My wife and I met Jim about 22 years ago when he got our name some how. He came to our house in Arlington to go over the four spiritual laws with us. We were newly weds and only beginning to get back into the church. Untill recently I had not set foot in a church since I graduated from high school 9 years earlier. He played an intergral part in helping us to realize what Christ did on the cross for me.
Since that time we have grown in our faith. We moved to Switzerland, FL in 1990 and joined Switzerland Community Church. Over time becomming a deacon, the treasurer and now an elder there. I leave on my third missionary trip to Russia in September.
My wife Michele and children Carly and Scotty have enjoyed a better life in part due to the faithful work of James Wilburn. God used him in mighty ways you will not know of on this side of heaven.

To Wandeana and Family,
I was surprised to hear of Jim's death. How he will be missed. He served in many quite ways. I could ask him about the Bible and he had a answer. What a great man of Faith!. Jim will be missed. A life worth knowing. Well done good and faithful servant. And we all will rejoice when we likewise see him in Heaven. Wandeana - may your memories of the many years of marriage help you through this difficult time. Remembering with both tears and joy.

Jim was one of the first people to greet me and make me feel welcome at Jackson when I first started teaching. A good and kind man, he will be sorely missed! God bless & keep his family.

I shall never forget Jim "Garcia" and how good he was to me as a younger teammate on our college football team. It is a blessing to know he has spent his life telling others about Jesus. What a legacy! May God bless and comfort you (his family) now and in the future. We will keep you in our prayers.

Wandeana, Courtney and family,
So sorry for us, so happy for Jim to be in Heaven with Jesus. We are praying for you all as you mourn. He was an extra-special man and I know he will be missed! I always enjoyed talking to him at the pharmacy and he was a great teacher to Christina and so many others at BTHS! Know we are praying for you all.
love

I worked with Jim at Jackson High School. He was very helpful to me when I first got there. I won't forget what a nice guy he was. Jim spoke so very well of his family, you will all be in my prayers.

It has been many years since I saw Jim and Wandeana but I so remember when the Lord led them to join the Here's Life Jacksonville team and I helped with the moving in and getting settled arrangements. Jim was a fun person with a heart after God which made him a blessing to us all. I am grateful to have known him.

We are sorry for your loss. Jim was a true gentleman and a genius. He had a deep understanding of the Bible and scripture. Jim and Wandeana raised Todd to be understanding and loving to his family. Jim was a joy to know and a wonderful father-in-law to our daughter, Toby. He will be missed. You are all in our prayers.

I will miss seeing him at CFC folding bulletins, preparing for church , also knowing that his deep understanding of scripture and seeing his faithful participation in kingdom building will be truly missed.. Farewell Jim , see you again one day soon !
