Growing up in Wichita Jim attended Derby High School. After graduating from high school, Jim began a career in the aviation industry in Wichita followed by his most recent employment with Cargill Meat Solutions, Dodge City, KS. Jim's passion for cars was evident to anyone who knew him. He especially enjoyed driving his 2013 Camaro SS and attending race car events. His love for automobiles was matched only by his love for his loyal dog, Sailor. Jim and Sailor were inseparable, often seen together watching movies or going for drives in the Camaro. Rest in peace, Jim. Your spirit will live on in the hearts of those who loved you. A memorial Mass will be held Friday, May 26, 10 am, at St. Patrick Catholic Church, Kingman, KS.
