Jim ROW Obituary

ROW, Jim

Jim Row, beloved father, husband, grandfather and friend, died in Austin on July 13th surrounded by family and friends from injuries following a boat accident.

Jim was a creative, passionate soul who loved the water, especially sailing and fishing, and a prolific writer and television producer. Jim was a joy to everyone he knew. His charm quickly turned acquaintances to lifelong friends, and his love of adventure meant there was never a dull moment in his presence. He was loved by many and will be dearly missed.

Jim is preceded in death by his father Franklin Row and daughter Rachel Row. He is survived by his mother Ethel Row, sister Carolann Garrity, wife of 40 years Judy G. Row, daughters Tracey Kirk, Laurel Gressett, and Rebecca Row, sons-in-law Gregory Gressett, Christopher Kirk and Bobby Schwalbe, and grandchildren Mia, Olivia, Violet, and Asa.
