James Graham Haynes of Loveland, Colo. died April 26, 2017 in McKee Medical Center. He was born Feb. 25, 1947 in Livingston, Texas.
Jim served in U.S. Army for 11 years including service in Germany and Vietnam. He spent many years in the printing industry including newspapers in Livingston and Longmont, Colo. He later became an over the road truck driver which allowed him to experience sights and flavors of different parts of the country.
Throughout his lifetime, he enjoyed mastering various activities such as piloting small planes, skydiving, riding his motorcycle, golf, and a lifelong love of hunting, fishing and camping. When his health no longer allowed these activities, he enjoyed hearing stories of his grandson's outdoor adventures. Jim also enjoyed exploring the backroads of Colorado and the west and traveling with his wife. As a 16-year cancer survivor, he felt blessed to be able to spend time with his grandchildren.
James is survived by parents B.R. and Faylene Haynes of Livingston; his wife of 41 years, Debbie Haynes of Loveland; son, Matthew Haynes of Loveland; daughters, Sarah Campbell of Loveland and Judy Stewart of Orlando, Fla.; siblings, Joe Haynes and wife Nancy, John Haynes and wife Londa, and David Haynes and wife Lisa, all of Livingston, and Janice Haynes of Chadron, Neb.; grandchildren, Dustin Campbell, Riley and Carly Vance and Mason Haynes, all of Loveland; as well as a host of extended family and friends.
