So very sorry for your loss.
I saw in the "Trinity Leader" magazine where Jimmy's name was listed. I called Keith to see if he knew about it and he was surprised also. I'm just so sorry.

I knew Jim as my boss when working at PetSmart 2009 to 2015. He was a good leader and was respected by those that worked for him. We had a good relationship that extended out of the office and onto the golf course and other sporting activities. He often talked about visiting me here on the water, but never did.
Although I had not seen him in several years due to my moving to FL, i was quite saddened to learn of his passing.
I pray his family can find peace and closer with the loss of his life at such a young age. God bless you Jim!
