James Brisbin Obituary
CUYAHOGA FALLS -- James R. Brisbin, 78, died unexpectedly March 25, 2014 and now is in the presence of his Lord and Savior. Born July 2, 1935 in West Union, West Virginia, he was a member of Graham Road Baptist Church for 66 years and attended United Disability Services for 30 years.

Jimmy had an infectious energy that brought joy to all he met and he was truly an inspiration to anyone who crossed his path.
A precious servant of the Lord, a fan of the Cleveland Indians and a lover of the American flag and Coca-Cola, he was truly an All-American guy.
The family would like to thank the staff at Traditions for their loving care and kindness over the past 8 years.

My condolences to all of the lucky people who had the opportunity to know and be blessed by his presence. I worked at Traditions for almost six years and I enjoyed seeing him every day. I could write a chapter. We can all learn a lesson from him " Be grateful for waking up in the morning and knowing your still in the game with God no matter what hand your dealt" R.I.P. Jim you deserve those wings!

To my precious cousin, who always had a big hug when we visited from Montgomery, Al. You were such a joy to your entire family and inspiration to all. I know there is a special angel in the arms of Jesus now. We love you.

I have known Jim for the last 15 years. When I started working for UDS we lost one of our individuals. Jim told me that he had known this person for years. He missed him but was not sad because he wasn't disabled anymore. Jim was a good friend to many people and will be missed greatly. He loved joking with the staff and was a bright spot in our day.

Paul & I remember Jimmy very lovingly from when we went to Graham Road Baptist Church. He was such a great guy and truly loved the Lord. I remember he would come down to the fence and watch my son, Sean's, baseball games when he was little. We always took him to the New Years Eve parties at the church. Paul & he would pull each others arm hair in church and start to laugh. So many good memories. We will truly miss him but I know we will see him again in heaven. God bless Jimmy and his family during this difficult time.
