I was blessed to call this man my Dad for 20 years! He was the only Dad I ever had and I cherish the memories I had with him. He was a loving father and grandfather who set a prime example for his children and grand children. Thank you Dad, for being a Godly man, having a wonderful since of humor, and for being such an inspiration to me and my boys. You will hold a dear place in my heart and I will truly miss you. I love you Dad! Cindy
I am deeply saddened by the loss of Jim. His love for Scouting was a real inspiration to me. Jim touched many lives in a positive way.
Godspeed, Jim. I like to think there's a really big cannon to set fire to.
Our sincerest condolences go to Jim's family. Had the pleasure of knowing Jim for a short time while we lived in Memphis. May God bring peace to the family.
Rest in Peace, my friend.

Jim was a dear friend whom I will miss so much. When Jim was on a walker a few years back for some medical reason, I teased him at Prayer and Share about being 'Mills on Wheels'. He truly was. He has come to the prison faithfully bringing God to those 'shut-ins' who needed what he brought so much. Love you Brother Jim. Wait for me, I'll see you some day soon.
I'm so sorry to hear that Jim has passed away. I worked a couple of Kairos with Jim and had many visits with him at Our Donuts. We will miss you Jim but I know you are at home with Jesus!

I would like to send my condolences to all of Jim's family, he will be missed. I am Bobby Ellerbrook I live in Clarendon I am the pastor of Body of Christ Church, Jim and I started on the same Kairos together #9 and have been working them together ever since. Even when he would have surgeries, as soon as he could he would get back to serving the Lord through Kairos, he would tell me in conversation ever once in a while that he was hurting, but he would say quitting is not an option. He was a great example to the rest of Christians to keep on serving the Lord all the way to the end of our earthly life. I had just talked to Jim on Thursday before he passed away on Saturday, that we wouldn't have prayer and share at the prison because it was locked down. Jim and Steve Carter and myself would go to prayer and share every Thursday. Jim was very faithful to the work of the Lord. It brought me to tears when I heard that he went to be with the Lord, but then I am kind of jealous that he beat me there !! Jim will be missed by me and all of our Kairos family. He was a great man. I pray that this brings ya'll some comfort. We here at the Body of Christ have been praying for ya'll to experience God's love and comfort and peace, and we will continue to keep praying for ya'll. kairos won't be the same without Jim. I will never forget what Jim meant to me !!! May God bless ya'll during this time of mourning.
