How you can help

Donations are welcome in order to help ease the burden of funeral expenses, and helping his boys through this difficult time with any expenses that arise. Jim was the main family provider and now that he he is no longer with us his oldest son who has just turned 18 will need help to ease the financial burden while he navigates being an adult and dealing with his father's passing as well as help with expenses for his younger son Ethan. Any help for his sons is greatly appreciated while going through this difficult time. Contribute   Right arrow

Saturday, July 26th, 2025 at 9am. We will be holding a casual, celebration of life ceremony at Busch Wildlife, 2360 Highway D, Saint Charles, MO 63304. There will be a more or less traditional service held at Lake 20, followed by a reception with some food provided at the pavilion near the entrance at the visitors center. We invite friends (old and new), family, and co-workers of Jim to join with us to celebrate the man we came to know and love, and bid him farewell. Lake 20 was a beloved place to him, his father, and two sons, and as such, the family felt it the most fitting place to remember him. We would love to see you all, and share stories. We're sure you've got at least one.
