A 1984 graduate of Hall High School, Jim was a star football player and a student of German. He attended Arkansas Tech University and University of Arkansas of Little Rock with a major in history. As a UPS Supervisor for 30 years, Jim truly enjoyed his work and the people he met through it.

Jim was an avid sports fan especially of the Razorbacks, along with St. Louis Cardinals baseball and the Dallas Cowboys. He loved and cared for his dogs immensely and was passionate about his wild birds that he doted over, diligently being sure they were fed and watered. He will be remembered for his kind heart, quick wit, hearty laugh and, of course, his love for animals.
