There are no words to truly express the loss we are all feeling. Jim Yeager was the best preacher teacher ever. He didn't just study the bible he studied history, read articles and artifacts and was very wise in the knowledge of the Bible and God. Jim we love you and we know you can breath now and are walking the streets of gold seeing all the colors you couldn't see here. Michelle and family prayers for comfort for all even our WOW church family. I love all yall. WOW STRONG!

By the way, I have known Jim since we met at the small building down the street. I think that would be around 12 years.

Jim you are going to be missed! You were a great teacher, friend, and touched some of those that were nearly untouchable. You were a huge part of the Ardmore community and loved by most.
I have a funny memory with Jim. I remember coming to church to get the coffee started and Jim met me in the parking lot. He looked at me and said, "Did you know that your shirt is on backwards?" I said,"No!" He looked again and said, "Well I guess a person could wear it that way too." I said, "Ok, Jim don't tell anyone about this!" We were laughing and just enjoying the moment. Jim told everyone about my shirt!! lol
You were a good man and I will miss you lots.
I love you Jim

I have known Jim and Michelle for over 10 years. God sent me to his church and I had no knowledge of it before that time. Jim was a blessing to me and he really represented what true christians should be, accepting for all people regardless of history. In todays world it is truly rare! I know him and Michelle have sent up many many prayers for me and my family. I learned alot about the bible with a unique interpretation of it due to Jim. He preformed my son´s funeral service and it was a blessing to me! I will never forget the lessons he taught me. Really he helped me to become a better person. I will carry his memory always! Michelle if you need any thing text me! I am there! Peace to you and your family in this time!! Love you guys always!

Jim and I became very close over the past year or two. He inspired me. The way he loved the Lord and his knowledge of the Word of God was rock solid. His love for Michelle was true and deep. He admired her and every time we were together he told me how much he loved her appreciated her.
We talk about his love for his mom and his children. He had a special place for all of you in his heart. We talked about the church and how much he loved the people. Jim never said one negative thing about anyone. I will miss Jim but I thank God Jim was in my life. Thanks to Michelle and the family for sharing him with me. I am a better man because of Jim Yeager.

Jim and I shared the honor as an interpreting team for Deaf and Hard of Hearing visitors to WOW Church. I got the biggest kick surprising him with his own voice. He couldn't believe I just interpreted to him. That's common but I took extra joy doing this to Jim. He'd say "Did you just interpret me?"
I look forward to a time when I can surprise him again. I'm sorry I didn't see you before you passed. Much love Jim and the whole family.
