I grew up running in and out of Jim and Cindy Parents' home. He gave me my first job, working along side my best friend...his beautiful daughter Darcy Marie. Jim was an awesome father and loved his wife and kids with all he had.My heart breaks as I never got to see him again after they left California. My deepest sympathy on the passing of a good man...HEAVEN JUST RECEIVED ANOTHER ANGEL <3 R.I.P. Jim

I'm so sad and sorry to hear of Jim's passing. My condolences go to his family. I hadn't seen Jim in a number of years and always enjoyed catching up with the latest news (usually at a family reunion). Rest in Peace, Jim.

My prayers go out to Darcy and her family right now during this time of grief and saying goodbye. Jim was a good man, he was a great man, one of the most respected men I've ever met.

I am so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. I remember him well from when we both served as parole officers in Portland. He was a good officer and a good man.

Dear Parent Family. So sorry for your loss. I worked with Jim for many years in Parole and Probation in Multnomah County. I always admired his professionalism with both his clients and his colleagues. That extended to his work with the court and the police/sheriff. He didn't ask for pity or complain about his medical issues, which we all knew about and supported him when and where we could. He maintained a great sense of humor.
