Jim was one of the nicest and kindest men put on the face of this earth. He will be missed. There's an old song that says only the good die young and that fits Jim. Sending thoughts and prayers to his family.

To the O'Kelley family. Please accept my condolences at the loss of your loved one. May your cherished memories help you to cope with her loss. May Jesus words at John 5:28, 29 and Isaiah 25:8 help ease your sadness during this difficult time.
