Jim was a fine Christian man. He served on the Mobeetie School Board for many years with my father Gene White. Some of my fondest memories of my childhood were of playing basketball with Jamee and Shannon, our parents always in the stands, with Jim leading the entire crowd in a cheer. He was an encourager and a positive influence to many of us. God bless you all in the loss of your patriarch.
I'm so sorry to hear about Jim's passing. He was a wonderful man.
I pray for you Kay as you go through this difficult time. You and Jim are some of the best people I met in Mobeetie. May God bless you.
Praying that God will bring each of you comfort at this most trying time. May your hearts be filled with all the wonderful memories.
Billy, Rhonda and Tyler McWhorter
My thoughts and prayers are with you Mrs Batton. Jim was a wonderful man.
We are so very sorry that Jim is gone. He was such a good friend and will be missed by everyone that knew him. He was a humanitarian and so very talented. Please know we have you in our hearts and prayers. Delbert, Jane, & Drew
Jim was a classmate and teammate at LaMarque, We had many memorable times together. When I played as quarterback Jim was the center and it was very nice to play with him due to his skill and knowledge. In track he threw the shot put and the discus winning many gold medals. We will miss Jim.
