Say a Prayer For Big Jim

[Spike]

I was just made aware that Big Jim was taken by ambulance to the hospital. His son, xxmatto on the forum, announced it in the chat room.

Jim is the heart and soul of our little group and we need him to be okay. Please keep him in your prayers that he is okay.

If anyone gets news of what is going on, or how Jim is, please post here and visit chat to let folks know.

Good luck to you Big Jim, and God Bless You.


UPDATE

Heartbeat got in contact with Jim's son Matt. It looks pretty tough for Big Jim. What was described as a "massive" brain hemorrhage and a transfer to hospice care. 

Pray for Jim and his family. Hope for the best.

This is the most awful thing I could imagine. Big Jim has always been sort of an inspiration to me. I will pray for the big Texan. Xxmatto, hang tough buddy, praying for you too.

[SamStafford]

Big Jim, my prayer goes to you. I hope you get better.

gentlemen, my father dident make it, he passed about 2 hours ago. i just wanted to tell every one of you thank you, because for a long time now you all were what kept him going, you were his friends and besides me really the only people he ever talked to, he considerd all of you friends. and his time talking to you even rivaled his time with my daughter he thought that much of you all. thank you all so very much.

Matt, I agree with bad, he was a great man and we did love him.  He was a friend of ours and id get online hoping hed be on so I could share something with him or ask him for advice.  He will definitely be missed and always remembered.  Prayer for you and the family are being sent.  I'm glad that I had the opportunity to meet your dad, he gave me sage advice about guns and life.  God bless and if you guys need anything let us know.

Matt, I am so sorry for your loss. I want you to know that Jim was loved by us all here and we are so sad about his passing. We are also feeling for you and Big Jim's favorite little angel, Anja.

Give her an extra hug from all of us please. Just know that your dad was more than a screen name here and we will never forget him. He made all of us better people for knowing him.

While is hurts me to know he won't visit here I know this is much more difficult for you and the rest of Big Jim's family. If you need anything, and I mean anything please don't hesitate to ask any of us. Your dad meant a lot to us and we want, or even need to help you if needed.

And know that you are as much of our little family as Jim so you are welcome to visit us often, for anything you want to say or know, or just to BS with a bunch of internet guys that think the world of you and your family. I think Jim would like that.

I never feel there are adequate words to say at a time like this. I am sorry for your loss!
