James Neumeier Obituary

LIMA -- James (Red Jimmy Jams) L. Neumeier. Sang "Momma I'm Coming Home" his last time on 12-23-24. At home with his loved ones by his side. Born to Be wild June 27, 1962, in Bluffton, OH, he was the son of the late Robert "Bob" and Maxine Jeanette (Long) Neumeier. But it was time for him to Fly at the age of only 62

There's "No More Tears", through all the happiness and sorrow he'd do it all again. Live life for today and not tomorrow. Teaching us to live everyday like you're on vacation, he worked hard and played ever Harder! Now he is on his "Stairway To Heaven".

He loved all his family most of all. Hunting, camping, concerts with us and had a ball. Lottery, demolition derbies, four wheeling, mudding and more. There wasn't a dull moment with him or a pedal he wouldn't hold to the floor!

Graduated in 1980 from Allen East and Apollo, specializing in Construction and Electricity. He built some beautiful homes throughout his years. Working with Wagner & Son, Neuko, TriAction Construction and Alexander homes.

He is survived by his Only "Sweet Child of Mine" as he'd say, Monica (Rick), and Granddaughter Ma'Kylee Lott. Loved till the end was his (Baby Momma) as he called her Rhonda (Neumeier) Jarman. Brothers John (Vicki), Dennis, and Mike Neumeier. Nieces and Nephews Tammy, Mark, Shawn, Rachel, Bert and Nathan Neumeier. Along with several others, cousins and kin.

Proceeded in death by his parents Robert and Jeanette Neumeier, Sister Shari (Neumeier) Hicks. And 3 Beautiful Nieces Sarah, Dorette and Jessica Neumeier. All gone but forever in our Hearts.

He will be cremated per his wishes and laid to rest at Fisher Cemetery by the rest of our loved ones, He wanted a Celebration of Life to take place at 8030 Bechtold Rd Lima, OH 45801.

We will be celebrating him there on January 11, 2025 from 2pm to 6pm.

Jim was a good friend, and then was introduced to my sister, fell in love, and then became my brother-in-law, then the father of my beautiful niece Monica, and the grandfather of my sunshine, great-niece Makylee, and father-in-law to my nephew Rick. Which made him even more of a family man. Give us always a great family man. It is a great friend and even a better brother-in-law that was always there for me when I needed him and that sometimes the only one that was there for me. We shared a lot of great times together and he will greatly be missed not only by me but all that new and loves him. Rest in paradise Jim until we meet again, fly high my friend.
