James was born on March 20, 1964, in Stevens Point, to the
late Anthony and Theresa (Eron) Britz.
On April 1, 2000, James was united in marriage to Lynette
Linzmeier.
James graduated from Assumption High School 1982. He continued his education attending Lincoln
Electric Welding School in Ohio, and also received a degree from MSTC in Instrumentation
Technology in 1985. In December of that
year he started his apprenticeship as a steamfitter, continuing as a journeyman
from 1985 to 2004. James was the proud
owner of Central Machine & Welding.
He took great pride in both the quality of his work as well as taking
care of his customers.
Anyone who knew Jim would tell you he was a good man. He was
a man of great integrity and humility. He was always willing to spread his
wisdom and teach those who were willing to learn. Jim was good to everyone, and found the good
in everyone, loving and caring unconditionally.
Jim enjoyed getting away with his wife, spending time with his family, his
fur-boys Willie and Henry, but especially his grandchildren, Alexah and Carsen.
We will all miss him dearly.
James is survived by his wife, Lyn of 19 years; stepson, Kyle
(Kristin) Ule of Marshfield; grandchildren, Alexah and Carsen, brother, Peter
(Dilly) Britz, Rudolph; sisters, Rose Britz, Junction City, Mary (Mark)
Bushmaker, Rudolph, Sue Britz, Junction City; mother-in-law, Sandra Linzmeier,
Arpin; in-laws, Lenore (James) DeVore, Sedona, AZ, Lance (Amanda) Linzmeier,
Milladore; numerous nephews, nieces, great-nephews and great-nieces.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Anthony and Theresa
Britz; brother, Joseph Britz; and father-in-law, Kenneth Linzmeier.
The family would like to thank the Rudolph Fire Department
first responders and EMTs for their quick response and tireless efforts to help
Jim, and to all family and friends for their kind words and comforting prayers.
