Jim was a sweetheart, who loved people. There was no such thing as a stranger to him. Jim truly loved his family. He supported us through a long career as an over the road driver. Whenever he was not working, he made sure to make time for his family.

Visitation with the family will be at Murfreesboro Funeral Home on Sunday, December 15, 2024 from 1pm to 4pm. With a service starting at 4pm.

He brought love and laughter to our lives, and we will carry it on in his memory.
