Having worked for Jim for 14 years, I knew he was a strong businessman with a good heart! He would light up when his children and grandchildren came to visit. I always admired the two worlds he lived in - business and his love of horses! May he Rest In Peace from a life well lived! Sending our Prayers and Deepest Sympathy To Jamie, Jenny and the Grandchildren. Sincerely, Trish and Mike Schott

From the first day I met Jim I adored him. His love for his horses his family and friends, most importantly his love for our loving and making our grandmother so happy (Ginny Peasley). The stories of Bob Mattox, Ginny & Jim growing up together were so fun to hear. They are all together again. To Jims entire family & friends my heart is with you all. ❤Melissa
