Jim Shumway Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
James "Jim" William Shumway, 57, of Parker, Colorado, entered into heaven on August 9th, 2022 as a result of a single engine plane crash at Centennial Airport, Douglas County.
Jim was born in Salt Lake City, UT on March 10th, 1965 to Ronald F. Shumway and Rosa L. Basham Shumway. He was the 2nd of 3 children.
Jim was raised in Hinkley, Millard County, UT. He graduated from Hinkley Elementary and Delta High School.
Jim learned how to work hard from a very young age. He raised animals and grew giant gardens on the family farm. But he learned how to truly labor work alongside his dad in his construction business.
Jim was called to serve a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints to the Alberta, Calgary MISSION, 1984-1986.
Jim finished his degree at Southern Utah University in Cedar City where he made lifelong friends. Jim's quiet and unassuming nature and fun sense of humor drew people to him.
Jim met Rebecca while working in Sedona in 1991. They were married in the St. George Temple on May 22, 1993.
While living in Las Vegas from 1993-2002, the Shumway family grew to include 4 children: Brittany, Alex, Ashley and Lilly. He received his MBA at UNLV.
In 2002 they moved to Parker, Colorado where they currently love living and had their fifth child, Maxwell.
Since 2005 Jim has loved working at ET investments, LLC with so many wonderful people.
Jim started flying in 2017 and got his pilots license in 2018 which quickly became a passion.
When he wasn't working or flying, he enjoyed fishing, hunting, building and grilling and of course, his family.
The world is a darker, less colorful place without Jim. He was a true gentleman. His kindness, compassion and generosity has touched more lives than he ever realized. His warm smile will continue in our hearts and memories but his presence leaves a gaping hole in our lives.
He is survived by his Wife of 29 years, Rebecca Shumway; Children: Brittany Belle, Alexander James, Ashley Rose, Lilly Elizabeth, and Maxwell William; Siblings: Sister: Georgia Shumway Crouch and spouse, Rob and children, Kevin, Dani, Bryan and Camille, Brother: Mark Shumway and spouse Nana and their children Eric, Ethan and Avery.

My dear Rebecca, there aren´t words to express my love for you and your husband. I think fondly of the time we spent together daily raising our babies. Jim was a constant and kind man that you have loved dearly. I can only imagine the sorrow you are feeling and wish I could make it not be true! You are loved. May you find the strength to get up every day, wipe away the tears, and put one foot in front of the other! After everything is over, I´ll be here to talk to, cry with, and to help you through it. I´m so sorry!!

To the man who came into my little families life as a young missionary in Calgary in 1986 and changed my life and ultimately the lives of my family and my Father´s family forever. I can not express how much your coming to this world to share your kind smile, your child like humility, your faith and your relationship to Christ has changed eternity for so many of us in a beautiful way. God bless you, my dear friend. May he guide, protect and bring peace to Rebecca, Brittany, Alex, Ashley, Lilly and Max. They should all be righteously proud of the great positive impact that your life has had on this world!! I will miss knowing that you are here in this world with us. Until we meet again my friend....until we meet again!!
