James Douglas Byrne V was born on November 3, 1985 in Iowa City, IA to James and Kristine (Keough) Byrne. He attended school in Rockford, IA, graduating from the R-R-MR High School, class of 2004. James furthered his education having attended NIACC in Mason City. James had been employed as a carpenter for Fagen Inc. based out of Granite Falls, MN in the building and construction of several of the ethanol plants throughout the state of Iowa.
His passion in life was all sports whether playing or watching them. James was a star football player at the R-R-MR High School, having earned second team All-Conference, in two consecutive years. He was very school oriented and that translated in to being a great student. James was very well-liked and often thought of others before himself. He had a wonderful sense of humor and an ability to make people smile. He will also be remembered for being an extremely hard worker and taking the time to teach kids about the discipline of sports.
He had a special place in his heart for all people and enjoyed talking with them. Perhaps his greatest joy in life was spending time with his family and friends.
James will be dearly missed and fondly remembered by all who loved and knew him.
Those grateful for having had the privilege of sharing in his life are his mother, Kristine (John) Menting of Mason City; his father, James Byrne of Rockford; fiancée, Lindsey Johnson of Rudd; one sister, Jessica Byrne of Rockford; two brothers, Kolton Byrne and Karson Stevens, both of Nora Springs; two step-brothers, Cody Menting and Christopher Menting, both of Mason City; his grandparents, Terry (Nancy) Keough of Rudd; great-grandmother, Margaret Finch of Manly, as well as numerous cousins, aunts, uncles, other relatives and friends that survive him.
James was preceded in death by his grandparents, James and Gertrude “Gertie” Byrne; grandfather, Gary Wolff and his uncle, Travis Keough.
