Help Honor the Legacy of William “Bill” Remick
La Junta recently lost a hometown hero, Mr. William “Billy” Remick—a dedicated husband, father, grandfather, teacher, coach, and cherished member of our community.
Bill taught K-2 P.E. at La Junta Primary School for many years before transitioning to La Junta High School as the Strength and Conditioning Instructor. He also had the privilege of coaching the La Junta Tiger Track Team, serving as Head Coach for many years. Bill was currently serving as the Assistant Principal at Tiger Trades Academy, where he found his greatest success in the relationships and trust he built with his staff and students.
Beyond his professional roles, Bill was deeply committed to helping others. He served as a volunteer firefighter, a Parks and Recreation coach, and a volunteer coach for the Colorado Speed Track Club. He also worked part-time for the City of La Junta Parks and Recreation Department, always giving back to his community.
The Remick Family has made countless contributions to the La Junta community, consistently supporting those in need with kindness and generosity. For many years, Bill and Diana have given away free costumes to children each October, spreading joy and love to others. They have devoted their lives to educating and inspiring countless students in the East Otero School District. Bill's final act of generosity was the ultimate gift of life through the Donors Alliance, a testament to his enduring legacy of giving.
Now, it’s our turn to give back. Let’s rally as a community to support the Remick Family during this extremely difficult time.
