James Fortner Obituary
We are sad to announce that, on February 7, 2026 we had to say goodbye to James Fortner of Wichita, Kansas. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of James Fortner to show support.
As we bid James farewell, let us not mourn the absence of his physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of his spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For James is not truly gone, but merely transformed, his energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.
He was predeceased by: his parents, Cora Fortner and Virgil Fortner; his sister Mary Ann; his son Chandler Fortner; and his granddaughter Eliza Fortner.
He is survived by: his wife Joyce Fortner of Andover, Kansas; his son Nathan Fortner (Jessica); his grandchildren, Joshua of Eudora, Kansas, Elliot of Eudora, Kansas and Amelia of Eudora, Kansas; and his sister Kathy Harper-Hileman (Donnie) of Fruitland, Idaho..
