James Paauwe

Happy heavenly birthday my dear friend. You are missed.

Jim was a dear friend. We dated in high school, but remained friends as we got older and I moved away. The two years prior to Jim´s death, we texted often and I listened and supported him as a friend. I miss Jim´s humor and caring nature. He deeply loved his boys - they were a bright light in his life and he spoke highly of them. He grieved at the loss of his dad, and he struggled - but his sister´s support really comforted him during that time. I think of Jim nearly every day. I remember...

Dear Kathi Lynch, We are so very sorry to hear about Jim. You have lost so many family members in such a short time! We are sending you our love! I know that your Dad had concerns about Jim. Sending you hugs. May God surround you with his comfort and grace. Phil and Jan Quist

Man. Sad. I went to school with jim. The nicest guy and had natural talent. like roger said was good with a wrench, and Like mark said His curve ball moved 2 foot and He could hit even better. Like mike said u knew jim was genuine when u talked to him. He changed my life when he sold me his camaro. To this day i live life as a that same gearhead. I think about him often and always will.

Jim was my best friend starting back in Rocket football at Fuller Park. We went to high school together, played baseball together, and spent many days and nights together (usually working on his cool cars!). We lived a bicycle ride away from each other and were together a lot. After high school we remained pretty close. Jims death is extremely sad news to me as I hadnt seen him in about a year or so. Ive lost one of the closest friends Ive ever had. Rest In Peace Jim. I will never forget you...

Thought I would share some of our family memories with Jim
