So sorry to hear of Jim's passing He was a very special guy with an amazing voice and kindness He was a year ahead of me in school at Smithville Peggy Matthys

Jim was a good friend to me for 50 years and most everyone who knew him would probably say something similar. Having a wide variety of interests and hobbies and knowledgeable in a lot of areas he had a great memory for details in all of them. Jim was always entertaining whether singing and playing guitar, telling stories or just having a conversation. He was one of those people you want to hang around with and learn from and I will miss him more than I can imagine.

So sorry for your loss, he was a great friend always had a smile for everyone.

Rest in Peace, Jim.

We're very sorry to learn of Jim's death. We remember him well from high school and after. He was always friendly and pleased to see us. Our condolences to his family. Greg & Kathy Atkins

We will have forever fond memories of Jim. We all rode so many miles together through some beautiful places. You will be forever missed at our family gatherings with all the stories you would share with laughter. Thanks for all the love and memories.

So sorry to hear of Jim's passing. He will be missed by everyone who ever knew him.

Jimmy was a good friend and had a great sense of humor. Loved his music. Our love to his family. May he Rest In Peace. ❤️

To a great man who was loved by so many. I will miss your smiling face and bear hugs. Ride on, dear friend, on Angel's Wings!! Love you so much!!

Where do I start? Thru out school in the '60's to the 70's I remember helping set up those BIG keg parties with all the bands at Millers bridge & later that summer over at Camden Point. Jamming on guitars. Riding our identical tiger gold and white 1972 Triumph T120 Bonneville's - and Jimmy could ride out a pretty darn good wheelie on his machine, too.. Trucking for FBI hauling a lot of coal & coke and just about anything you could get in a dump trailer. Hang gliding over at a little knob hill just east of Kearney. Flying radio control model airplanes where ever we could find a spot (before there was a present flying field). Swapping the latest jokes. Jimmy & Joyce Crews accompanied by Rick George and his guitar treating Beverly & I by singing at our wedding (believe me --- THAT was SPECIAL!!!) Jimmy was 'kinda like a magnet - he attracted you to him. He was a good man and his loss is a loss for all of us. We miss you Jimmy and may peace always be with you & yours.
