To Nell and the family Tangie and I are holding each of you in our heart, in our arms and in our prayers. Jim entered our lives on Easter Sunday 2023 and became so deeply loved by us that it felt as though he has been there for all our lives. In a real sense, we feel like family and the loss of Jim is our loss too. Our lives have been enriched and the world is a better place because of Jim.

Nell.....I´m so sorry for your loss...you´re in our thoughts and prayers for comfort.....Kathy (Drum) Liggett

Big Jim Your Oasis Family will miss you. I know you are singing with the Angels and maybe watching some baseball. Blessed beyond measure to have known you. Nancy

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

What a live well lived! I am very thankful to have met Jim through my dear friend Nell. What a great example Jim was of Christlike service to others. I am especially thankful for his kindness to my children. Godspeed and we will meet again. Love and hugs to Nell and the rest of the family.

I am proud to have been Jim's friend and professional colleague for the past 55 years and am heartbroken with his passing. I love him like a brother and will be hard pressed to know another as kind and considerate as he lived his life. As another colleague told me recently, Jim was a true gentleman. My deepest condolences to Nell, Jay and Wade and his whole family. RIP Jim and in heaven your guitar will never lose its tune.

I grew up with Jay and got to know Jim better the older we got. I see so much of him in his boys (though as sons may do, they might deny how much they've grown up to become their father) and was fortunate to need his professional counsel recently which taught me even more about what an amazing man Jim was to so many. We are all better having known him or the impact of him in the relationships we all have with his family. Prayers to all the Carvells.
