James M. Bartmess, age 74, passed away on February 2, 2025, at Mercy Hospital. He was born on April 15, 1951, in Cincinnati, Ohio to the late John Edward Bartmess, Sr. and Harriet Smith. Jim attended Marshall University in West Virginia. He worked at two local document reproduction firms, but most loved the time he spent working for Frisch’s Restaurants as a waiter and later cook, retiring in 2016. In his spare time, he enjoyed working with computers, and cataloging his massive videotape/DVD collection.
He is survived by two brothers, John Ed Bartmess, Jr. (spouse Carol) and Andrew Bartmess (spouse Karen), and nieces Julie Hedge (spouse Rudi), Elizabeth Bartmess (spouse Michael Cohn), Bethany Schultz (spouse Bradley), and Katherine Bartmess. A remembrance gathering will be held in the near future, date to be determined. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that donations be made to any local pet adoption agency.
