James Denetz, 83, passed away on June 23, 2020 at his home in McKinney, Tex., under hospice.

James was born July 9, 1936 in Irma, Wis., to August and Matilda Denetz. He graduated Tomahawk High School in 1954 and married Charlotte (Chuckie) Matthews on June 22, 1963. He was employed by the Tomahawk School District, and upon retirement, they moved to Texas. He loved his family and friends, enjoyed golf, fishing, hunting, being in the woods, and watching all Wisconsin sports teams, especially the Brewers and of course, the Packers!

James is survived by his loving wife, three sons Brad (Terri) in Argyle, Tex.; Mark (Becki) in McKinney, Tex.; and Scott in Las Vegas Nev.; and two grandsons, Dustin and Cole. A private family celebration will be held in Texas at a later date.
