My father Roy, was very close friends with both Jim and Farrah.
Actually my dad helped save Jim’s business back in the day during a hard time. My dad always shared the story about how Ryan called my dad to express his gratitude and appreciation for saving Jim’s business. As Ryan put it: a happy Jim makes a happy Farrah! And a happy Farrah makes me happy Dad always told me about the incredible devotion and love that Farrah had for her father Jim. I remember dad telling me: Jim was quite a character with a good sense of humor I, personally had two chances to meet Farrah. Sadly due to one thing or another, it never happened. So dad asked Farrah for this great autograph picture: Erik, with love and kisses, and regards to your dad too, Farrah Farrah certainly made Jim proud!
I only wish I could’ve met both Mr. Fawcett and His beautiful daughter, Farrah. They both had every right to be proud of each other ! May they Rest In Peace.

His daughter Farrah was no less than an American Princess.

Rest In Peace.

I worked for Jimbo after my senior year with Jeff, the three of us went to Hollywood and stayed at Farrah's house, awesome family, was very sad to here his passing.

After reading all the wonderful memories of James and his family, I know this was a family that was dearly loved by so many. I was just reading about Farrah on line, when I stumbled on the news that her father had passed a short time after she did.
My deepest sympathy is extended to all of his family. Farrah was one extraordinary beauty of whom I admired. Thank you for sharing the memories of her father, James. My eyes are wet from tears, but I did feel the warmth, love, and joy in each one of the messages as well.

I called him Jim. He was quite a character with a great sense of humor. I first met him at a bank in Houston that I worked for. He owned the service that would take care of janitorial needs at the bank. He brought Farrah to the bank and took a group of us went to Pizza Hut on FM 1960 and we all had lunch with Farrah. I left the bank after several years but would continue to see him around the neighborhood. He was so much fun! The last time I saw him before Pauline's death, was in a doctors office with Pauline, we had a nice little reunion. I had no way of knowing that it was the last time I'd see him. Rest in peace Jim, Pauline, Diane, and Farrah. I feel so special to have known all of you.

Redmond & family.
So sorry for your loss. Although it is a difficult time. I now his family will take some peace in knowing he is with his beautiful daughters and his beloved Pauline. They are all together now. My sincere condolences to all of you. May God Bless all of you.

Sofia I'm so sorry to hear of your sad loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow. I will always cherish Jim's stories forever. Jim was a great guy and always made you feel you were his best friend! He was a caring person and a happy guy to be around. He will be missed very much. May God bless Jim, I'm proud to say I knew him!!

RIP Uncle Jimmy, You will be greatly missed! Even though I only seen you a few times your stories you told gave my mother,father and our family great laughs. You were such a joy to bbe around, always a beautiful smiling face, nothing but kindness and quite the jokester! Im glad that our Heavenly Father has taken you home to be with the rest of your family and you will feel no pain no more, your suffering is done with. Now our heavenly father can have many laughs! I know you are and wil always be greatly missed and always remembered, for you were so dear to my mother and father and brother, they were so lucky to spend the time they did with you. I know you were greeted by aunt Pauline, Diane, and farrah and I know my father couldnt wait for you to get to heaven so he could see his dearest friend! Prayers are sent to the ones that are left behind that loved you so much!

I was surfing the Internet tonight and just found out about this. Even though I never met Farrah, I still have her poster (yes!) and her autograph through my mother (they met at my mother's work). I even remember Farrah from her early television commercials. From what I know about Mr. Fawcett, he himself was a remarkable person and a joy to be around. He was, by all accounts, a wonderful father and, frankly, the father I wish I had. I would have loved to hear some of his stories, especially about the Texas oil business! Even though his later years were filled with sorrow over the loss of his first wife and his daughters and the struggles his grandson Redmond has had, at least now he is in a better place, reunited with Pauline and the daughters who both died too soon. I am happy to see that Mike Pingel and Craig Nevius, both of whom worked with Farrah, posted messages here.

