James Reynvaan – September 2, 2021

Tara Kerzhner his daughter is organizing this fundraiser on behalf of Debbie Reynvaan.

It is with great sadness that I am sharing that my dad, James Reynvaan has passed away on Thursday, September 2nd. James was a beloved husband to Debbie, father to Joshua and Tara, and grandfather to his five grandchildren. He was also an artist, mentor, friend, school bus driver and much more. I respected him immensely and his smile, sense of humor, and constant shenanigans will live forever in my heart.

James walked through life with strength. Both in his faith in God and his deep connection to his Nez Perce heritage. He believed he was deeply connected to the land, especially on the Nez Perce reservation.

It breaks my heart to say that my dad's death was a tragedy of COVID-19. He spent almost two weeks in St. Charles Medical Center in Bend being cared for by the incredible nurses, doctors and other practitioners. I created this GoFundMe https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-jamess-medical-costs/donate as a way to contribute for those of you who have asked how you can help financially. All proceeds will go to his loving wife Debbie to help with medical bills and funeral costs.

My dad taught me how to communicate, the value of relationships, and inspired me to become the artist I am today. He will live on forever in his art, my art, as well as in the memories of all the people that loved him.
