Ashworth, James Ollen Jr.

58, of Phoenix, Az, passed through the veil of life and into a
glorious reunion with family members and friends in Paradise on
August 18, 2009. Jim was born in Catawissa, MO on September 22,
1950. Jim is survived by his wife of 40 years, Lorinda, his
daughter Angela, and his furry pals Gizzie and Susie Q. Jim will
be greatly missed by his loving family, friends, and pets. Jim
was an instant friend to all he met. Jim was a man of many
accomplishments in life and truly respected by those who knew
him. Many of Jim's talents involved his love of cars. He was the
MASTER. There wasn't a car made that he couldn't make run, make
run faster, or make more beautiful. No funeral services will be
held per his wishes. There will be a celebration of his life held
for close friends and family members at a later date. In lieu of
flowers, as a lover of all animals, Jim's preference was that
donations be made to the Arizona Human Society, 1521 W. Dobbins
Rd., Phoenix, AZ 85041, in his name. Arrangements were handled by
Messinger Indian School Mortuary.
