James E. Gunderson
James E. Gunderson, a resident of Colville, Wash. passed away on Oct. 1, 2005
at the age of 67 following a rapid progression of Lou Gehrig's Disease (ALS).
He was born on Aug. 5, 1938 in Wales, N.D., the son of Hans and Beatrice Mary
(Lariviere) Gunderson.
James spent his early years in Hannah, N.D., where he began school. At the age
of 12, James moved with his family to Snoqualmie, Wash., where he finished his
education. James entered the work force as a young man to support the needs of
his family. He worked at the local gas station, Tanner Lumber Mill and
Weyerhauser. At the age of 18, James went to work with Boeing as Machinist in
the Airplane On the Ground (AOG) division. He repaired aircraft on location
throughout the world and retired from Boeing after 38 years. While working for
Boeing he resided primarily in Fall City, Wash.
Following his retirement, James resided in Electric City, Wash., Post Falls
and Priest River, Idaho prior to his move to Colville. James was a member of
the Cle Elum Eagles Lodge for 25 years and the Ellensburg Moose Lodge for 15
years. He loved to hunt and fish and spend time with family and friends.
Conversations shared around the card table and fire pit were some of his
favorites. James will be remembered as a great father, grandfather and friend
whose great strength of character, love for life and proud nature will be
missed.
He was preceded in death by his parents, brothers Sam and Gary Gunderson,
sister, Betty McLain, and niece, Audrey Hurst.
James is survived by his daughter, Kristie Brauhn and her husband, Tim,
Colville, Wash.; son, Mike Gunderson and his wife Alicia, Osburn, Idaho;

Bullhead City, Ariz.; six grandchildren, Katrina, Nicole, Crystal, Matt, Joey
and Gary, two great grandchildren, Layla and Halle Jo and numerous nieces and
