Nemitz, James “Jim” R. (6 July 1956 – 30 March 2018)

James “Jim” R. Nemitz was born July 6, 1956 to Louie and Helen (Hagedorn) Nemitz. He lived what he often referred to as a “wonderful life.” He enjoyed football, especially the Green Bay Packers and music. He enjoyed his career with Christensen Drywall, and he particularly cherishes his crews; holding many of them as close personal friends. Jim (also known as Big Vern) was a strong and passionate man, fighting and overcoming open heart surgery and cancer. He met his maker while doing what he loved, watching the water and listening to music March 30, 2018, in Sebastian, FL.

He blesses the world with over 40 years of marriage to his best friend, Sandi (Christensen) Nemitz; his three children: Lorna (Glenn) Hall, James E. Nemitz and Nycki Nemitz; and four grandchildren: Lilly and Louie Nemitz and Dezariah and Coletin Wallsch. He loved and was proud of all his family and was proud of his family members, and especially his brothers, Paul (Cathy) Nemitz and Bill (Dianne) Nemitz.

He was preceded in death by his beloved parents, Louie and Helen Nemitz; brother Bob (Judy) Nemitz and nephews Terry, Tim and Keith Nemitz.

He was loved by anyone who knew him, and those that did will understand that there will be no typical ceremonies. Instead, per his request, we are having Big Jim’s party Saturday, June 23, 2018, following a brief prayer ceremony at Salisbury Resort starting at 1 p.m. He requested everyone come and have a good time, enjoy themselves and no tears.
