Jim was my mother's first cousin. She is Jean Evans. I am so sorry for Jim's passing. He was such a connector for the Gandee family, along with his wife. That will be missed. But Heaven is a much better place. Blessings!

Joann, Cindy and Jamie, My heart is broken in one way : knowing that you will have to live without your dad and I'm a daddy's girl too. In another, I know that Jim is in a better place, walking the streets of gold and preparing for us a place. I truly will never forget him, he was a great softball coach and your family was my family in all the years we played ball growing up. God will take care of him, as he takes care of us. Bless you girls and know that you are all loved deeply.

To the Fields Family.
I am so sorry to learn of your loss. Jim was a wonderful man and I am so thankful for the honor of knowing him.

I can picture him sitting with Pastor John Watson and the two of them catching up on what has been going on. Of course John would have an acronym he'd have to share with Jim and Jim would patiently listen with the little smile on his face as John talks.

I know Jim will be greatly missed but his love will live on in your hearts and mine as well.
Sincere love,
Pastor Pat Watson former Pastor of
Marion Christian Center

Wow, how do we convey our hearts about our dearest friend, Jim? We loved him just as he loved us. His family was and is our family. In the many times in life when there were tough times, Jim was always there to lend a hand. He had a heart of gold and that same heart goes on today in the hearts of his precious wife, JoAnna, his 2 daughters, Cindy and Jami and their husbands Bill and Regan. His 6 awesome grandchildren: Makayla, Christian James, Gabrielle, Sarah, Blayde and Seirra.

We love you Jim and we will always remember your big heart and love of family and of Jesus.

Jim loved to fish and couldn't wait til the ice broke! Jim, enjoy fishing with Jesus now and remember, we will see you on the other side.

Love forever and always, Mike and Debbie

Cindy and family, I am so sorry about your father. My dad has been gone for 10 years and I still catch myself wanting to call him. I know in my heart that when your dad went home The Lord was there to meet him and gave him a big hug. We will be together someday with our loved ones in a better place. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
