James May

Doc Jim was the most empathetic and encouraging man. He counseled me thru many ups and downs. I would suffice it to say since 1990, the last 34 years of his life, he guided me through some of the most pivotal points in my life. His wisdom, empathy and guidance helped me become the person I am today. Heaven rejoiced at his arrival. I´m deeply sorry for the loss his entire family no doubt has gone through. Especially his bride, as he very lovingly referred to as Bitsy. The void of his presence...

I´m just now (5/2) finding out about his passing. I was a patient of his for many years, and I loved him very much. He helped me through some of the most difficult times of my life. My deepest condolences to the May family.

I am Patricia Wahls, Pontiac, Illinois. I am Jim's first- cousin. My mother and Jim's mother were sisters. Jim was one year older than me. I just found out this morning that Jim had died. I loved Jim very much. He and I were close as children as we were only about a year apart in age. My family traveled to Texas every other year to see Dado and the rest of the family. I have not stopped crying this morning. I wish I had known about Jim's death. Had known ahead of time, I would have...

Dr. May was so kind, insightful, helpful and funny! A friend and I used to say, MAYDAY,MAYDAY, MAYDAY! because he always helped us and others through our crises, emergency, chaos, and helped us see things more clearly, helped us make better decisions and/or at least see the light of day. Since he was a big fan of Star Trek, I will close with what Spock said to Captain Kirk - "you have been and always will be my friend" -I know Heaven is rejoicing!

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. Jim was such a kind hearted, funny, smart, insightful man! He made a huge difference in my life and was always available to listen and advise. I was grateful for his guidance and friendship and love. He made you feel so loved and valued! I have enjoyed reading all the tributes to him here and hope to see and read many more. Lori Scott

If there was ever a more generous man I did not meet him. Jim was a life saver to many and a great vision of Jesus with skin on. His wisdom and wit was an added bonus. A lot of us know well the cancer battle. I will hold his dear family in prayer as they navigate the times to come. Debi Hughes

How sad I am to read about Jim May's death. I held him and his family in high regard, with much appreciation as well. susie mauldin

Dr. May was my family´s counselor/friend for 25+ years. He was truly an angel on earth with his kind, gentle words helping us traverse life´s ups and downs. As my 17 yr old daughter said, no matter how bad things seemed, he always found something positive or uplifting to say, to help encourage you to keep going and trying. And, he always did so without minimizing what you were going through or being pushy with his advice. After getting to talk to him, you never felt bad about yourself. ...

A man full of love and grace! A true example of being a Christian - he loved all and helped so many navigate through tough times in their lives. I am blessed to have experienced his friendship if only for a short time. Rest, good and faithful servant.
