James “Jimmy” Langenstein, 67, passed away surrounded by the love of his family and friends.
Born March 26, 1959, Jimmy was a beloved husband, family man and friend. He married his loving wife, Shannon, on June 5, 1993, and together they shared more than 33 years of marriage filled with love, laughter, family, and countless memories.
Jimmy spent his career in the car business with Dave Sinclair, where he became known not only for his work, but for the relationships he built along the way. He had a gift for making people feel comfortable and welcome, and he was loved by all who knew him.
There was never just one Jimmy story. Everyone who knew Jimmy seemed to have one—and most likely, a good one. He had a personality and a way of bringing people together that made him unforgettable. His family and friends will forever remember his stories, his laughter, his generosity, and the many ways he made life more enjoyable for those around him.
Jimmy was preceded in death by his parents, Jan and Muriel (Birkner) Langenstein, and his brother, Jon Langenstein.
He leaves behind his wife, Shannon, along with family and many lifelong friends who will miss him deeply and carry his memory with them.
