My sympathies to Susie and the family with prayers uplifted. The Stevenson’s were our neighbors during our growing up years. Jim would spend a lot of time at his older sister’s house. Even as a child he had us rolling in laughter and his humor served him well into his adult years.

My sympathy to the family. I am sorry to see that Toni has passed away as well. I was sorry that Brenda and Rodney had passed. My brother, Harvey G. passed two years ago. He was friends with the “Steves”.

I’m so sorry to hear this, sending you deepest sympathies. Way back in high school, he was hilariously witty, irreverent, and so smart. It’s such a shame he’s gone so soon.

My heart goes out to Jimmy’s family. We were 1983 classmates and I have so many great memories of our school years. Jimmy could make you laugh with just a look and his witty sense of humor! We have been out of school for 40 years and yet I feel like we were just there yesterday. Forever in our hearts!

My condolences to the family. I met Jim as he began his home search and choose me to be his realtor. We spent (many) hours together often laughing as Jim was so apprehensive and we looked at 23 houses! Jim had such a great sense of humor & wit. He purchased a home not far from me at the time and we often chatted as he walked by my house nearly every day on his way to a local establishment . Fond memories, Rest in Peace My Friend.

My best memory of Uncle Jimmie was when he came to babysit my brother Chris and I for part of a summer. As the kids of his older sister Toni, we thought he was hilarious, and it remains to this day one of the best memories I have growing up. I am sad of his passing, and grateful to his brother, sister and other family members who helped him so tremendously during his illness.
