James R. McNarie rode to the eternal round-up from his ranch
headquarters in Bandera, Texas on Feb, 21, 2008, at the age of 71. He
was born August 27, 1936, in Prescott, Ariz., to M.J. “Pop” and
Eleanor J. McNarie.

He served 20 years in the U.S. Air Force, which included over 100
tactical missions during a tour in Vietnam, and continued on to also
retire from Northrop Corporation. He was predeceased by his parents,
his sisters Barbara Stepanowski and Joan (James T) Kellis, and his
infant son Timothy J. He is survived by his loving wife, Tamsen
(Thomason); his children Dawn (Dallas) Wickstrom, Cheryl (Michael)
Stackhouse, James R. (Jean) Jr., and David; his grandchildren
Timothy, Tyree, Holly, Cody, Dallas, Heather, Shaun and Ryan; his
brothers Robert, William, and Donald; the Bud Fitzpatrick family, and
numerous other friends.

In keeping with his wishes, there will be no formal services. The
family suggests contributions made in memory of James Ray McNarie to
the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, 2990 Sunridge Heights Parkway,

Every day is a gift, make it a great one!
