James Joseph Flavin


Fortified with the Sacraments of Holy Mother Church, James Joseph Flavin, Jr, Jim, passed away peacefully surrounded in love by his family. Jim was a proud graduate and active alum of Bishop Dubourg High School (1958) and Saint Louis University (1962).
Jim’s work in life insurance and financial planning were entwined with his life as he started his career with many friends becoming clients and ended his career with all clients as friends. Jim was an active parishioner of The Immacolata Church, an avid sports fan and youth CYC coach and volunteer of the Boy Scouts of America. Jim never met a stranger, was famous for telling stories and unwaveringly loyal and proud of his family.
Jim is preceded in death by his parents, James and Kathryn Flavin and brother, Michael (Mick). Jim is survived by his loving family, wife of 52 years, Karen (Rathmann), sons, Kevin (Donna) and Michael (Rachel), daughters, Carrie Wenberg (Ken) and Kate McKinley (Paul), five grandchildren that adore him, Ryan, Ellie Wenberg, Aidan, Grayson McKinley and Elizabeth and brothers, Gerard (Jerry) and John.

    Kevin,

    So sorry for your loss. Looking at the video, it appears you had a special relationship with your dad. What a blessing.

    May God’s peace be with you as you anticipate a joyful reunion in Heaven.

    Sincerely,
    Bob and Melanie
