Jim was born on February 25, 1950 in Poteau, Oklahoma and was the only child born to Lucille and Eldon Wisley. Jim is preceded in death by his father, Eldon and is survived by his wife of 17 years Violet, mother Lucille, aunt Vivian, son Jimbo and daughter-in-law Megan, step children, Jessica and John, his grandchildren Bailey, Madison, Dayton, Kayla, Jacob and James. He leaves behind many loving family members and his furry sidekick Jasper. Jim worked for Portwood Farms for 24 years as a heavy equipment mechanic. He loved to cook, collect guns and watch old westerns. To relax, he enjoyed traveling in his RV to the coast or to Coalinga with Vi and Jasper. The family sends a special thank you to Phillip Portwood and family, Juan and Albesa Elizondo, his many co-workers and friends. We extend our appreciation and a heartfelt thank you to his Optimal Hospice team for their caring and helpful service and support throughout this difficult time.
