Jim was born on October 8,1947 in San Angelo, TX to Harold and Johnnie Wright of Miles, TX. He attended Miles High School. He was drafted into the United States Army. Jim, a man of simple needs, an understanding of God’s way, hard work, and the joys of God’s gifts. The gift of nature and freedom, he loved both. Free to wander, hunting his treasures on favorite creeks and rivers. His knowledge of God’s creatures and joy of being among them and sharing his stories of his adventures were special. Always ready for a fishing trip. Lord knows he always had everything he needed in his truck! Lordy he could have a garage sale out of that truck almost any day. The man was definitely ready. You could find bait, tools, package of shad, snacks, and most everything a man could need! To quote Jim, “You know what I mean”, He is at rest with his beloved Mother and Father.
