James G. Schryver, Jr.
July 17, 2010
James G. Schryver, Jr. was a godly man much admired by both family and friends. His last several years were spent pouring his life into his work for Crown Financial Ministries. His passion was teaching others the importance of stewardship and helping couples become debt free.
Jim’s recreation time was spent working many hours each week at the “farm”. Along with his family, he spent years planting and maintaining over 50 fruit trees in their orchard. He took pride in making our family’s acreage the beautiful, peaceful place he lovingly referred to as “The Master’s Ranch”.
Jim’s relationship and devotion to God was an example that will forever be remembered by those that knew him. His life mission was about preparing for eternity, and encouraging those around him to examine their own lives. He was excited to meet Jesus and spend eternity worshipping our Savior. He was ready!
Jim is survived by his wife, Crystal, and children, Shelly Justice, Cari Jacobsen, Josh Schryver, and Sara Schryver. He loved his son-in-laws, Derek Justice and David Jacobsen, as his own children. He was admired by and had a special bond with his grandchild, Clark Justice. Jim is also survived by his brother, Jeff Schryver and his wife, Pat; sister Ann Roberts and her husband, Steve. Jim was preceded in death by his parents, James G. Schryver and Helen Jean Schryver.

Crystal,
I just ran into Bobby Wolfe and heard about Jim. I was shocked to say the
least. It was about a year and a half ago I ran into him at the Windsor Heights HyVee. I think we talked for half an hour, and he seemed so happy and excited about what he was doing in life.
I just wanted to give you my condolences and pass along my prayers.
Give my thoughts to Shelly also. I ran into her voting in the primary elections in Waukee in '08. She lives about 30 seconds from me, I can almost see her house from my townhome.
I wish all the best.

Crystal, Thank you for sharing Jim with his Crosstrainer brothers on Wednesday mornings. His light to our group will continue to shine in the men he impacted. Jim openly shared love and life with us that he so gratefully received from Christ and the gift of family in which he charished. I am a better man through the time that Jim invested in me at Crosstrainers. Our prayers are with you and your family as you celebrate Jim.

Crystal,
We both very shocked to hear of Jim's passing through the valley of the shadow of death. The writeup we saw is so true. Jim will be missed and always remembered for his nurturing ways, love and support for friends.
Bryant called to tell us when he saw something on the facebook. Jim always was very special to Bryant.
Please know that you all will be in our prayers.
We love you each,
Alan and MaryAnne

Jim I will miss your smiling face and wide wave from on top of your tractor. You were a great neighbor and always willing to give a hand with anyone in need of help.
To the family, remember the good times. They will help you get through this difficult time.
Please let Jeff and I know if we can help in any way. We are just a phone call away.
