MyersFJames "Jim" Myers was tenderly taken Home on July 18, 2024. He is now, and for eternity, gazing upon the beauty of the LORD, and glorifying His name. Jim was a gentle and quiet man. He possessed a generous amount of gravity and wisdom, which he shared in word and deed. He embodied strength of character and integrity, which he taught by consistent example. He was a man of his word, dependable and could be counted on rain or shine. He was solid in character, honest, trustworthy, and kind toward people and animals. He had an unwavering respect, trust, and dedication to God by resolving to keep His commandments and was faithful in his convictions. He was deeply regarded and respected by his family and friends, everyone he ever worked with in his career, all those he served with in the body of Christ, and all those to whom he was ever a neighbor. In all his dealings, he was fair, upright, and given to kindness and mercy, preferring others before himself. He lived the things that Jesus asked of his followers. Micah 6:8 "He hath shown thee, O man, what is good and what the Lord requires of thee. But to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God."

He built a solid home for his family with his own hands. He also built a strong foundation for his children by example, to live Godly lives of their own on life's journey. Jim was, and still is, a priceless treasure to everyone who knew him.
Rest in peace daddy and rejoice with your Savior Jesus Christ forevermore. 'Til we meet again.....
