James Joseph Eskew, age 64, of Independence passed away suddenly on Wednesday night, August 19th. Jim was a great father, an amazing Papa, loving husband, and everyone’s favorite friend. If anyone had the chance to meet this man, they instantly learned about how incredible of a storyteller he was; as well as how horrible his “dad jokes” were. Jim was one of the kindest individuals who could always see the best in people when others couldn’t. Jim made the strongest of friendships with everyone he could from his high school days at St. Mary’s, to the friendly faces at all the breakfast restaurants. With as big as a personality as his, it is impossible to know how many lives he touched throughout the years. His family meant the world to him and were all with him in his final hours. He is survived by his wife of 41 years Cheryl Marie Eskew, sons Pete, Bob, and Wenhao; daughter-in-laws Cindy, Dessa, and Brittany. He was Papa to Ellie, Owen, Bailey, and Ben. Cremation. Memorial services will be at Jim and Cheryl’s on Tuesday, August 25th at 10AM. Masks are required and please bring your own chair. Memorial contributions may be made to the Lupus Foundation of America, Heartland Chapter, 4640 Shenandoah Ave, St. Louis, MO 63110-3422 or www.lupus.org or charity of your choice.
