James Edward Givens

His memory will be cherished by his wife of 34 years, Lynn Givens; his two sons: Will Givens (Payton) and Thomas Givens, and his brother, Jerry Givens (Mary).

He was preceded in death by his parents, and by his sister, Karen Clement.

James treasured family and friends beyond all else and eagerly anticipated the arrival of his granddaughter, Theia Givens. He never failed to see the best in everyone and gave generously of his time and energy to anyone who might need his help. When offered thanks and praise, he would only say: “someday, you can pass it to on to someone else that needs help.”
