve our country.
Survivors include his wife Nikki; son, Jim; daughter, Madison; grandchildren, LT. Commander Todd (Brandy) Mousel, Stephanie (Caleb) Cepal, Kelly (Isaiah) Curtis; great-grandchildren, Chase and Christian Mousel, Halli and Archer Curtis; sisters-in-law, Judy Wiese, Susie (Richard) Mousel; sister, Judy (Larry) Hammer; along with numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.
Memorial donations in lieu of flowers may be made to the Kearney Area Animal Shelter or church of your choice.
