Met his wife in Denver, Colorado and married in Rapid City on March 15, 1986. As esteemed resident of Rapid City, he leaves behind his logging family and will be well missed in the Black Hills. Jimmy was a quiet, calm, gentle soul with a work ethic of an ox. He enjoyed nature and found peace within the hills; he always said “not a bad office”. He loved watching the sunrise and will be remembered daily by many not only family but many friends. He had a love for “old school ways” and never really understood the new ways of being, which was a charming quality he carried with him through life. His hobby was spending hours tinkering on his truck and visiting with his friends. He was a member of both the South Dakota Trucking Association (SDTA) and (received in 2018 recognition of 55 years of dedicated service) and The Black Hills Log Haulers Association. The family has decided on a celebration of life next summer in 2021, date to be announced.
