James Renfroe's Burial

On December 21st, 2023 James Renfroe was called home, leaving a big hole in our hearts. Jim was a phenomenal human: an inventor, chemical engineer, veteran, big brother, husband and father - all roles he took very seriously. His personality was very surprising to most of my friends growing up, everyone assumed I had a mute father but he was just incredibly shy - whenever it was just family he was one of the funniest people I knew. I used to wonder where I got my humor from and as I got older I realized that I was raised by a wannabe comedian! He kept joking all the way until the end. His silly dad jokes will be so dearly missed.

Over the last few years our family has had a lot of hardships - we lost our mother in 2021, Jim suffered from a left side stroke in 2022 and spent the last part of 2023 recovering from a broken hip as well as other bones - and now the unexpected loss of our dad has thrown another curveball our way. We have received a full quote from the funeral home where he is at that basic cremation and transportation to his plot, where his ashes will be laid to rest with his wife's, will be $2,875.00. Unfortunately this will be completely out of pocket for my family which is why I've set up this GoFundMe. I'll be keeping an eye on the funds and if the goal is met or exceeded all proceeds will go towards his surviving sons to keep up with whatever medical bills they receive from his recent hospital stay.

If you are considering donating I just want to say thank you so much. My family has had to lean on community a lot lately and I'm so grateful for the folks in our life that have helped. <3

If anyone is interested in visiting his plot once he's been placed feel free to message me (Kathryn) about the location. <3
