In 1981, he met Jackie in Payson Arizona shortly after they wed in 1982, going on to have one child, Jennifer Lee Flynn in March of 84.
Jim (Adrian) was known to be very opinionated by his friends and family in which they loved that about him. He was the type of man who would stop what he was doing and help anyone in need. He would help with repairing anything that was needed and if he didn’t know how to he was eager to find the knowledge to learn.
Jim was also passionate about ham radio, reading and history. He loved building radios and took a high interest in weather technology. In the early 90’s he drove school bus which became one of his favorite jobs. The end of the 90’s he was truck driving in construction which called for long hours.
Family meant a great deal to him, he is beloved by many and will be greatly missed.
There will be a celebration of life on March 18th 2022 at Rumsey Park 400 N McLane Road Payson Arizona. All is welcomed.
