Not sure what to say?

I met Jim when he was 5-6 years old. I will always remember the smiling Rosie cheeked boy, who grew up to be a great man. We spoke in January for an hour. We talked about you coming to Wisconsin to visit your Uncle Dan. We were so looking forward to visiting. Jim you will be so missed and are so loved. Rest in peace, until we all meet again.

Dear Amy and sweet Chloe, my heart goes out to you both. I´m so glad you've chosen to shine a light on mental illness. My family has a history of mental illness as well, and we´ve lost several people to suicide. Sending prayers, love and light your way.

Jim was married to my cousin Amy. After their marriage, he helped care for my husband Tracy. We loved and appreciated him. Godspeed Jim.

May Jim´s love and memory comfort you.

We were Knolls neighbors with the Donohues. I have great memories when I joined Jim and Amy's neighborhood baseball team "Belles & Ballers". It was evident that Jim was kind and had a big heart and absolutely adored his daughter Chloe. My prayers go out to his family. Rest in eternal peace Jim.

The Anzures family remembers Jim with fondness, as he was the friend and neighbor in Frisco that always had a smile. We are so sad of his passing, our hearts break for Amy and Chloe. Thank you for sharing his story and keeping mental illness at the forefront, it's so important. We will continue to pray for strength and healing as you move forward.

James was a kind, compassionate person. He worked hard and never met a stranger.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I worked with Jim many years ago. He was such a fun-loving, helpful coworker. I truly enjoyed working with him. It makes me so sad to hear this. May God Bless your family with some sense of comfort and peace while trying to cope with this.

My condolences to the family. Will be praying for the whole family. I remember when you were younger and we would all play together at family reunions. And swam at Pitsticks at the Donahue, Donohue, and Donohoe reunions. Those days we can't get back. Jimmy you will be greatly missed. Rest in peace cousin.
