With heavy hearts, we bid farewell to Lt. Col. Jim "Nummy" Nemetz on June 23rd, 2023 at 71 years young.
Jim was born to Elaine and Albert Nemetz in Fort Worth, Texas but moved all over the US during his childhood as an Air Force brat. He graduated from the Air Force Academy and followed in his father's footsteps by pursuing a career with the U.S. Air Force. He took to the skies in F-4s and F16 fighter jets, serving his country for 22 years. After retiring from the Air Force, Jim flew for Southwest Airlines for an additional 22 years. During his accomplished career, he lived in four countries and countless states before ultimately settling in Phoenix, Arizona.
Nummy's greatest joys were his family and friends. He loved nothing more than retelling his jokes in exchange for laughs and groans. His sense of humor was truly unmatched, and he proudly referred to himself as "Your Fighter Pilot Hero and Fishing Idol".
He is survived by his wife, Ellen Nemetz, children Ali (Michael) Hoover, Britt (Diego) Ezrre, Jake Nemetz, his beloved dog Milo, grandchildren Austin and Madison Hoover, sister Judi Halasi, brother Joe (Karen) Nemetz and many in-laws and out-laws. He is preceded in death by his parents, Elaine and Albert Nemetz and his sister, Jane (John) Eanes.
