James Withington

James Paul Withington, 40, of Cable, passed away at Marshfield Medical Center on Sunday, February 12, 2023, with many of his loving family members at his side.

James was born on January 24, 1983, in Bay City, Texas the son of James Patrick and Loretta (Griffin) Withington. James spent most of his early years living in Red Wing, MN and attended Red Wing High school where he made many life-long friends.

James leaves to celebrate his memory: his wife, Cricket (Elizabeth) Withington, his children and step children JT Lampson, Aiden Withington, Kallie Hedman, Camryn Withington, McKenna Hedman and Mason Withington. His parents James Patrick and Loretta Withington, sisters Rebekah (Andy Anderson) Withington and Elizabeth (Tim) Fedje and nieces, Hailey Anderson, Alexis Fedje, and Briella Fedje and many extended family and loving friends.

James loved spending time with his children and his family. Snowmobiling, riding Harleys with his wife, and driving truck were just a few of his passions. During his 16 plus year career driving truck over the road he was able to see all lower 48 states with as many chicken lights as he could get on one truck. Even though he stepped away from long hauling, he drove trucks locally around the area including Hiatt Trucking, Todd's Redi Mix and Como. Although James's immediate family never owned a farm he developed a lifelong love of farming from an early age and loved John Deere tractors. James was passionate about being a volunteer firefighter and enjoyed serving his community. Everything James did was centered in his love to take care of his family and make everyone he loved happy and he will be missed deeply by all who knew and loved him.

He was preceded in death by paternal grandfather, James L Withington, and maternal grandparents William and Margaret (Spink) Griffin.

A Celebration of Life for James will be held on February 19th at 3:00pm at the American Legion Post 487 in Cable, Wisconsin as well as a Celebration of Life at The Eagles Club 2588 Hallie Rd, Chippewa Falls, WI 54729 right next to Chippewa Harley Davidson, on February 25th, 2023 from 10am-3pm.
