Dr. James (Jim) Park, age 87, of Lansing, Michigan went home to be with his Savior on Saturday, November 5, 2022. Dr. Park was preceded in death by his son, Jeffrey. He is survived by his loving wife, Nancy, and children Scott (Elizabeth) Park, Sara (Dale) Frye, and Laura (Jeffrey) Johnson, along with eight grandchildren and one great-grandchild.

A visitation for Dr. Park will be held Friday, November 11 from 6:00pm to 8:00pm at Hope Vineyard Church, 119 N. Delaney Rd, Owosso, MI 48867. The memorial/celebration of life will be held on Saturday, November 12, 2022 at 11:00am at Hope Vineyard Church with a lunch following.

Dr. Park, originally from Kansas City, Missouri, moved to Owosso, Michigan after attending Johns Hopkins University and University of Kansas Medical School. In 1956, Dr. Park married the love of his life, Nancy Green. They raised four children together through their 66 years of marriage.

Dr. Park worked in General Practice of Medicine at the Arnold Medical Clinic for 50 years in Owosso. He served as the President of the Shiawassee County Medical Society on three occasions and Chief of Staff of Owosso Memorial Hospital for three terms. He was elected to serve 16 years as a Trustee of the Owosso School Board, 8 of those years as its president. He also served 16 years in the Michigan National Guard.

Jim loved life and enjoyed hunting, fishing and spending time with his family and friends – both in Michigan and Ely, Minnesota. Later in life, he spent his summers fishing off his boat, the “Yo Babe”, in Frankfort, Michigan.

Those who knew Jim know that, more than anything, he loved talking about and sharing his love for Jesus. His favorite Scripture was Romans 1:16-17, 20. In his life, he lived out his motto: “God is first, the other fellow is second, I’m third.”

In lieu of flowers, the family welcomes donations be made in Jim’s honor to Hope Vineyard Church, Owosso; or Samaritas’ Good Samaritan Fund.
