Jim was preceded in death by the love of his life, Glenna; his parents; two brothers, a grandson, niece, and grand-nephew.

Dad never wanted a funeral or viewing. It is his wish to be cremated and his ashes spread together with Mom’s over a favorite camping area so they can unite on their next adventure together. We ask you to remember him full of life and with warm thoughts. We honor his wishes.

Thank you for your love and support through this difficult time.

We also give thanks to the Central Valley Medical Center; Dr. Rosenbeck; and the Nephi Hospice workers: Angela Roundy, and Teresa Hooper for the gentle care they gave during the final stages in his life.
