What a wonderful man he was!
I will always remember you Jim. There was never a dull moment, when I pulled up on the scale he always seemed to make me laugh.
HE left an impressionable memory with eveyone he came in contact with. If it was to make someone laugh, or just to get a smile. Even if it was just to listen to someone who needed to cry because he belive in them. I know the impression he left with me will be forever. To his family and closets friends my prayer are with...

In the many years of knowing and working with Jim he became part of our family. It was an honor to be able to call Jim a friend and consider him a mentor. Jim was tireless in his devotion to his family and his work. The untimely death of Jim Ragsdale has caused great sorrow within our hearts. We send our deepest condolences to Anita and the rest of the family.

Jim knew my family through my father, Jose. I may have not known Jim personally but he has been a very special part of my fathers life for 17 years. He was my fathers closet friend and even with his sudden passing he will always be a part of each of us. My deepest sympathy to his family for the loss of a truly wonderful man.

When by brother married Sabrina (Jims's daughter) our two families become one. That feeling intesified with the birth of each of their daughters. I knew Jim as a loving, caring, generous husband, father, and grandfather who will be missed beyond any explanation with words. He would do anything for the people he loved. There will be a huge void now that Jim has passed but he will never be forgotten.

Our Thought are with you and everyone in your family... we love you so much

Mara and James

My heart goes out to Jim's family for your loss. Jim was truly one of a kind. I have worked with him at Schnitzer for 2 years and he was very kind and caring to me during my illness last year. If I can be of any help to his family, please feel free to contact me. May God bless you and yours at this time of sorrow and forever.

It is difficult to tell you how deeply we feel about Jim's untimely death.
What started many years ago as a business relationship between Jim and us at Boeing Reclamation quickly became a lasting friendship.
It was a privilege to have known him so well, and we will never forget his thoughtfulness and kindness. With great sorrow we ask to share your loss and to extend our heartfelt sympathy.
