JAMES HAMILTON RASNAKE, JR. died on Thursday February 9, 2012. He was born November 24, 1935, in Atlanta. Jim, affectionately known as "Snake", was a proud graduate of Grady High School and the University of Georgia. One of his main passions in life was Georgia Football and his times in Athens. Until 2011, Jim had not missed a home game in fifty years. He relished his college days at UGA, especially his time in the Chi Phi fraternity. Snake's fondest memories and most humorous anecdotes always revolved around his time on Lumpkin Street. Jim also dedicated himself to his career and competitive running. He spent forty two years as a stock broker at Merrill Lynch and valued all the great friendships he formed during his time there. After retirement, Jim had even more time to dedicate himself to running. He ran weekly into his early 70's, and always enjoyed time with his running club pals. Jim completed the Peachtree Road Race 25 times, in addition to hundreds of other races. Mr. Rasnake is survived by his daughters, Brooke Rasnake Lowry (Doug) of Charlotte, NC, and Robin Rasnake Thomas (Tim) of Dallas, TX and his granddaughter, Molly McKenzie Schnyder. Services will be held Monday, February 13, 2012, 10:30 am at St. Dunstan's Episcopal Church located at 4393 Garmon Road. Due to construction, services cannot be held at Jim's beloved Holy Innocents Episcopal Church. In lieu of flowers, Snake would appreciate your support of the Eta chapter of the Chi Phi Fraternity at the University of Georgia. Online condolences may be made at hmpattersonspringnghill.com.
