Since 1994, he was employed at Varco Pruden Buildings in Evansville, WI. He married Michelle Rene’ Martindale in 2006.

Jamie was a man of numerous talents. Even at a young age, he had a gift of taking anything apart and putting it back together. He was an amazing carpenter, from the beds he made for his kids to their backyard play fortress.  He could fix any piece of equipment on his parents’ dairy farm, a skill he inherited from his Grandpa ‘Bud.’ His passion and love for the dairy farm never left him.  He brought his children to the farm as often as possible. He especially loved attending the many dairy cattle shows his family participated in. He was a natural at showing cattle while growing up and still talked about his love for his All-American Guernsey calf, “Bam Bam.”

He adored his children; family was very important to him. He took great pleasure in taking his children to Disney World and the Wisconsin Dells.  Jamie attended New Life Assembly of God Church in Janesville.
