Jim Pressley Obituary
A proud veteran of the U.S. Navy, Jim carried a lifelong passion for all things mechanical, from restoring classic cars to working on speed boats. He owned and operated Corvettes by Pressley for 35 years, where his craftsmanship and love for performance vehicles left a lasting mark. In his earlier years, Jim raced Corvettes at Green Valley Raceway, combining his love for speed and engineering with a competitive spirit that never faded. He was a lifetime member of Cowtown Vettes, where he served on the board and contributed to the Corvette community with dedication and pride. Jim was also an active member of the Jeep Club, where he enjoyed off-road adventures and camaraderie with fellow enthusiasts.
Jim's positive outlook on life and generous spirit made him a source of strength and support to many. He was always ready to lend a helping hand and share a smile.
Jim is survived by his beloved wife, Kellie Pressley; his children, David Pressley, Jennifer Jean, Cassidy MacPhail, and Ashley Christian; nine grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren. Honoring Jim's wishes, no formal funeral service will be held. The family deeply appreciates your kind words, thoughts, and prayers during this time.
All services for Jim will be private.
