| Obituary | Nov 2, 2024 | OBITUARY: RICHFORD - James Rhodes, age 69, passed away on Wednesday, October 30, 2024 surrounded by his family at his home in Richford. He was born July 6, 1955 in St. Albans to the late Floyd & Doris (Marcy) Rhodes. A true Vermonter through and through, Jim was a graduate of Enosburg Falls High School and went on to marry the love of his life, Suzanne (Tessier) Rhodes. They were married for 48 years until her passing in 2022. As the proud owner of Outpost Guns & Ammo, his dedication and expertise in firearms shone through, a reflection of his deep-seated love for hunting and history. His gun shop was the local hub for telling stories, learning about guns, and spending time with friends. Jim's family and close friends meant the world to him, and he was loyal to them all. If Jim was on your side, you could always count on him being in your corner to defend you. You could also count on him letting you know what you did wrong in private! His love for family knew no bounds. He also had a generous spirit when it came to children, he would give his last dollar if it would keep a child from going hungry. He is survived by his children, Mary Rhodes, and Shane Rhodes and his wife Krista; four grandchildren, James Rhodes Mason, Cameron Rhodes, Harper Cole, and Barrett Rhodes; siblings, Cathy Rhodes-Gibney and her husband Chad, and Jack Rhodes; mother-in-law, Joyce Tessier; siblings-in-law, Brian & Sue Tessier, Ricky & Cher Tessier, Kenny & Nancy Tessier, Jean & George Jacobs, Valerie & Rodney Lucier, Dale Tessier, Randy Tessier, Kevin & Carol Tessier, Sonja & Doug Lacross, Tammy & Bert Combs, Jeffrey Tessier, and Denis & Heidi Tessier; and several nieces & nephews. In addition to his parents, James was predeceased by his wife, Suzanne Rhodes; father-in-law, Nelson Tessier; sisters-in-law, Jennifer Tessier, and Teresa Tessier; and his niece, Heather Lucier. Friends & family are invited to Jim's life celebration to include a graveside memorial service on Friday, November 8, 2024 at 11:00 AM at the Richford Center Cemetery, South Richford Road, Richford, VT.
