James "Jim" Allen Spurgeon

James Allen Spurgeon was born July 19, 1947, in Scottsbluff. His parents were John and Stella Spurgeon. He attended and graduated from Scottsbluff High School in 1965 and earned a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Nebraska. Jim married Mattie Caddell on June 24, 1966. From this union, two children were born, Michelle Lynn and Darin Scott. These two children provided Mattie and Jim with seven grandkids that they both truly love and enjoy.

Jim loved sports of all kinds, both playing and watching. Jim enjoyed golfing, bowling and playing baseball in his youth. He could always be found in his favorite recliner when there was a Huskers or Broncos game on TV (he was the King of DVR). He also enjoyed watching golf, basketball and baseball. He instantly became a Rockies fan when the team was established in Colorado.
