Jimmy had many friends and close family ties. Jimmy loved riding his motorcycle, eating rice, bacon and, oooh, his hamburgers. A Coke and a Marlboro red were his thing. He worked for many years at Grass Farms in Box Elder and loved his job there.

Jimmy had a one-of-a-kind personality, one that most people would have to work to understand, it came so easy for him. We all have our memories and special times we've shared. Hang on to those and revisit them often. Jim lives on in a place we all are going. When I think of Jim, I will see him riding alongside Randy Ketchum, his brother-in-law and best friend who passed three years ago.

Honorary friends and family include but are not limited to David (Salve) Bautista, his little brothers, Robin and Freddy, his babies, Danae and Mercedes, Sylvia Sangrey, Michelle and Brandy Lawrence, Shane Sangrey, Steven DuBois, godsons Charles and David Bautista, Blackie Sutherland, Teddy Montes and his sister Cindy.
