Obituary : James (Jim) Albert Mont
Retired USAF Lt. Colonel James (Jim) Albert Mont,
67, passed peacefully on Friday, January 28, 2022, surrounded by his family.
Jim was born in 1954 in Austin, TX to Paul Mont, an Air Force and NASA engineer
and Frances Mont, a homemaker.
As a military brat, Jim moved all over the world,
including his favorite tour in Seville, Spain. He graduated high school in
Marietta, GA, where he met his future wife, Lauren. They were married in 1975
and had three daughters: Brianna, Chelsea and Laurie. Jim earned a master's in
engineering from St. Mary's University and began his distinguished and
decorated career as an Air Force Officer and Pilot. He served as a flight
instructor, worked Presidential Detail for the Reagan Administration, flew
medical evacuation missions, and finally served as the Commander of Chievres
Air Force Base in Belgium.
Jim retired in 2000 and began his second career as
a Delta Airline Pilot, where he flew until he retired in 2015 to take care of
Lauren as she battled cancer. After losing Lauren in 2015, he found comfort in
his grandchildren, flying recreationally, church, friends and travel.
Eventually, he met and fell in love with his second wife, Caryn, and the two
created a beautiful new life together out of their love and mutual experience.
Jim will be remembered for his clear sense of
purpose, service to his country, love for his family, quiet confidence, sense
of humor and kindness.
Jim was preceded in death by his father and first
wife. He is survived by his wife, Caryn Barre, mother, sisters, daughters,
daughter-in-law, sons-in-law, and grandchildren. Jim's service will be held on
Thursday, March 3, 2022, at 10:30 a.m. at FRENCH - Westside, followed by the
burial at the Santa Fe National Cemetery at 2:00 p.m.
