James Garren

James Charles Garren was born to Ray and Margaret (Meyers) Garren on June 26, 1928. He entered Heaven’s gates on December 18, 2016.

Jim was a lifetime resident of Des Moines. He was a trucker and worked in the tree trimming industry. Jim lived a very simple life but he had a heart that was bigger than life. He spread his kindness by giving stuffed animals to children and families at his favorite restaurant, The Village Inn, which he frequented often. Jim enjoyed bead work. He made countless bracelets and necklaces and decorated wooden crosses and gave them to those around him. He also loved going to garage sales, spending time with his friend, Mary Jo Killin, and visiting his friends at The Rose and Walden Point. He also appreciated the help and friendship of George Aquiuiga and Matty Smith.

Jim was preceded in death by his parents and his brother Floyd (Bob) Garren.

Although there will not be service to celebrate Jim’s life, please spend time reflecting on his gentleness and kindness. Jim was one of God’s angels on Earth.
