James Lee “Jim” Townsend, 86, Warsaw, passed away Jan. 29, 2022, at Parkview Whitley Hospital, Columbia City. Born March 11, 1935, in Muncie, Jim was the son of the late James Henry and Jessie Ruth (Peasley) Townsend.

While attending Muncie Central High School, Jim was a member of the swim team. After graduating in 1953, Jim married Margaret Suzanne “Suzy” Dome on May 22, 1954. Together they had five children, Daniel, Frances, Diane, Cindy, and Jonathan Townsend. Later in life Jim graduated from Manchester College with a degree in sociology.

Jim began his professional career in the tool and die industry, working for a few companies before settling in with Dana Weatherhead Corp, Columbia City, for twenty-five years. He also had an entrepreneurial spirit. In the 1960s Jim started two motorcycle shops, and in 1973 he founded James Townsend & Son, Inc, which makes reproduction 18th and 19th century clothing and personal accessories.

James "Jim" Townsend of Jas. Townsend & Son which is now known as Townsends' has passed away. Mr. Townsend passed away over the weekend from complications from a heart attack. His son John runs Townsends, and we are all familiar with Jim's son, John, from the cooking videos that he has produced in the past few years. Jas. Townsend & Son was born in 1973 (didn't yet have that name) when Jim started making candle lanterns, and it grew into the large mail-order sutlery, and later online sutler and YouTube channel today known as Townsends. I am sorry for the loss of one of the foundational fellows of our current hobby. Glad for the fact he saw his concern grow into the internationally known and well liked firm that it is today.

It was the FATHER who passed, not the son! The son does the YouTube videos.

It is with deep regret that we inform you that James Townsend has passed away over the weekend after complications from a heart attack. Many of you were friends with Jim. He started selling candle lanterns to the historical reenacting community in 1973, which turned into a catalog mail order company that was run out of his garage, and eventually turned into the Jas. Townsend and Son that you know today. For almost fifty years he enjoyed, encouraged, and supported the historical reenacting community. He will be missed.

Heart attack is all it said

Are you kidding me?.. the "son" has to be over 50.. if his father died, the guy had to be pushing 90..

This isnt news.

This thread had me scared for a second.. I watch all his videos..

Omg that terrible, I really like his videos

awe that sucks. he was cool.

HE'S STILL ALIVE


Topic is bullshit.

The guy who bad mouthed Trump and then cried about the backlash...that guy?

Did he badmouth Trump?

I saw that he made an old orange drink and said people misunderstood that.

It's the YouTuber's father that died

OP thought the YT video guy was the guy that died. It's sad he passed away, but no need to knee jerk, OP.

Oh ok wow. I watch the channel I was wondering if it was him

Exactly no one cares about the old guy we like the youtube dude

I bet the plump cook/bartender will be the next to croak unless he lessens his girth. James has a good channel and it's a pleasure to see how our forefathers eaked out a living in a new born country.

Keep up the good work, James. Sorry for your loss.

Still good to know and RIP to his father who certainly taught him a lot and now shares with us!

I guess his videos were made at an earlier time? He doesn't look to be in his 80s even in the last one added.

Never mind- I see it was his father who died.

I'm sorry to hear it, I've enjoyed quite a few of his videos.

I am so glad to learn about this channel!

Pete Townsend passed away?

Misunderstood him? He knew what he was doing.

RIP to his father.

RIP

God bless
