James Stanton-Giesing Obituary

James Lee Stanton-Giesing, age 50, born September 3, 1958 in Colorado Springs, Colorado passed away at Penrose Hospital on April 17, 2009 after a brief illness. On his journey through life, he was fortunate to meet and marry his beloved wife of 24 years and best friend Sue. Jim is survived by 3 sisters, Paulette Olson, Glendale, Arizona, Kimberly (Paul) Thornton, Hanford, California, and Michelle (Steven) Hall, Parker, Colorado; 3 brothers, Michael Stanton, Manitou Springs, Steven (Lisa) Stanton, Divide and Mark Stanton, Lakewood. He is also survived by 7 nieces, 3 nephews, 6 great nieces and 2 great nephews. Their niece, Danielle Chipman, has been her aunt Sue’s rock. Jim was preceded in death by his parents Joan Stanton and Jack Giesing. He never met a cat he didn’t like, a stranger who couldn’t be a friend or a lottery ticket that wasn’t a winner. The family extends their thanks to all of Jim and Sue’s co-workers and friends through this difficult time. Memorial Services will be held at a later date.

I literally grew up next door to Jim. How I wish I had looked him up to see what he "grew up to be". We had so many great times at the Penny Arcade. Jim was one of the funniest people I have ever had the great priveledge to have known.
My condolences and prayers.
