Jim Obenshain Memorial Fund
Donation protected
Hi Friends and Family,
In August of 2019, the Obenshain family and those who knew Jim, suffered a devastating loss. We want his legacy to live on and keep his memory alive.
The world is better for having had Jim Obenshain in it, he was incredibly kind man who put his heart and soul into everything he did -- he built a cabin in the dead of winter in the middle of British Columbia, moved to the Appalachian region to live off the land and later started numerous successful companies from his backyard (the most recent becoming the number one supplier of bird feeders to WalMart, Home Depot and Lowes). He fathered 4 children and doted on his loving wife, and was giving back every chance he had...Jim's unique story is one that should never be forgotten.
Many have asked to make a donation in Jim's honor so his kids set up this 'gofundme' page with the purpose of making small donations to causes that were important to Jim. Each year, his kids will decide on a worthy cause that was close to Jim's heart. Some will include:
Campobello Island Lighthouse which Jim spent his summers restoring, see pictures here of Jim working on the lighthouse -- one of his very favorite projects), Nature/Trees, Care for animals, etc.
We think this would be a great way to honor Jim's memory and invest in what mattered to him most so others can enjoy as he did. Thank you for considering a small donation in his honor.
