James "Jim" Rochon

James “Jim” A. Rochon, 48, of Kewaskum, found peace Tuesday, March 18, 2025.

Jim was born June 26, 1976 to William and Mary (nee Pesczek) Rochon. He was raised with his siblings on a hobby farm in Farmington, WI and graduated from Kewaskum High School in 1995. He earned his journeyman’s card with Steamfitters Local 601 while working for his parent’s company, Commercial Industrial Services.

In 2000, Jim joined JF Ahern Company. With his technical expertise, he rose to Field Service Superintendent, and recently transitioned to Service Sales Manager of the Milwaukee region.

In December of 1999, he married his high school sweetheart, Michelle. They built a house outside of Kewaskum and started their family in 2004 with the birth of their daughter, Grace. In 2005, they welcomed their son, Cole.

Jim’s children were a shining light in his life. He loved spending time with them camping, watching countless volleyball matches, and building cool stuff in the shop. Jim passed his appreciation for music down to his children and loved listening to Grace drum and Cole on bass and guitar, or all playing Rock Band together.

He had a brilliant mind that he used to teach, debate, and solve issues. He valued his core friendships with a lucky few that he would battle to the ends of the earth with. What he will most be missed for is the intensity of his love for his family.

He will live on through memories by his wife and forever love, Michelle; daughter, Grace; and son, Cole; his father-in-law, Greg (Diane) Rodd; mother-in-law, Rashelle (Scott) Wiedmeyer; two sisters, Barb (Randy) Smith and Jean (Brad) Thiel; his brother, Bill (Pamela) Rochon; sisters-in-law, Rhiannon (Mike) Klotz, Miranda Zarling, and Jamie (Jay) Lopez; and brother-in-law, Jeremy (Theresa) Dornacker; and nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends.

He is preceded in death by his parents, William and Mary Rochon; and his sister, Kathleen Rochon.
