James Wilton Ritenour, Jr., 61, of Bealeton, Virginia, died on Monday, November 21, 2016 at INOVA Fairfax Hospital.

Born on January 31, 1955, he was the son of Clarene and James Wilton Ritenour, Sr. of Nokesville, VA. He was preceded in death by his father.

James was a 1973 graduate of Brentsville District High School in Nokesville, VA with an outstanding football legacy. He had a tremendous impact on numerous people, as he thoroughly enjoyed helping family, friends, and coworkers.

James never tired of spending time with his two nephews, his sister and his brother-in-law, whether it was working or just having fun. Lending a helping hand to his mother after the death of his father was just who James was. He was always willing to learn something new. He gave himself unselfishly in everything he did and expected nothing in return.

As an avid runner, and lover of animals and the outdoors, James will be truly missed and may his kind and caring spirit surround us all.

He is survived by his loving wife of 41 years, Joan Ritenour; his mother, Clarene Ritenour of Nokesville, VA; sister, Carolyn J. Herndon and her husband, Glen Herndon of Nokesville, VA; and his nephews, Matthew A. Heisler of Balko, OK and Jason E. Heisler of Louisa, VA.

The family will receive visitors on Friday, December 2, 2016 from 10:00 a.m.-11:00 a.m. at Baker-Post Funeral Home & Cremation Center, 10001 Nokesville Road, Manassas, Virginia. A funeral service will begin at 11:00 a.m. in the funeral home chapel with Pastor Mark Poole officiating.
