Jim Koontz Obituary, Death Cause – I have had the privilege of knowing Jim Koontz for over 15 years, forging a friendship through countless wrestling tournaments and matches that we officiated together. Jim was an integral part of a special crew of officials, alongside Bryan Swartz and Rick C Trimmer. This unique trio traveled across the state, dedicating their time and expertise to officiate various levels of Pennsylvania Junior Wrestling (PJW) events. Jim Koontz was more than just a colleague; he was a friend and a mentor.

His passion for the sport and unwavering dedication to fair play made him a respected figure in the wrestling community. Whether it was a local match or a statewide tournament, Jim brought professionalism and integrity to every officiating assignment. As we bid farewell to Jim, our thoughts and condolences go out to his family, especially his wife Collette, and the entire Carlisle Wrestling Officials Chapter. Jim’s absence leaves a void that cannot be easily filled,

but his legacy will live on through the countless wrestlers and officials he has inspired and influenced over the years. In this challenging time, let us come together to remember the moments we shared with Jim Koontz and celebrate the positive impact he had on the wrestling community. His memory will forever be etched in the hearts of those who had the honor of working alongside him, and his contributions to the sport will be remembered with gratitude and respect.
