James Louis Fahrenholtz died at his home on Friday, August 20, 2021. He was 72. Known by all as Jimmy, he was born in New Orleans on August 1, 1949 to Josephine Mae Deidrich Fahrenholtz and Cyril Benedict Fahrenholtz. He leaves behind his wife of 26 years, Pamela Carol Butler.

He was a proud product of New Orleans public schools and graduated from Fortier High School in 1967. He attended Tulane University on a basketball scholarship but did not complete a bachelor’s degree until 1992 from Ottawa University.
