Rev. James Gerald Virden Jr.

Tina, Sean, Jimmy and family - As time goes on and you try to find a new "normal" in life, I pray that you will continue to feel the love and support of your family and friends. Jim was a wonderful man and will be missed. We are here for you guys if you need us.

On behalf of Pastor Darrell and Candi Vail and the New Season Ministry of Saraland, we will truly miss you, Pastor Jim. Pastor Jim, you were family to us and we would like to say to the Saraland Church of the Nararene, thank you for all that you ever done for our church family. May God continue to bless and strengthen the Virden Family.

See you again my friend! We will all miss you until then. Thank you for dancing at my daughters wedding

On behalf of Trinity Church of the Nazarene, Pastor Sean Virden's Church, we would like to offer our condolences and love to you at this time. May God bless you and comfort you and give you strength, understanding, and peace.

Our condolences on the passing of Rev. Virden, a very kind and dedicated pastor on the Alabama South District Church of the Nazarene. He was a friend to many and a beloved pastor to his congregation. May his memory and spiritual legacy live on through his family.

So sorry to hear about the passing of Jim. I was fortunate to have him as a member of my family, but unfortunate in that he was somewhat a distant relative and I did not know him better than I did. I know he was a wonderfu, gentle soul who always had a smile on his face, the kind of person who just made you feel peaceful and comfortable when you were around him. I know he was a great blessing to his church family. Praying for peace and healing of your heart, Tina, we love you, and for the kids and grankids also. Barbie (Virden) and Charlie Stobaugh and family

I am so sorry for your loss. Jerry was my dad's~James Birge~cousin. I remember him well from my childhood. Praying for comfort and God's peace during this time. In His Love, Sheri Birge Lightfoot

Tina and family, I am deeply sorry for your unexpected loss. Our loss but heavens gain. I am glad we pastored Robertsdale, doing so we were able to meet ya'll. May God comfort you through His Holy Spirit during these difficult times. We Love You, Terry and Gloria

Jim Virden was my good friend. We had many good times and laughs together. Tina and family, I pray God's comfort to be given to you in this time of grief and loss. We are poorer. Heaven is richer. We will meet again in God's wonderful future. Grace and Peace, H. Lamar Smith
