May 29, 1955 - February 20, 2024
James "Jim" Edward Canady Jr. passed away February 20, 2024 at Sacred Heart Hospital in Spokane. Tammy, his wife and the love of his life for 40 years was by his side. He was 68 years old.
Jim was born in a town just outside Detroit, Michigan on May 29,1955, to Iris Elaine Johnson and James Edward Canady Sr. He lived in various places through the years, before settling with his family permanently in Odessa in 1993.
He worked in construction for 25 years before partnering with Tammy from 1998 - 2008, team-driving an 18-wheeler with double bunk sleeper all over the United States and Canada. Then from 2008 - 2014 driving a double sleeper box truck fulfilling mostly military contracts.
Jim was fiercely loyal to anyone he loved enough to call family or friend. He was also honest to a fault, sometimes brutally so. If you didn't really want to hear the truth, you really didn't want to ask Jim the question.
Jim is survived by his wife Tammy, Odessa. Children, Chris (Melissa) Hansen, Marysville, Trevor James Canady, Napa, California, Mike (Shawna) Moore, Wilbur and Terina (Jason) Lefler, Chattaroy. Also several grandchildren, Chiara, Andrew, Evelyn, Colton, August, Meredith, Logan (Uhjinay) and Grace.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
