Not sure what to say?

They say one song can bring back a 1000 memories. Boy did we have lots of memories. Think of you every day Big Jim. In case you're getting your messages up there, I miss my best friend.

Big Brother James, your missed by many including your Big Brother Chance, you were always an inspiration and touched many lives with your big smile warm hand shake and kind words to all.

Best of luck to you in growing up, just know many miss your father LIKE you. God Bless Maddy, you will see your daddy again.

I knew Jim from working together at MCI for a few months and we kept in contact over the years. I lost contact about a year and a half ago and couldn't track him down. I now know why. It gave me great pain to hear the sad news about Jim. I don't know what happened, but I am heart broken. I honestly didn't know a man with a more sincere heart and concern for his fellow brother than Jim. He spoke of Maddy often and it was obvious she was the light of his life. He also spoke of Deb all...

Madison-

I always felt lucky to grow up next door to your Daddy. The best memories I have of your dad is at the annual ward boating trip at Flaming Gorge. I was about your age and he was in High school but he made me feel like one-of-the-guys even though I was about 6 years younger, 3 feet shorter and 200 pounds lighter than him. To Jim, that didn't matter.

The thing I treasure most about your dad is that he always made me feel like I was important to him. That meant...

Jimmy,
i just wanted to let you know what an impact you have had on my life. You were always there to listen and give advise when i needed it the most. I will miss the long talks and lunches we had together. I'll never forget the phones calls at work when you would pretend to be someone else, you always made me laugh and smile and i thank you for that. Jimmy I will always remember you and i hope you knew how much i cared for you. I feel very lucky to have known you, you were a great...

Maddy:

Your Dad was a very kind person. He and his brothers would always involve me though I was several years younger. I have fond memories of him inviting me to hang out with him at Flaming Gorge.

One day someone stole my bike (I grew up next door to your Dad). I told your Dad and he helped us search until my bike was found. I will never forget that. He cared deeply for others.

Regards,

Steve and I only knew Jim for a few years, but he made a great impression on us. The way he listened and truly cared about people was a wonderful thing. We loved him for himself, but also because he loved and took care of
"Our Deb." We were looking forward to a lot of years ahead to spend with them.
Our love and prayers go to Debbie, Maddie and all of his famuly.
Cathy and Steve Wyngarden

I feel fortunate to be one of the many friends to this wonderful man. I had the opportunity to see Jim at his best, as a proud father to a beautiful daughter. Jimmy, thank you for being a part of my family's memories. Tommy, Diane, Alie, Jessie, and Jonathan.

Jim,
For the small amount of time I was able to know you, I will always remember what an influence you were to the people around you. Always looking for a way to bring people up in thier spirits, and making them feel noticed. It is rare to meet someone who touches so many different people and each in thier own way. To be so inspiring to so many people, not by doing something outstanding but by just simply being yourself. You are truly a person who will always be thought of highly,...
