James "Jim" Sumner

I was saddened to read of Jim's passing this morning. I knew him as Jimmy when we were friends at West Haven Elementary School in Knoxville. While I lost contact with him after that, I was very happy to read of the full and impactful life he lived. My sincere condolences to Jim's family.

Debbie, I am so sorry to hear about Jim's passing. I remember when you two were married. It seems like such a short time ago now. Prayers that the Lord helps you during this difficult time.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.

Deb, words cannot convey my feelings other than my thoughts and prayers are with you now and always. Love, Kara

Debbie, I am so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. He was always a great guy. I remember all of our get togethers after work with a smile. Rest in peace Jim.

Gentle Giant is an apt description. Jim was one of the nicest people I ever met. I had the pleasure of working with him on numerous projects over the last 20 years. He was a fantastic human being. My deepest sympathies.

I am so very sorry to hear this news. I was there when your love story began, but am sorry we've lost touch over the years. Jim was always so nice to me and helped with car decisions. I would stand beside him and he would rest his elbow on top of my head as that was how tall I was standing beside him. My prayers are with you Debbie during what must be a very difficult, heartbreaking time for you.
Love you. Karen
