His sister-in-law, Pastor Jill Dugal, of Cape Coral, lived with Jim and Dee for many years and was as much a sister to Jim as his blood relatives. Jim verbally adopted father figures and many wanted to be adopted by Jim calling him dad.

Jim Kepouros started his career in the automobile industry at a young age with his brother John Keporos, giving him his beginnings and took off in the automobile business industry as owner of Lincoln Mercury Dealership and then Jay Kay Collision Center, which his sons Jimmy and Eddie have continued in this lucrative business.

Jim was a business entrepreneur, not only having his hand in the car industry, but rehabbing and selling houses and whatever he endeavored to try. When Jim completed a house, it became a home for the next person to live in. He took pride in everything he did and always gave his best.

Jim met his beautiful wife Delia (Dee Dee) while vacationing in Miami Florida and it was love at first sight. This August would have made 40 years of being married and they’ve been in love ever since that first moment.

Jim was a devoted father and grandfather and his love and caring extended to everyone.

Jim was a volunteer for the South Chapter of National Italian American Sports Hall of Fame and soon became President of the Men’s Chapter and later his wife Dee Dee joined him in volunteering as President of the women’s chapter and together, with willing volunteers were able to raise money for scholarships for countless young people.

He loved his card games and all his card buddies. It was a friendly and fun time and enjoyed by all.

Jim also volunteered with Sertoma; a facility for physically and mentally challenged young men and women and was able to raise money for this wonderful cause with countless volunteers willing to work alongside with him.

Jim was actively involved at Water’s Edge Church, serving on the board as Chairman, Board of Governors, Overseer of Ushering, Communion preparation and volunteered wherever he was needed. His level of compassion is overwhelming and his love for people stayed with him throughout his life.

Jim received Jesus Christ into his life several years ago and has continued in this faith walk, learning about the scriptures and developing his relationship with his Lord and Savior. His love and respect for Pastor Don and Lisa Neace has encouraged him along this part of his journey and others who have impacted his life, including Dee Dee; having first introduced him to Jesus.

Jim Kepouros was respected and loved by everyone who met him, including doctors, nurses, and people at church. He gave from his whole heart and generously helped others in need. There will never be anyone like Jim, and he will be greatly missed by his friends and family and all who knew him.

The family wishes to extend their thanks and appreciation for the tremendous treatment from the Medical Team in making Jim comfortable and the information passed on to his wife Dee Dee and family during this difficult time.

See you Jim in that glorious place called heavenly home!
