Publish in a newspaper
Born on August 22, 1953, Jim graduated from Excelsior Springs High School in 1971. He married the love of his life, Pam, in 1980, and together they built a warm and loving home. Jim was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather who worked hard to support his family, retiring from a long and dedicated career at Ford Motor Company.
Jim is survived by his wife Pam; his son Jonathon, wife Jen, and their two daughters; his daughter Shannon with her daughter; and his two sisters, Sharon Carder-Jackson and Shirley Crowley with their families.
Jim's three cherished granddaughters brought him great joy. He was a proud and supportive Papa T, faithfully attending their events and cheering them on at every opportunity.
Known for his kindness and loyalty, Jim maintained lifelong friendships and had a genuine warmth that touched many. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

My deepest sympathy for the entire family. Jim was a great friend & a better person. I first met Jim on a baseball field when we were young kids. We went to school together & enjoyed a good friendship. Jim, was always kind, and always, had a smile on his face. And we all, could use more kindness in this world. My thoughts and prayers go out to Jim´s entire family.
With prayers for all, Rick woods
