James Steven Lucas

I worked across the street and brought my cars to Advanced Automotive for 23 years. I watched Jim grow up to work and then manage the family auto repair shop. I came to trust him to make sure my cars were safe, not just for me but my daughter, as well. His reassuring smile will be missed. My deepest condolences to his family and friends.

I hadn´t seen Jim in years, but he was always just one of those people you always thought of warmly. He was smart but modest, funny and fun but dry. Back in the days of the Applewood Social he was inviting and open. Just the oddest quiet charisma. I had respect for Jim as one of the rare people I can honestly say I have never had a bad thought about. He seemed to always show his true self. The world lost a quality human at the worst possible time. I don´t pray but Ill make an...

When I think of Jim, I think giant smile and great music. Jim was the first person I had ever heard play Hey Ya acoustic. The jam sessions in the basement of rose ave & all that apple wood smoked deliciousness. I can´t believe this is real life. My heart goes out to Ali & baby. Im sure I am not the only one to be thankful for the time they got with Jim.

Jim could always put a smile on your face no matter what. I will cherish the memories of playing music with him and cracking jokes late into the night. My condolences to his wife and family, he was a great man.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
