Jim, You were the best big brother. You had the qualities that a friend needs to be a true friend. You put the needs of others before your own. You loved God, Family, and Country. You honored all by your service to youth in the community. We will love you forever. Job well done.

Jimmy will be missed. What an honorable giving man. The world lost a special person and heaven gained an angel.

Jim, we had a lot of good years as "partners in crime" promoting NHSA, producing horse shows and banquets, halloween contests, Santa Clause shopping, futurities... So many dinners at Pat's Kitchen and the Steer Grill. We had our differences but we were always friends. Rest easy now, Jim. It's your turn to supervise. We will miss you.

Jimmy, you will always remain in my heart. Thank you for always being there to help me when I didn't even know I needed help, for introducing me to things I didn't even know I wanted to do, and most of all, for being a "brother" to a lost little girl in this crazy world! Life just got a lot harder for so many people now that you're not here to help! You will be missed so much! Love you, Jimmy! Xoxo, Skeeter
