James CLIMIE

1942 - 2021

CLIMIE, James H. "Jim"

James H. "Jim" Climie, age 79, of Dayton, went home to be with Jesus on Saturday, December 18, 2021, at Hospice of

Dayton. He was born May 5, 1942, in Flint, Michigan, the son of Charles "Hank" Climie and Dorothea "Dot" Latimer. Jim worked at NCR for over 30 years and then became a financial director for Hillside Chapel for 15 years. He had a heart for serving the Lord and going on mission trips; especially to

Cuba, Texas, and the Dominican Republic. Along with serving the Lord, he served his community with Habitat for Humanity. He enjoyed the outdoors, hunting, fishing and playing sports such as softball and beach ball volleyball. He especially loved to go camping and spending time with his family and friends. Ultimately, he wanted others to know Christ as their Saviour; praying for them and telling others about Him. He is preceded in death by his parents and siblings, Robert "Bobby" Climie and Verna Ciesielski. Jim is survived by his wife of 58 years, Carol; children, Jeff Climie, Kurt (Sarah) Climie and Wade (Mary Joyce) Climie; grandchildren, Anthony "A.J", Olivia, Kenton (Navy), Grant (Army), Micah, Samantha, Lydia and Robby; brother, William "Bill" (Denise) Climie and numerous nieces and nephews "The Climie Clan".
