Please join Jim Ebel's family and many friends in saying goodbye to a kind, thoughtful and gentle man. Jim, who was born on September 9, 1938 and has now passed from this life on November 6, 2018 led a full life and was loved by many. He was a loving father and husband. He had an entrepreneurial spirit, which led him to many different endeavors throughout his long life. It was his deep creativity that inspired him, the same creativity that later in life found its outlet in beautiful wildlife photography. You see, Jim was always an artist, in a time when men were expected to find a career and provide for their families. He always provided for his family, but his creativity continually drove him to follow the next idea. His life became his canvas, and the many lives that he touched will always be more beautiful for it.
Loving wife, Patricia, survives Jim. Additionally, his children Patrick, Kimberly, Susan, Carrie, Kim, Ron, Lisa, Kenny, Kim, Kelli, and Kassi survive him, as do grandchildren and great grandchildren too many to name. Siblings Marjorie Dixon and Doug Ebel also survive him. His parents Jim and Elouise Ebel, his sister Marilyn Ebel, and other loves preceded him in death. We will miss him but will celebrate this life and wish him peace and love in the next.
In lieu of flowers, please consider making a tribute gift in Jim's name to the Parkinson's Foundation at www.parkinson.org .
