Jimmy was always a source of knowledge, wisdom, and humor.  I could always count on jim’s support on any endeavor. My thoughts and prayers are with him family. 

I was introduced to Jimmy when l met and married my husband Ron.  That was 27 years ago and l will always remember the day when Jimmy told me l wasn’t just a friend, l was part of the “familia.”  That l have always cherished and considered an honor. I remember countless times of laughter, usually at my husbands expense, with the jokes and pranks this wonderful man played on those people he clearly loved and considered family.  He has truly left impressions  on so many hearts. 
As others have said before me, his smile, loyalty and devotion to friends and family are the things that will keep his memory alive here on earth. 
My heart goes out to Barb and the family and l pray they find comfort in the difficult days ahead. 
 Jimmy was one in a million and l was blessed to have known him.  May angels lead you in dear friend.

Our deepest condolences and love to Jimmy’s wife, Barbara and his children. We so admired his devotion to family, friends and most importantly, God.
What a glorious reunion in heaven with his parents, sisters, and brother!
Until we meet again dear cousin.
Sincerely,
Rachael and Steve Nickle

I remember Jim from my high school years, he was a senior and I a freshmen. RIP Jim (Frog, as he was known in HS)

When I came to Globe in 1999 as a Supervisor Jim was the district manager and soon became my mentor as well as a good friend. 
Jimmy's urgency for everything he did always led to good humor. 
R.I.P. my friend.
My heartfelt prayers go to Barb and Jim's family.

     Had the privilege to work with Jimmy off and on over 30 years, starting in Flagstaff and ending up back where it all started. I always enjoyed his upbeat attitude and all of the banter back and forth. Great sense of humor and ornery. He was a blast to work with.  
     He left a large footprint on APS's history and will be sorely missed. 
     May God bless your family and give them peace.

My deepest sympathy to Barbara and the extended Valenzuela family. Jimmy was a true friend and would do anything for someone in need. His sense of humor and the smiles he left behind will be sorely missed. Go with God my friend. 

I remember Jim from his days in Yuma and in Globe. He was always a promoter of APS and focused on customer service and so very friendly.  So glad also that Ron Trafzer is one of the poll bearers. He and Jim were close and I know that Jim has gained his stars in heaven with his heavenly father.  
This is from Alan Johnson in transportation maintenance  who knew Jim as a guy who was always had the time to talk to me and share stories. 

Jim and I have been friends for 45 years. We were apprentices together, coached Pop Warner for many years and worked together. He was a good friend and a good man. Rest in Peace my brother. God bless the family.

RIP Jimmy.  You made the world a better place.


I knew Jimmy for many years. From our Pop Warner years to my retirement from APS in Yuma.
My sincerest condolences to Barbara and family. 

Much Aloha,  Moe i ka maluhia, Brudda  ( rest in peace)   The Huddy Family

My thoughts and prayers are with Jimmy's family. 

I worked with Jimmy for many years at APS. I loved his passion for helping others, his sense of right and wrong, his laughter and sense of humor, his ability to listen without judging, his ability to make wrong things right and his love for life. I'm going to miss him.

May his soul rest in peace, his memory a blessing.

Let us not so much mourn nor grieve for this man that died,
but rather rejoice and thank God that such a great man ever lived.

Deepest sympathies to Barb and the rest of the Valenzuela family.  Jimmy enriched the lives of so many, and he'll be missed but never forgotten.  Thanks for sharing Jim with us and may he rest in peace.    

My sincere condolences to Jimmy's family.  I worked with Jimmy for many years. He was always a great person and very supportive to those who worked for him and with him.  He will be greatly missed.
