Obituary

James (Jim) Michael Smith born October 9th, 1974. Born to john&Phyllis Smith. Jim passed away peacefully at home on Friday, June 13th, 2025, surrounded by his loving family.

He was an extraordinary father, son, brother, and husband—one of those rare souls whose presence lit up every room. With a magnetic personality and a heart full of warmth, Jim naturally drew people in. He was deeply loved by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

A true enthusiast, Jim had a passion for cars and the open road—nothing made him smile quite like a ride on his motorcycle beneath a big sky. But more than anything, he cherished his family. Time spent with his grandchildren was his greatest joy.

Jim was the kind of man who gave his love freely and without reservation—a deeply caring, wonderfully devoted human being. His kindness will echo in the hearts of those he leaves behind.

Jim was married to Angie Gaskill.

“May God watch over your final journey, dear friend. May you find peace and comfort, and may your family find strength in the memories we share. We'll keep you in our hearts as we continue to ride.”

“Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted”

He is survived by his wife,Angie, and his mother,Phyllis
