Beautiful tribute to Jim. He loved his family! I know you all loved him. He was loved by many! Take comfort in knowing he is with Jesus and you will see him again! Love and prayers, Jackie and Linda
Jim was one of the most influential people in my life and I know Rebecca’s life also. His teachings from the Word - Such a Blessing !!! He was a special friend to me and Rebecca. My sincere condolences to all the family and his friends. Now Jim was a real man of God and I miss his teaching and kidding around.
Praying comfort to all that knew and loved him.

I was lucky enough to meet Mr. Hurd back in the Home Federal days when he and along with many others were building in the area. He was always kind and I remember how funny he was. I know he loved his family with all his heart and I was blessed to know him for so many years. Even though he has left us his kindness lives on through the lives that he touched. He will be missed by many. My heart goes out to all of his family, prayers to you all during this difficult time. God Bless!!
