James Workman Obituary
Jimmy was a hard worker throughout his life and retired from Prairie Farms Dairy in 2011. He enjoyed Country Western Movies and watching NASCAR. Most of all he enjoyed spending time with family and friends.
He is survived by his children, Robert (Desiree) Workman and Brandon Workman and their mother, Kathy Workman; five grandchildren, Joy, Lincoln, Olivia, Couper and Lotus; three brothers, Denny (Jani), Gary (Shawn) and Richard and many nieces, nephews and cousins. He was preceded in death by his parents, and a brother, Mark.
The family would like to thank the nurses, Kristi and Genises, who gave him great care.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date.

JD was the best friend I ever had. I lived with him for the last 6 months of his life and he was my best friend for 6 years. Ever since we started hanging out he would always be so honest and kind to me. His sons told me he wasn´t nice during their childhood but I didn´t see that side of him until he was in so much pain he couldn´t function. He was always there whenever I needed someone to talk to. He meant the world to me. I´m really gonna miss the man. The picture is of the railing I made for the stairs whenever he first had trouble walking. He was so proud of it and happy about having it. That railing saved him from falling down the stairs on multiple occasions. I hope I get invited to the celebration of life ceremony whenever it happens. It would mean the world to me. I love you JD. I know you´re smiling up there. See ya soon.
