Barbara and family, I am at a loss for words. JD, as my daddy likes to call him meant a lot to the Higgins’ boys. I remember Christmases at Mom and Pops and he would pop his head in and want to know where “Jason” was. Daddy always spoke so fondly of him and told me so many stories of their childhood. He will truly be missed! You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Barbara and Erica, we are so sorry. I did not know until I just read the paper. Like several of the others' comments, I knew Jim at Oakland Elementary. I will miss seeing him on the lawn mower cutting all that grass. Love to you and your family.

Time and distance have separated us, but I have known Jim my entire life and this news of his passing grieves me. Jim's dad, "Pete", and my dad were friends from childhood and "Pete" did a lot of mechanic work for my dad. One of my fondest childhood memories was going with my dad to visit with Jim's grandfather, Milam, and the two of them playing checkers. I was so glad Jim was able to restore his grandfather's house. And seeing Jim mow that huge lawn is a memory I will never forget. My most sincere sympathy goes out to all his family and many friends.

Never in a million years would I have thought of writing this about my old friend and music mate. We played in a band back in high school. Time sure gets by. We stayed in fairly close contact, as friends should and the news of his passing cut like a knife. JD old boy, for the rest of our journey, every time I look at a guitar, I will rhink of you. Rest in peace Old Friend.

I have known Jim since first grade. We went to Oakland Elementary and R-S Central High together, and we remained friends since then. Jim was always generous. I bought my first bicycle from Jim for $8.00 and paid him weekly til it was paid off. One of my fondest memories is the fudge popsicle he bought for me one hot day in elementary school. He was always kind and thoughtful. I will miss him.

The sad part of life with old friends is that we drift apart unintentionally. I had the pleasure of knowing Jim since the 1970s and we picked some together and laughed a lot and shared a lot of friends but as time passes and careers change and families grow we sometimes drift apart as Jim and I did.Family,I pray God will comfort you in a way you cannot explain.We're gonna miss our friend and family man.Rest in peace my brother til we meet again.

To Barbara and Jim's children and grandchildren..Please know you are all in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time...What a great guy Jim has been to so many people and the happiness he has brought to all the people he knew and was in contact with...I am just thankful in having been a friend of his and knowing him for many years and making music with Jim...There will be a hole in all our hearts that will only heal by knowing that if we all live our lives for GOD, and ask to be forgiven of our sins, that we will be with Jim one day again and never to part anymore..May you all find comfort in knowing that when Jim opened his eyes once more he was looking into the eyes of his heavenly Father and his other loved ones that has passed before him.May GOD bless you all.
