I have just recently learned of Jim's passing. I never had the opportunity to meet Jim in person. He was instrumental in getting my dad (Tommy Evans) into the Will Rogers High School Hall of Fame. We corresponded by email and occasionally by phone. I enjoyed hearing stories about my father and Jim when they were youngsters. Thank you for the wonderful memories. Blessings to your family and loved ones. Sherry Trammell
Jim was a very dear friend to me. I have cleaned for Jim and Janis for over 20 years, when someone would come by for a visit Jim always introduced me as their friend. I would say "I was their house cleaner." I always thought that it so kind of him to consider me his friend as over the years they became my family. I love them both so dearly. I am deeply saddened of his passing and miss him greatly. I am very lucky to have had the opportunity to know Jim as he was a blessing in my life over the years. I always say if the world had more people like Jim and Janis this world would be a better place. We have lost a dear sweet man and a treasure, I love and miss you Jim! I know you are with our Lord now and that gives my heart peace.
We are so blessed to have known Jim for 75 years. Talked to Jim at least twice a month. Will miss those fun times. Our prayers to Janis and family.Charlyne & Randy Davis Scottsdale, Arizona
To Janis and Family members of James Samuel Young: As classmates at Will Rogers High School, Jim and I were not often in the same circles of friends. It was my pleasure to get to know Jim in the following years when we were busy working on reunions and the monthly luncheons we enjoyed. Jim was a friendly worker who was always ready and willing to be a contributor and he would volunteer to have a birthday each month for a cupcake we handed out from time to time. Jim was an advocate for the new wrestling mat the class of '49 recently made available to the Will Rogers High School. Fly On! Jim, we will miss you.
Great knowing you Jim. I'll never forget our Air Force trip to Puerto Rico. We had a great time didn't we?Birdie
Death leaves a heart ache no one can heal. Love leaves a memory, no one can steal. I knew Jim in high school and he was well liked by his classmates. Nothing is greater than a treasure of a friend. God broke our hearts to prove to us he only takes the best.
High school seems a very long time ago…but not when I look at your picture. Rest in peace…knowing you were loved and appreciated. Barbara Blakely
Jim Young, you have been a dear friend for over 50 years. I was so proud to be one of your Ministers at First. You were always so encouraging to me and so kind during my times of grief. May you rest in peace dear one and as you always said, "Hope they have a casket long enough for me." I will miss you Mr. Iba, basketball star. Rev. Connie Murray Ichord "Coach"
