So heartbroken for the family. Jim was an amazing human. We spent alot of time together in our high school and college days. He got me into surfing and on a couple of occasion gave me his surfing equipment at a time when we were both broke and in college. One time someone stole the boots and gloves he loaned me…he just said “ah well”. That was Jim, he wasn’t going to stress it, just move on to the next wave. Such a great spirit!

My last memory of Jim was from just a few weeks ago. He sat on my couch and prayed with me and my family over our future… prayed we would get clarity from the Lord on our future. When he left the last thing he said to my little sister was “try not to take life so seriously”… I love that about Jim- he could climb into your pain and sit with you and then make you laugh 5 minutes later. There will always be a Jim sized hole in our life. Words won’t ever be enough to describe the love and the loss.