Daddy Jimbo's passing has been so hard. He was like a 2nd dad to me especially when Farrah & I were younger. Farrah loved her daddy so much & she & I sat up many late nights sharing special memories of our parents especially of times with her dad. She said: "Daddy I want Melissa to call you Daddy Jimbo. We loved joining him in hunting etc. Farrah & I are very sports oriented & her dad often practiced sports with us years back training us with the skills we needed to practice to be more competitive. The world has lost a very special man. Daddy Jimbo I miss your smiling face. In Farrah's Honor I repeat her words she expressed to you: " You gave me life & you were the greatest dad around." Farrah said it all so I'll end with her words & add some of my own: Thank you Daddy Jimbo for giving your GREATEST BLESSING Farrah. With Love Eternal until we meet again.

RIP, James. Now you are with your beloved daughter in a beautiful place and both at peace. xxx

I am so sorry on the loss of Mr. Jim Fawcett. He is now with his family together in heaven. Thank you for giving us Farrah and Diane. My heart goes out to his family and loves ones during this sad time.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family, Mr. Fawcett. Rest in Peace.

Dear Mr. Fawcett,

On behalf of all her fans, thank you very much for the tremendous gift you gave the world in the form of Farrah Fawcett. Her devotion to you and her mother is a testament to her good upbringing. Much love to you and your family always.

I am so glad that Rodney and I were able to visit with you and Sofia in your home last December. Our families friendship since the early 1930's started with living next door to each other in Corpus Christi. Recalling a few of my memories: When Pauline was upset and cut your bathing suit into two pieces to prevent you from going swimming without her, because she couldn't go due to her pregnancy with Diane; attending school, swimming and dancing lessons with Diane, going to Pauline's "Come as you are" breakfasts, both you and Pauline coming by the house on Sunday nights for coffee, Farrah spending her high school summers with us in Concan, Texas, just to name a few. Our on-going lifetime friendship has been what wonderful memories are made of! I shall never forget them, or your beautiful smile!

Sorry to hear about "uncle" jimmy's passing. Met him at Mark & Carole's wedding.

Jim was truly "one of a kind" and thoughts of him always bring a smile. So many wonderful memories. He will be missed by so many.

I have missed your wit and sense of humor and forever grateful to you for being such a great friend to my father standing up for him and his family when he was unable to do so himself...wish I had taken the opportunity to personally thank you

Again...Rest in peace my Uncle...(**)...j

Dear Jimmy you and Mark will always be forever in our hearts, we will miss your smiles and that boyish charm and will love you both always. Love you,
Carole Fawcett

Jimbo.....you will be missed by all us girls you raised along side of Farrah. We knew never to stay out too late, or get in trouble....but if we did, you disciplined us with that magical, loving grin on your face, gave us a kiss and sent us to bed !! Peace be with you ! Give Pauline, Diane, and Farrah a big hug when you see them !!

Mr Fawcett was so much fun as I remember him back in the days of the old Republic National Bank. When I think of him, now and in the future, I will always remember the laughs we shared.

Jimmy, you were such a hoot! You sure brought some laughter when you came into our office!! Really, I truly loved the way you loved Ms. Pauline. Up until the day she passed, I could see the love you two had for each other was like none I have ever seen. My heart is happy to know that the two of you have found each other in heaven and will be together, along with your girls, Diane & Farrah, for eternity. Sweet dreams my friend. Love, Stephanie R. (NWDC)

Mr. Fawcett was always nice to me and was a great friend to all who knew him. He was an angel on this earth and I wish that he has peace with Farrah and Pauline and everyone else in the promised land. Thanks for being so nice to my family, Jim.

My prayers and thoughts are with the Fawcett family.

Mr.Fawcett--what a wonderful man. This planet will not be the same without his presence. The thought of him joining his precious Diane, Farrah and Miss Pauline brings peace and comfort. My thoughts and prayers are with the family in this difficult time.

Jim was one of a kind and always brought a smile and a kind word with him. We will miss him very much. Claudia and John Holman

Jim, you were indeed my best man and my best friend. Thank you for sharing some of the best memories of my life. You will be always missed and never forgotten.

