James M. “Jim” Schlosser
Date: 11/17/2014

James �Jim� M. Schlosser passed away peacefully at home on November 17, 2014. Jim was born in Akron, Ohio on March 7, 1945 to George and Ora (Jensen) Schlosser. When Jim was five years old, his family moved to Ogden, Utah. A few years later his parents divorced and he moved with his mother to St. John (Rush Valley), Utah, where he continued to make his home. He married Renee Powell in 1966 and they had a daughter, Kimberly, together. They later divorced. In 1972, Jim married Terry Hicks and together they had two children; Jolene and Jason. Jim was an avid outdoorsman with an unyielding sense of adventure. He enjoyed countless hunting trips with any combination of his family, life-long friends or any new acquaintances he made along the way. Jim�s pride and joy were his grandchildren, who he loved and cherished above all things. There was always fun and adventure to be had with grandpa, whether it was doing chores on the farm, visiting grandpa�s favorite stores, or embarking on early-morning trips for donuts and hot chocolate. He was a hobbyist who loved finding new and interesting activities to fill his time; beekeeping being the most recent. Other hobbies he enjoyed were managing his small farm, fur trapping, 3-D archery, ammunition reloading, wood working, and repairing old chainsaws he found on eBay. Jim had a love for the Old West and was our very own Western cowboy hero. He had a love for history and shared that passion with his family, turning a simple road trip into an adventure into the past. His loving and adventurous spirit will be missed by all those who knew him. He retired from Tooele Army Depot, South Area in 1996. He also served in the Utah National Guard for nine years and was honorably discharged. Jim is survived by his wife, Terry Schlosser; children: Kimberly Wallace, Jolene (Jeff) Jolley, Jason (Renissa) Schlosser; grandchildren: Whitnie, McKenzie, McKay, Connor, Dylan, Paden, Dalton and Mariah; sisters: Patty Liu, Judy Wright, Catherine Reams, and Norma Christensen; brothers: Mike Schlosser, Phillip Caldwell, Grant Caldwell, Lowell Caldwell, and Dennis Caldwell. He is preceded in death by his parents, George Schlosser and Ora Caldwell; his step- parents, Ila Schlosser and G. LaVerne �Bud� Caldwell, and his two sisters, Meg Love and Jan Wagstaff. Jim will be honored at a Celebration of Life on Nov. 29, 2014 from noon to 2 p.m. at the Miller Motorsports Park Clubhouse in Legends Hall, 2901 N. Sheep Lane, Tooele, UT. Obit James M. Schlosser 2Mr. Chuck Sailing will preside. Family and friends are welcome and encouraged to bring their favorite photos, stories and memories of Jim to share during the celebration.
