Not sure what to say?

He is my grandpa and he is very cool I am sad he passed

J.D. and I served together at the Dallas Police Dept. and we both served in the United States Marine Corps. I just found out today that he had passed away. J. D. always displayed kindness and concern for others and was a strong advocate for veterans. He was a friend.

David and I were saddened to read about Jim. Our prayers are with Gail and Jennifer and other family members.

I'm so Happy that God let me know this man, he was my neighbor & friend. He will be missed but I will always remember JD & his BIG HEART! LOVE YOU, Amy Strom

My friend. A man I respected and looked up to. Your kindness and generosity were a sight to behold!! You were someone the Great I Am commissioned!!

I had the pleasure of working with JD 19 years ago and thoroughly enjoyed his company and advice. I never had the opportunity to ride with him, but sure do wish I had. The Legions world has a void that will be hard to fill. God Bless you all and he will Rest In Peace in the company of the Lord.

JD loved to help others. May God grant him rest and peace, and may He bless you and your family in this time of loss and sorrow.

Jd, you have been an inspiration to so many. Rest in peace.
