On Thursday, April 14, 2022, the world lost an amazing man. James (Jim)

Everett Orr was born on October 22, 1943 in Morrilton, Arkansas to Ernest and

Ruth (Everett) Orr, who preceded him in death.

They moved to Kansas City, Missouri in 1952, and he attended Thatcher

Elementary and Northeast Junior and Senior High School.

He met his wife Judy (Sole) Orr in middle school. They later married on January

25, 1964 and were blessed with two daughters, Lori and Angie, which completed

their family.

As a teen, Jim worked at Commerce Bank parking garage, and later worked inside

the bank. He then went on to work for Kansas City Auto Auction in 1969, where

he later became general manager. He enjoyed a very successful career with

Manheim and was loved and respected by many. He retired in 2005, but continued

to travel and do consulting for them for several years.

Jim always had a love of motorcycles. He became a member of the KC Hog group

and went on to become a road captain, lead several rides, and make many lifelong

friendships. He took a lot of pride in this group and was well respected by many.

If you knew Jim at all, you knew he was a family man. His family meant

everything to him! His two grandchildren, Mason and Kennedy, were his world.

He took many vacations with them, enjoyed summers at the lake, and very rarely

missed any of their school activities or sporting events. He was the Best PaPa

anyone could ask for!

Jim and Judy lived a wonderful life together in their marriage of 58 years, and were

the perfect example of love.
