James Edgar "Jed" Dimock

James Edgar “Jed” Dimock, 57, of Menomonie, Wisconsin, passed away at his home on Sunday, February 8, 2026, after a prolonged and fierce battle with cancer. James was born in Texas and grew up in Frederick and Menomonie, WI. A 1980 graduate of Menomonie High School, he completed an associate degree in applied electronic studies from Thomas Edison State University.

James served 27 years in the United States Navy, focusing on computer technology and electronics. Throughout his military career he was stationed in many places around the world, including Afghanistan, Cuba, Iceland, New Zealand and Qatar.

After retiring from the Navy and returning to Menomonie, James continued his life of service with the Menomonie Lions, eventually becoming District Governor of MD27-E2, in west central Wisconsin. He was proud of both his military service and his service to the Menomonie Lions, especially his involvement with the Lions’ vision program in the schools.

James especially enjoyed computers, the latest technology, reading, bingo, his family and friends, his cats Mémé and Piston, and helping others.

He is survived by his mother Muriel Dimock (Jan Reeser), Red Wing, MN, his father Richard (Marie) Dimock, Florence, KY, sisters Amity Dimock, St. Paul, MN and Angelica Dimock, Minneapolis, MN, niece, Sophie Garcia, St. Paul, MN, and his long-term friend Emelda Zuschlag, of Arlington, VA.

He was preceded in death by his nephew, Kobe Dimock-Heisler and his brother-in-law, Encarnation (John) Garcia.

A memorial service will be held at 2:00 p.m., Thursday, February 19, at Olson Funeral Home in Menomonie, WI, with visitation beginning at 1:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to the Menomonie Lions, a cause very dear to James’s heart.
