Jimmy was my a very good friend growing up, we shared alot of good times together. I remember all the good times we had driving truck together. His unique personality set him apart fromt the rest. I am glad we stayed in touch when he went his way and I went my way, i will remember you Jim “One of a Kind” Shreiner. You will remain with me my friend, until we meet again. God Bless!

For many Jimmy will be remembered as the goofy truck driver who enjoyed riding motorcycle or just going for a drive. The guy who didn’t know a stranger and never thought twice about putting others first.  He was the first one there and the last to leave. He did not know the word “no” and he never missed the chance to leave a voice mail with a unique twist. For me, he will always be remembered as the guy who came into my life and put up with my adolescent ways…breaking down my barriers while teaching me how to be a better version of myself. He was my constant, whether needing someone to talk to, “trying” to teach me to drive stick, making my birthday special by fighting the snow to bring yocco’s, coming to the rescue when I blew a tire, walking down the aisle with me on my special day or just being Jimmy. Today I grieve the step-father who never gave up on me…even when he was lost himself. Jimmy, I will never forget that you were there when it mattered…and in my heart I know you will continue to be an angel watching over me. To those that knew Jimmy now or in the past…remember the good and his unconditional love that he had for you…anyone can lose their way in life and although we may feel lost ourselves without his goofy ways, I pray that he has found peace as his new journey begins…

Missing someone is not about how long it has been since you have seen them or the amount of time since you have talked…It is about that very moment when you are doing something and wishing they were with you…”  You were an important part of our family and will forever remain within our hearts.  Our deepest sympathies to those that have loved and known our Jimmy!
