In Loving Memory

In Loving Memory of James Ritenour

At age 17 James acquired a traumatic brain injury to his frontal lobe as a passenger in a car crash. His entire life

changed that night as he suffered with this injury physically, mentally and spiritually until his death at 35 years old.
James had some good years as he came to know Christ and began to witness to others of him. He served with his gift of music and his love of Christ at our church and other churches in the area. He also began to understand his suffering before his death. He died peacefully in his sleep at home with us.

Remembered by Dennis and Gloria Ritenour
