Our deepest condolences to Donna, her family, and the Ferrell extended families in this time of sorrow. I knew Jim at FedEx for many years. I remember when he had his house built with his music studio. There were many memories made working with and for Jim over the 28 years I worked for FedEx.

Donna, Brandon, Jamie, Logan, and Kyle, Debbie and I are so sorry for your loss. We have known all of you long enough to consider you as extended members of our own family. We will never forget the hospitality of the Ferrell household every time we would visit. I always looked forward to bringing my guitar and playing while Donna, Jim, Debbie and I would sing praises to the Lord. Each time the Lord would give me new songs, I couldn't wait to share them with Donna and watch Jim smiling as she gave new life to the songs with her God-given voice. Each Sunday I looked forward to the hugs from Jamie, and the jumping into my arms from Kyle for a big hug (couldn't do that today...I would be taken out on a stretcher). Jim may have been the kindest male friend I've ever had and his love for the Lord could not be hidden, it just had a natural flow, and his countenance spoke volumes about his faith. The love of the entire Ferrell family stands out as a reflection of Jim and he will be missed in many ways. We love you all and will be praying for the Lord to console you and help you navigate the loss of Jim, who I consider to be an icon at Ellendale Baptist Church and a man I respected and loved. God bless you all!!

Jim so loved his LORD, his family, and mission works for Jesus. After we videoed in 2017 and 2018 at Ellendale Baptist Church, he, Donna, and I instinctively walked out of the church singing the hymn, "Where He Leads Me I will Follow."

I wanted to say so many precious memories! When he and I would talk about dear Donna, I was so touched that he always said, "my lovely wife". I appreciate the videos that he uploaded to my youtube channel. He will be missed so much until we all are raptured to third heaven.

I worked for Jim many years at FedEx and he was one of the finest guys I ever worked for. He always had his guys back, no matter what. He coached my kids in little league in the mid 90s and I coached Kyle one year. He was a man of faith and great character and one of the coolest things about him was he lived his faith, he didn't preach unless you asked and he never belittled you about your faith (or lack of it) even if he disagreed. He walked the walk, as Jesus would have. I'll miss him greatly and am damn glad to have known him. Much love tonhis family.
