Condolence: My father: James Myrl Mays (my hero & my daddy). He would do anything that he could to help you or anyone else. My Dad worked 2jobs sometimes 3, he provided for his family of 6 w/integrity & w/pride. He taught me all about gardening -which I'll have one for him in my backyard. When mother died I became very close to my dad. I always wanted to be there for him so, I made his life #1 in mine. I wouldn't have change it for the world. I enjoyed so much of my time w/him. It was unbelievable the stories of the West & of his young life that he would sit and tell me for hours. I miss my father so deeply but, I know that he is in God's heaven.🙏 Daddy raised his right hand to the heavens Tuesday morning & that was where God was taking him into heaven to meet my Mom that he so dearly missed. My Father had so much unconditional LOVE for his Wife, Children & Grandchildren that our God gave too him that it amazed me in the end. I truly miss my Dad.😘 Love u & Mom always.

Condolence: My brother was a wonderful man and I admired him for his strength and his good nature. As a young man, he certainley was a person who liked to explore new places and to learn about everything that he could. As he grew older, this knowledge served him well. He was a smart man and so dedicated to his family. I personally am proud to say that he was my brother. He will be missed so very much and loved always. James Myrl, I hope to see you and all my loved ones on the other side some day. Love you, Linda

Condolence: James Mays always invited me into his home with an open, generous heart and and a warm welcome. He shared with me (and others) his wonderful stories of life growing up and the various places it took him and the many events that generated. Jim was always honest and straight forward, but at the same time enjoyed life and laughter. Jim always made me feel welcome and I will miss him. It has been an honor to know him. I look forward to seeing him again when my time comes. Arlen Swenson

Condolence: Dear Dad, I was blessed to have the best man I have ever met as my father. You taught me how to be a kind, forgiving strong women. Through the years I know I let you down with my mistakes but you still loved me. You worked so hard in life to take care of your family and you never asked for anything in return. My heart is broken without you but I know you are with mom and the twins in heaven and I promise I will see you again. Sincerely, Melissa Mays

Condolence: My Dad will be missed for so many reasons .From his welcoming ways to everyone ,to his stories of his life and those he knew, he could make you laugh or cry . Sometimes I felt I had lived the history chanel from his stories to some of his favortie shows or movies( history channel ,Pawn stars and all the westerns ever made ) , it was great . My dad was such a practical guy, so much common sense, and so smart. Athough limited formal education ,He just knew things . If it was broke ,he could fix it , if it needed to be made, he could make it , He was so smart. Although he could do all those things ,my dad would be there to fix and repair any of his 6 children , whenever we needed him. He was so devoted to my mom and his children .He loved the Lord and always wanted to do right by God ,his family and anyone he knew. I feel so blessed to have had time with him in my life, even until his end. Dad, I love you with all my heart, I will miss you and I wlll think of you often.I know you are safe in the Lords hands, where there are no tears ,no sorrow, and no pain,For that I will rejoice for you. I know I will see you and mom someday ,but for now I will just say " I'll see you later ", love you Dad , Theresa