The loss of Jim Fawcett, a very dear friend of mine shall carry weight on my heart. He will truly be missed. Love Gloria J. Williams

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

Even though his daughter was one of the most famous people in the world, Jim was never known as "Farrah Fawcett's father." Instead, Farrah was known as "Jim Fawcett's daughter." At least to the people who knew them. Farrah often told me that "Daddy" was the real star of the family. And with his outgoing nature and outrageous sense of humor, it was easy to see why Jim was a "star" -- although he once told me that he was "too pretty" to be photographed. Jim Fawcett's colorful stories and distinctly Texan sayings made him a combination of Mark Twain and John Wayne. He was (and will remain) unforgettable to all who knew him. My thoughts are with Mrs. Fawcett, his brother Daryl, and his grandson Redmond.

Rest in peace, James Fawcett, after a long life well-lived. As you rejoin the loved ones who went before you, my heart goes out to those you leave behind. In them you will live on.

You were a man of great strength and courage. I admired you greatly. My sincere condolences to your family and friends. May You Rest in Peace...

She had "her Father's eyes, eyes full of compassion, seeing every pain, knowing what you are going through and feeling it the same." (Amy Grant/Gary Chapman) Farrah Fawcett's great success was also due to good parenting and great DNA. I thought she looked exactly like her dad. You could see their great compassion in the work for the American Cancer society and in Farrah's story.
Sleep softly now, it is your turn to rest.

Jim, you were a wonderful, respected and dignified man. May you find eternal comfort in the arms of the Lord and have eternal peace with Pauline, Diane and Farrah. RIP

Im very sorry to hear of his death, He lost both daughters to cancer and lost his wife. i hope he is at peace seeing all of them again. God Speed.

Deepest sympathies sent to the Fawcett family over the loss of another fine human-being. Now he will be with his family and a wonderful reunion to take place in the Lord's kingdom. Deepest love sent from across the States from the Hartman-Yates household. May it give you comfort to know that many share in your grief of loss and that many share in the love of this man and in them his legacy and life-thread continues on. Love, Dennis Kendell Yates and life-partner, Kenneth Glenn Hartman.

You were a great man and father who I admired greatly. Rest in peace and know you were loved by so many.

Daddy Fawcett, the news of your passing has brought a dark shadow over my day.

I will always remember your deep Texan voice, quip remarks, and the early morning phone calls to wake Farrah up. She loved you so much and as you loved her. I’m sure you are in heaven with you're girls enjoying a freshly baked pie by Farrah & Pauline.

My deepest sympathies go out to Redmond, Sophie and the rest of the Fawcett family. May you watch over them from above and rest in peace.

PS. I always laugh when I make turkey bacon.

Im so sad to hear this. But take comfort your with your beautiful daughtes and wife. So sad.

Mister Fawcett you were a great man and a great father ...rest in peace ...
Véronique Chérancé France

The world was heartbroken when a little over one year ago we could see the pain in the eyes of a Father burrying his youngest daughter. Today our thoughts are for the rest of the Fawcett family, may they find comfort in knowing that God has put an end to his pain, and that this beautiful loving family is reunited forever in heaven.

With heartfelt sympathy, and deep respect

I am very sorry, he is now with his daughters..
Hugs

Jim you were truly one of a kind. Your wit and wry sense of humor will be forever missed. May God hold you in the palm of his hand for all enternity.

My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Fawcett family during this time.

Thank you Jim for giving us Farrah. You, Pauline, Diane and Farrah will all be together now as a family and will be missed very much. You are with the light now. Rest in Peace.

"Jimbo" You were a Great Father to two beautiful daughters. Loving husband. a great Granfather & Uncle. I was very lucky to get to know you and your family. I will miss your quick wit. But will remember you and the entire Fawcett Family for the rest of my life...Thank's for all those wonderful moment's we shared...As I'm sure you will rejoin them all in heaven!
God Bless
