Jim Yeager Family Financial Support
Donation protected
The Yeager family and our community lost a great man, Jim Yeager, who died unexpectedly on Sept 19, 2019.
Jimmy was a loving and giving husband, father, son, brother, uncle, cousin, friend, and community member.
The outpouring of love from friends, family, and the community is evidence of the love and caring Jim shared with everyone he met.
Jim had type 1 diabetes since age 14, but never let it stop him. He had kidney failure and was on dialysis five days a week, but most people wouldn't know about it, because he never talked about it. Instead he continued to be a hard worker, a provider, a volunteer fire fighter, a loving church member, and a devoted father and husband. As his children have said:
Jordan: "My mom's best friend is gone, her one true love. Her whole world...her partner in crime... a couple so in love, that 30 years later you could still see that gleam in their eyes when they looked at each other. A couple I will always look up to."
Thomas: "God gave you a heart that worked harder than anyone else's. And a body more tired than most. And a spirit so strong you willed both to work together for so long."
Over and over, people have shared how Jimmy influenced their lives:
"You could never catch him in a bad mood, he always had a big smile on his face and loved everyone."
"One of the best men I ever met"
"Jim gave the best hugs"
"...happy, full of life and a genuine love for others "
"Jim has been a great joy to have around, he always had a smile on his face that was infectious to say the least"
"Jim loved God and he loved people. He lived well."
His loss is devastating to his family and friends and as the outpouring of love for his amazing wife, Katie Yeager, is shown, we ask that we not only send her our love and prayers, but that we support her financially.
The unexpected loss of Jim's income and the expenses due to his untimely death are another crippling blow on top of the loss of her soulmate, Jim, and the loss of their dreams and plans for the future.
As Jim was a positive influence to all he met, please help us influence the lives of Katie, Jordan and Thomas:
All proceeds for this GoFundMe will go directly to Katie to use for the financial expenses that have arisen due to Jimmy's death and unexpected loss.
