In Loving Memory of Jim: Support for His Partner, Jeneane

Donation protected
It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of James Ray Wicks, Jim (aka Wicks, Jimmy, or Jimothy), who left us suddenly on December 12, 2024, at the age of 71 (although his doctors claimed he seemed more like a robust 55, the silver fox that he was). Jim was a fiercely supportive partner, a loving father, a playful grandfather, and a generous and loyal friend. Jim's partner, Jeneane, his children, lifelong friends, and all who knew him are heartbroken by his loss.

Sudden death leaves a trail of unexpected expenses. Jim’s passing has left Jeneane not only grieving but also facing the financial burden of covering funeral and memorial costs, living expenses, and the financial responsibility of their beautiful shared home in Whitefish, Montana.
Jim loved the dream life he and Jeneane created in Montana - his wish was for Jeneane to be able to stay in their home, a place filled with memories, but the financial responsibility now falls solely on her shoulders.

In place of flowers, food deliveries, or other material gestures, we are asking for your support in helping cover immediate expenses and alleviating some of the financial strain Jeneane is facing during this incredibly challenging time.

Any donation, no matter the size, will be greatly appreciated. We know that the love and support from Jim's friends, family, and the community will help Jeneane carry on in his memory.

Please keep Jeneane, Jim’s kids and grandkids, and all of their loved ones in your thoughts as they navigate the days ahead. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness and generosity.
