Jimmy "Jim" Dale Spears

Jim was born to Mabel Louise Pearcy and Joseph Henry Spears on April 3rd, 1943, in Liberal, KS. After graduating from Weir High School, he joined the US Navy for four years before transferring to the Coast Guard. He spent the next 26 years serving our country as a chief radioman, and during that time, met his wife, Linda Sue Spears. They were stationed in multiple locations through the years, with his favorites being Puerto Rico and Hawaii, before retiring in Jacksonville, FL. He enjoyed bowling with his wife and playing golf in his earlier years, and vacationing with his family, watching golf and football in his later years. He was a devoted father and husband and was very excited to finally become a grandpa.

He is predeceased by his parents and survived by his wife Sue of over 40 years, their son, Zachary Thomas Spears and wife, Valerie, and soon to be born grandson, Charles Lee Spears, all who reside in Jacksonville, FL. He will be greatly missed by his family.
