James Stephen Ivenz, born on January 4th, 1947, in the picturesque town of Bordentown, New Jersey, departed this world at his home in Feasterville, Pennsylvania, on May 18th, 2025. He was a stalwart figure, known for his unwavering dedication and deep-rooted love for his family, his career, and the spirited teams of Philadelphia.
In his professional life, James was a consummate printing press technician with A.B. Dick, serving the Philadelphia area with a remarkable commitment that spanned four decades. His expertise and work ethic earned him respect among his peers and a lasting legacy in the printing community. An alumnus of Bordentown High School, class of 1965, he embodied a lifelong pursuit of knowledge that extended beyond the classroom walls.
James was also honored to serve as a veteran in the United States Navy, a chapter of his life that instilled in him a sense of duty and discipline that would resonate throughout his personal and professional endeavors.
An ardent supporter of Philadelphia sports, James could often be found cheering passionately for the Phillies, Eagles, Sixers, and Flyers, embodying the spirit of camaraderie that comes with being a true fan. Beyond the excitement of sports, he found joy in the complexities of stock trading and cherished the moments spent with his beloved grandsons, James and William Ivenz. These deeply valued connections underscored his identity as a devoted family man who cherished each milestone shared with his children and grandchildren.
He is survived by his son, Jason S. Ivenz, and his daughter-in-law, Kimberly Ivenz, both of Bristol, Pennsylvania. Together, they carry forward the legacy of love and passion that James instilled in them.
James was preceded in death by his loving parents, Steven and Margaret Ivenz, as well as his brother, Steven Ivenz, whose memories will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew him.
