Jim and Brenda were blessed with three daughters: Neisha, Cecily, and Jill. Jim's love for his family knew no bounds, and he dedicated himself to providing them with love, guidance, and support.
Jim loved animals and sports. However, above all else, Jim's love for his family and his faith in God were paramount in his life. He was a faithful man who found  joy in his church, Faith Holiness Tabernacle, and called it his favorite place to be.
