Readers,

First, let us apologize for being tardy in bringing you the following information: For those of you that are not aware, it is our sad task to inform you that Jim Cannon passed away on December 15, 2008 and was laid to rest later that week.

Losing a child is something that we would never wish on anyone. With Jim’s passing, we lost not only our first born son, but also a very dear friend. Jim had a wonderful relationship that exists all to infrequently in this world between father, mother and son….we were the closest of friends.

As has been said by others, Jim, first and foremost, loved the Lord. He recognized the fact that it was Jesus Christ  that had seen, loved, and supported him through all the years that he struggled with poor health. He was never at a loss for words when asked to explain his relationship with Christ or asked to talk of the part that the Lord had played in his life.

Jim is with the Lord now. All of the pain that he struggled with for so many years has been erased. As Jim’s dad and mom, nothing could make us happier.

Son…We loved you so much. Rest in peace in the arms of the Lord that you loved so much.

Guy Cannon (Jim’s dad)

Susan Cannon (Jim’s mother)
