James L. Colgrove

In Loving Memory of James Colgrove May 29, 1951 – July 31, 2025 Jim Colgrove, a husband, father, grandfather, passed away at the age of 74. Jim is survived by his wife Linette, along with their two children, Ryan and Amber, and grandchildren, Colette and Clark, who were the light of his later years. Born in Vancouver, WA, Jim grew up with a love for family. Though he lived to see Vancouver grow into a bustling city, Jim always remembered it as the country town of his youth. Jim had a prolific career in heavy construction and traveled around the country, contributing to several large infrastructure projects, including the parallel crossing of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. Jim lived a life full of adventure. He enjoyed skiing and sailing, and he spent time deep-sea fishing and logging - never one to shy away from tough work or wild places. In retirement, he found joy in quieter moments: jigsaw puzzles, barbecues, macramé, and time spent with his children and grandchildren, who always knew him as the fun loving center of the family. He leaves behind a legacy of resilience, humor, and hard-earned wisdom. Jim will be remembered for his sharp wit, work ethic, and the love he poured into his family. He will always be in our hearts. A private celebration of life will be held with close friends and family.
