I knew him here locally & would see him at multiple functions every summer. Jim was a great guy & I'm heartbroken for his family, & heartbroken to have to say goodbye - he was pretty young. RIP Jim.

Devastating to to hear. And even more so the cause. A real shocker, I hope the best for his family.

That's awful! Much too young.

Peace and strength to his family. What an awful thing.

GODSPEED Jim, way too young, prayers for him and his family.

Sad news that I was hoping never to hear.

Way too young...May he RIP.

That’s terrible. RIP.

Sorry to hear this...God bless him.

My prayers for him and his family.

Rest in peace Jim. Condolences to the family and friends.

Jim helped me with some parts for my A12 years ago, he was a super nice guy.

Very sad! Always polite and helpful on here.

RIP Jim. Sad for his family and friends. Gone way too soon.

Its sad the available vaccines were not able to change the outcome.

RIP.

Had he taken the vaccination before contacting the virus ? My understanding is it has to be administered before contracting the virus.
Regardless, RIP and many prayers to his family

I was friends with him on Facebook and met him a couple of times, followed his struggles on FB and heard about it there first, RIP JB!

Very sad to hear. My thoughts and prayers are with Jim's family and friends.

Man he was my age



God Bless him and his family

Prayers sent

And mine ... way too young

RIP Jimmy! One of my best friends for over twenty years! He will be dearly missed.

Jim and I were exactly the same age. Our birthdays are just a few days apart. Jim had a lot of underlying health conditions that made him very susceptible to many things. I do believe he received the first vaccine.

Sorry to read this.
RIP Jim.

Very sad. Way too young.

Very sad, way too young. wow....

Far to young. May he Rest in Peace.

Horrible, Horrible News, God Speed and Prayers sent to Jim and his family

Not good. Too young for sure.

So very sorry to hear…

So sad to hear, especially at a young age too. R.I.P. Jim
Everyone looking at this.....PLEASE get the vaccine, to prevent getting seriously sick or dying from COVID-19... if you already haven't done so.

Way to young !!!!

RIP Kidd

Always a good guy here and was one of the more or less old timers. Very sad to hear of his passing.

Awful news. Prayers to his family and friends. I met him via Sunroofcuda at a Detroit area show. Jim was just the definitive all around nice guy. RIP Jim.

Terrible to hear. RIP!! Condolences to family and friends. Very sorry to hear.

TJP, except for some underlying conditions already mentioned by Kidsixpack, he was fine until a week after his first vaccine - then he became very ill (that's the news I heard anyway). I'll keep my politics to myself, but I'll say I really wish he had not gotten the first shot!

The truth is that Jim had one shot, and was slated to have his second a week after he caught the bug at a work function. Two others caught it at the same time--the guy who was unvaccinated died (read: two people employed at that company are now deceased), while the other had one previous shot and is forever scarred in his respiratory system.

Jim contracted the virus at a work function. A number of others were infected all at the same event. Others were hospitalized as well. Jim was off work at the beginning of the pandemic like most of us were. His underlying issues made it so he was off quite a bit longer.
Like many other people he had to return to work. He stayed quarantined as long as he could.

Diego: Interesting that we posted simultaneously! I didn't know about the other guy passing.

Thank you for confirming my post.

It’s been a minute since I posted on Moparts last, but got word there was a thread rolling here about Jimmy. Beautiful stuff, gents. Your incredibly kind words are soothing my soul over here, to learn of all the people this cool dude came into contact with.

Can’t thank you all enough from the family and close circle of friends who love to see all this warmth.

And a big shout out to you, Eric, for starting this thread.

May he rest in peace God bless his family
