When Jim was nine years old, James G. (Jerry) Barber entered his family's life and became a loving stepfather. He is survived by his beloved children, Emily Nicole Kinnally and Jonathan Lloyd Kinnally who meant the world to him and their mother Rhonda (Taylor) Kinnally. He is also survived by his Mother, D. Sue Barber of Cave Creek, Arizona; his Stepfather, Jerry Barber of Hermosa Beach, CA; his Brother, John A Kinnally of Scottsdale, AZ; his sisters, Jayne E. (Kim) Scott of Bozeman, MT, Susan G.

He was a member of St. Joseph Catholic Church in Fayetteville, AR and the Knights of Columbus, and an alum of the University of Arkansas and the University of Arizona. He also volunteered with the M & N Augustine Foundation and Pagnozzi Charities. Beyond his generous spirit, big heart, and smiling eyes, Jim was known for his sense of humor. To the end he found a way to make each of us laugh when it seemed we could only cry. He will be greatly missed by so many people who he touched throughout his all-too-brief life. Jim is smiling at us even now, just out of reach, but he will always be with us in our hearts. Visitation will be held Wednesday January 26th from 5:00 PM until 7:00 PM at Moore's Chapel with a Rosary to begin at 7:00 PM.

Jim was my next-door neighbor for many years and a good friend through high school. We had so many laughs. I will always love and remember him as the wonderful person that he was. My sincere condolences go out to his wife and kids and the many friends and loved ones he touched in his life. Rest in peace my dear friend. You will be so very missed.

Jim was my dearest friend from high school and we remained friends all these years. He always made me laugh. He was a great father and a dear sweet soul. Words can not express what a profound loss I feel. He took part of my heart with him. To his wonderful family....I am so sorry you have lost him for now, but we will all be together again one day.
