Jim was a native New Mexican. He chose to live life on his own terms and made strong friendships throughout his life. Some of Jim's hobbies over the years include hunting, bass fishing, motorcycle touring across the country and RVing. In addition to these joyful passions, he enjoyed his "computer time" and working around the home. Whatever he did, he did with gusto!
Jim was a devoted family man who took great joy as a husband, father and grandfather. Most of all, he was a great friend to many. Jim will be deeply missed, but all who knew him will take comfort in knowing he is in a better place. All of our lives have been enriched by his presence.
