Capt. James L. Brister USAF (Ret.)

I will remember your impish smile, your intellect, and your willingness to get involved. You have an undaunting spirit that all who know you should emulate. Here's to you Jim. I am proud to know you and to have been a small part of your life.

Dee, I am so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I served with Jim at AFMEA and he has been our family attorney for many years. He will be missed.

We are saddened by our loss of Jim. He was such a vibrant part of our Rotary Club meetings each week and we will miss his humor, wisdom, and fellowship. His courage through this difficult time was inspirational as he stayed active with us even when we knew he wasn't having a great day. He was so proud of his grandchildren and his family and spoke frequently of them. May God Bless you during this difficult time.

Dee,We are so sorry for your loss. Jim was a fighter and his courage was an inspiration to us. He will be missed. Sincerely, Gary and Cecilia

We worked with Mr Brister for many years thru the Judson Tax Office. I want to extend my sympathies to your family. He had quite a personality and was one of the biggest Judson Rockets fans around!
He will be truly missed on Football Friday nights in those "special" pants he would wear to the games!

Dee, Joe and Virginia and family

Cissy and I share in your loss and we will miss Jim. He was one who would fight to the very end and not give in easily. He loved life and his wife and family. We shared many good memories in our law partnership. Jim always had the highest of goals, vision and a drive to be the best at whatever he did.

We will truly miss him.

Dear Mrs. Brister,
Your husband and I worked together on many tax cases over the years. He was always professional, polite, and prepared in court, and he represented his client with integrity. I'm so sorry to hear the news. My condolences to you and your family.

Mrs. Brister and family,
Words can't explain how much I appreciated your husband. He was active politically and I had the pleasure of meeting him in '96 when he first ran for office. He also helped our campaign and was extremely gracious & kind. We will miss Jim & I'm glad I had a chance to make his acquaintance. God Bless you and your family and thanks for sharing him w/ the rest of us.

De, I graduated with Jimmy and enjoyed the past class reunions..I live in Water Valley now, and another friend he went to school with here, Mary Lou Jones, and I were able to call and chat with Jimmy this year, catching up on so many years. I feel your loss and your family's. He will certainly be missed.
