I only knew James for a short while, but he touched my life. He was a genuinely good man and I was blessed to have him as a friend.

To Victoria, Peggy, Patricia, and James Jr.
The 23rd Psalms provides us all comfort in times like these:
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. 3 He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His names sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the LORD Forever. Amen.
Respectfully submitted,
Pastor Ike Brown and the Our Saviours Baptist Church Family.

For many years we traveled from Davenport to Des Moines to do late nite inventories at the Shed. Jimmy was always there with a smile and a fresh piece of pie. What a great guy and what a loss.
You chose a wonderful picture of Jimmy. It's just the way we will always remember him.
I can only imagine the hole this has left in your hearts. Our thoughts and prayers are there to support you.
