James "Jim" Rozar II

James “Jim” Martin Rozar II, 59, of Cheyenne, Wyoming now rests peacefully in the arms of the Lord. He was born on January 23, 1965, to James and Sharon (Caylor) Rozar in Wichita, Kansas. Jim grew up in Colorado Springs and Woodland Park, Colorado where he spent time hiking, fishing, and camping with his family and friends. Jim developed his love for football at a young age, often playing quarterback in the street games in the neighborhood. Jim loved his Broncos and was always fun to watch a game with.

Jim grew up in a diverse and dynamic family that shared their lives and their home with foster children of Colorado. Jim was a loyal, protective, kind, generous, and forgiving man. His upbringing brought him humility and a desire to provide for those he cared most for.

Jim was a hard worker, starting at the age of 14, where he was a cook at his mother’s restaurant, Divide Inn. In 1984, Jim went on to become an esteemed cook at Shari’s Restaurant in Colorado Springs. Jim went to support the Shari’s of Cheyenne during Frontier Days of 1988, and decided to stay. During that fateful week, Jim met the love of his life, Lisa.

Jim and Lisa entered an epic love journey that would stand the test of time. Jim and Lisa married in 1997 and created a wonderful, blended family of two sons and two daughters. Their bond was a true testament to the power of love, loyalty, and the joy of shared dreams. Jim was a man of principle, whose firm beliefs and unwavering sense of responsibility were the foundation of his family. He set high standards for himself and his loved ones, teaching by example the importance of hard work, integrity, and respect.

After a successful career at Shari’s, an exciting opportunity for a change in career happened. In 2000, Jim and his brother, Matt, partnered to establish Elite Telecommunications, Inc. Jim had exceptional leadership skills and served not only as a role model and mentor, but as a friend to many who went to work for the company. Together, Matt and Jim built something meaningful that not only provided for their families, but also contributed to the growth and success of many others in the telecommunications industry.

In 2012, Jim left the telecommunications industry and worked for a short time as a personal care assistant for disabled adults and as a taxi driver.

Jim is survived by his loving wife Lisa; his children James, Justice, Sarah (Jack) Vore, Rachel (Daniel) Warren; granddaughter Savanna (Roberts); great-granddaughters Viktorya and Daisy (Kitley); sisters Lisa Ridgely, Connie Rozar, and Corey Irene Bergman; brother Matt (Shannon) Rozar. Jim was preceded in death by his father, James Rozar and his mother, Sharon Caylor.

A Memorial Service will be held Monday, November 18th, 2024 at 1 PM with a reception to follow immediately after.
