James Lee Solano, 51, passed away on November 8, 2021. He was a resident of Colorado Springs for six years and was formerly a resident of Arvada, CO. He was a proud, life-long native of Colorado and worked for the United States Mint in Denver as a die setter for 21 years.
James (Jimmy) was born on February 6, 1970 to James J. Solano and Jocelyn (Croxton) Hostetter. He is survived by his two sons, James and Alec; his parents, Jim (Shelly) and Jocelyn; brother, Emiliano (Vanessa); niece, Leila; nephew, Emiliano; his loving partner in crime, Pauline; his fur babies, Honey and Peanut; as well as numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and dear friends.
Jimmy was very fond of sports and had a natural talent for baseball, football, and golf. He loved to bowl and shoot pool and enjoyed watching football, boxing, and horseracing. He had an infectious smile and an outrageous laugh. He lived life with a “go hard or go home” attitude and had a great respect for humor and living his life his own way. He loved all types of music and livened up the room with his unforgettable dance moves.
A Memorial Service is pending at this time.

16 Nov 2021Jimmy was a great guy. We talked about the Yankees several times a day. He was always willing to help his fellow co-workers, and enjoyed razing his Supervisors.

27 Nov 2021Dearest James,
I would like to thank you for the 15 years myself and my sons were blessed to know you.
You were like a big brother to me and an uncle to my boys.
Your coaching and support of my sons through their sports, I am grateful.
Passing on your competitive spirit, the love for football and a good time.
Through the good and bad, the ups and downs this bronco fan, who bleeds blue and orange has always and, will always hold your memories close.
I’ll think of you with each game I watch and cherish the memories of you giving me hell like only a true Raider fan could, tipping a brew in your honor.
Your fight is over,
R.I.P.
