James Alvis House Jr.

Jim grew up in Mesquite and went to North Mesquite High School. After school he worked in sales, he had a gift working with people. In his spare time Jim enjoyed driving his Toyota Tacoma truck, riding his motorcycle and was an avid collector of toy trains. Jim always had a Dr. Pepper in hand, he was a fan of the DP, something he passed on to his kids. His greatest joy in life was his family and friends, all of whom will remember his gentle soul, vibrant sense of humor, laughter, and smile. Everywhere Jim went he was the life of the party. He will be missed by so many.
