James Edward Menner died peacefully on Wednesday, June 21, 2023 with his family by his side and under the compassionate care of the medical staff at Evelyn's House. Jim was the son of the late William Ambrose Menner and Jane Catherine Parrick. He is survived by his wife, Janey Haynes Menner, daughters Katherine (Ryan) McHugh and Teresa Menner, grandchildren Madeline and James and siblings Mike, Susie, Chris and Bill. Jim has gifted his body to the School of Medicine at St. Louis University.
Jim was the heart and light of his family, precious husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend. His ever-present smile, ready laugh, and generous spirit were his trademarks. Affectionately known as Jimbo, this good and simple man loved to fish, repair, build, help neighbors, spend time with friends and family and enjoy every moment he could outdoors. This world, and those who knew and loved him, are better because of him.
Visitation for Jim will take place at 9:30 a.m. on Friday, June 23, at Holy Redeemer Catholic Church, 17 Joy Ave., Webster Groves, MO 63119, followed by a Memorial Mass at 10:30 a.m. In lieu of flowers, please consider donations to NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) St. Louis or to St. John Vianney High School.
