To his children and grandchildren, he was a guiding light, a dependable presence, and a source of unconditional love. Whether it was offering a ride across town, helping with a home project, or simply being there to listen, Jim lived his life in service to others with humility and grace.

A long-time member of the Valparaiso community, Jim was known for his generosity and kind spirit. He believed deeply in the value of helping others, often volunteering his time and energy to those who needed it most.

For many, he was a familiar face and a reliable friend—someone you could always count on.

His tragic passing has left family and friends grappling with an immense loss. The unexpected nature of his departure makes the pain all the more difficult to bear, but in the midst of their grief, Jim’s loved ones are coming together to celebrate the life of a truly remarkable man. A memorial service is being planned to honor Jim’s legacy, and the family is reaching out for community support as they navigate the emotional and financial challenges that come with such a sudden loss.
