I'm so sad to hear about Jim passing, I met him and Robert Blackburn in the 10th grade and we all grew really close, Now he can rest in peace with his mom and dad. My heart goes out to Larry and Kristie.

I am sad to hear about Jim's death but I know he is in a better place now. I can remember all the good times as a young bo soaking up all the knowledge he had to offer. I wouldn't be the man I am today without his guidance and fatherly love. It saddened me greatly to know that someone so great was took so young. I will miss Jim greatly.

I will always remember Jim - he was like a dad to me, he raised my siblings and I for over 10 years. It was not easy, and he sacrificed a lot to help with 4 kids that were not even his. I will always remember playing cards and doing yard-work with him, he was a strong influence on my work ethic even today. I am really shocked and sad that he is gone, he was so young.. he will be missed.

"Needless to say i miss you Jim Graves with all my heart! Your in my prayers. I know Jim is in a better place finaly at peace. My heart goes out to his family. I love and miss you Jim!

I am sad to say I was forwarded this obituary from a close friend. It took me by surprise. Jim was a very warm and strong individual in which I had the pleasure of sharing my life with for 10 years. The world is not a better place without him. I know that he has a place in heaven and that his mother and father will be there to welcome him with open arms. You will be remembered always. May you rest in peace.
