He was born on January 26, 1960. Mr. Heinzelman was a resident of Eustis, Florida. James was born in Quantico, Virginia.
James was a man who found happiness in the simple, steady moments of life. He looked forward to Sundays spent watching NASCAR, Wednesday nights playing poker with his friends, and cheering passionately for his Ohio State Buckeyes; especially during championship games. These traditions brought him comfort, laughter, and a deep sense of belonging.
Independent by nature, James proudly ran his own business, valuing hard work, self-reliance, and the freedom to do things his way. Above all else, his greatest pride was his family.
He is survived by his loving and devoted Wife Frankie Heinzelman; beloved Daughter, his one and only child, Jimmi-Lin Heinzelman; his Parents, James P. Heinzelman Sr. and Lucille C. Heinzelman; his Sister, Lori Weaver; his Grandchildren, Andrew, Ansley, Alyssa, Autumn-Lin, C.J., and Jaelyn, who brought endless joy to his life; his Son-in-law, Rob Rencoukos.
A Celebration of Life will be held at his home residence on January 3, 2026, where family and friends are invited to gather, share stories, and honor James in the place he felt most at peace.
James will be remembered for his loyalty, his steady presence, his love of routine, and the quiet ways he showed love to those closest to him. His memory will live on in the moments, laughter, and traditions he leaves behind.
The family extends their deepest gratitude to everyone who has offered love, prayers, and comfort. James was deeply cherished, and his presence will be missed beyond words, but his love will remain with us always.
