Missing you, Jim. I find it hard to believe it has been 5 years. You still have a major impact on the way I choose to live my life and mentor and give back to others.

Jim was my first mentor who encouraged me to be a brave girl in 2015. His love was unconditional. Thank you, Jim. I hope we can meet again in heaven.

Jim Friedberg was a big part of our UT Dallas community. His advice and support has transformed the lives of many of our students. It is an honor to consider him a friend and mentor. He was such an encourager to me personally and instrumental in challenging me to look outside of the traditional ways to mentor people and approach life.

Jim Friedberg was a tremendous advocate for UT Dallas students and tirelessly devoted his time and energy to advance their professional development. His genuine friendship and advice was invaluable to the students and myself. Jim will be sorely missed.

My deepest sympathy to his wife and family.
