James Venrick Obituary

James (Jim) Richard Venrick Jr., 58, of Loveland, Colorado, peacefully passed away on Monday April 14th after a tremendous and courageous battle with cancer. Jim was surrounded by his loved ones. Jim married the love of his life Carol in 1992 and began a beautiful life together raising a family and a farm in the foothills of Loveland. After years of working in the heating and air conditioning industry, he decided to open up his own HVAC Company, Buckhorn Heating and Air. One of Jim's favorite things to do was to go camping with his wife and kids and spend time 4-wheeling, riding Harley Davidson motorcycles and telling hilarious stories over a camp fire. He was an avid collector of antique and military motorcycles, cars, and just about anything that he found intriguing. His laughter and jokes will always be remembered and treasured. His sense of humor was contagious; he could make any person laugh and smile. He was truly generous, compassionate and cared about the well-being of others. Jim is survived by his wife Carol; daughter Corissa; son Colton; step-son Dan; mother Dorothy Venrick; sister Neotha Mommer; brother Terry Venrick and many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and cousins. He was preceded in death by his father James Richard Venrick Sr. and his brother Danny Venrick. Jim's laughter and free spirit will live on in our hearts and minds forever. A Memorial Service will be held at Resthaven Memory Gardens on Friday, April 18th at 11:00 a.m. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to McKee Medical Center Foundation, 1805 E. 18th St. Loveland CO 80538 With The Memo: Bridge Fund in care of James R. Venrick Jr.

Carol and family, so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. We just recently were informed that he had passed in April. We surely would have been at his services if we had known. Jerry and Jim were great friends at one time and we both are truly saddened by his passing. Jerry has great memories of the time he and Jim were at Loveland Discount in the Tire Shop. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this most sad time. Jerry and Sherrie Johnson.

I have know Jim some forty some years. His obituary describes him so well, as a man with positive energy and constant smiles and joy. As an example of the kind of man he was, I would like to share a Christmas story with you. The heat went out in or house, leaving me fresh from surgery and two young children and a house to protect from freezing. We called him up that afternoon, and he left his family to come and solve the problem. God bless you, Jimmy. We will miss you. Diane Walker

We loved seeing Jim here at the Anticoag Clinic! Him and his wife were always a lot of fun to talk to. Jim always had a good story to tell! He was so upbeat and had such a great attitude, up until the very last time that he came in to see us. He will be missed by all of us girls here! Rest in peace, Jim.
