James "Jim" Neil Kipfer, 38 years old, from Woodridge, IL passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, September 14th, 2024. Jim is the beloved son of James and Munja, loving brother of Holly (Joe) Paganoni and Laura (Christian) Pabalate. Cherished nephew of the late Barbara (Tom) Ehlers, the late Richard Kipfer, the late Sey-Yoon Ghim, the late Jeon-Goo Kim, Stephen Kipfer, Haija Smith. Jim was the devoted Uncle to Parker Pabalate and the dedicated Godfather to Ella Kurinec. He was the fond cousin and friend of so many.
Jim loved his friends and family dearly. He was the brightest person in the room. He loved helping others, riding his motorcycle, and was always learning and striving for knowledge. Jim was the first to offer help and asked for nothing in return. He touched the lives and hearts of all that knew him and was loved by all animals, especially Kiki. Jim was a good, kindhearted person that was too good for this world.

I am utterly heartbroken. Jim, you´re such an amazing person. You were always there for me, and I can´t imagine you not being there anymore-I just can´t, you were always suppose to be in my life. Love you Jim, and I hope you´re with Ringo now- he loved you so much.
