Born on April 12th, 1955 in St. Cloud, MN, Jim spent his early years on their family farm there. He was a man of many talents and owned numerous businesses in his life.

In his free time, Jim could always be found outdoors and rarely ever sitting down. He was an avid hunter, fisherman, and outdoor enthusiast. His recent passion was wintering with his wife at their home in the Arizona desert and riding his Polaris RZR with his buddies any chance he could get. He was an active member of his communities in both Minnesota and Arizona, always giving back to ensure that it was a left a better place for future generations to come.

Jim is survived by his loving wife, Veronica Feneis, his children, Taylor Cook (Gerrit Cook) and Michael Feneis, his step-daughter Annamarie Szczeck and his step-grandchildren, Angelique Lee, Landon Szczeck and Eli Sczceck. Jim is also survived by his five siblings, many cousins and friends. His memory will be honored and cherished by all who knew him.
