I am sad to learn of my good friend Jim’s passing . The whole family is in my thoughts and prayers. Jim will always live on in my heart.
I am Patrick’s cousin and even though I did not know Jim, I am so sad to hear that he has passed. I am thinking of all of you during this difficult time.
I never had the blessing to meet Jim; but, I’ve prayed for him and the entire family for several years now. My son, Matt, worked with Jim; and, back when he’d mentioned his battle with cancer, his name was written on my prayer list. I’ve prayed for him and you all each morning. When Matt texted me of his passing, I cried. As you may know, Matt’s Dad (my precious Tim) went to be with Jesus nearly 3 years ago, following a brutal battle with his health. I know how badly the death of our loved ones hurts. Incredibly. I’m thankful to have Jesus as my Savior and Lord. I couldn’t do it without him; and, I’m sure you understand that He is with you and will be with you, too. You continue to be in my prayers. May you feel the arms of The Lord holding you up; and, may His spirit comfort you.
Sincerely,
Sue
Lauren,

To all the Family, you are in our Hearts and Prayers, May God Comfort you during this difficult time!! God Bless you All !! Robert & Syreda Bryant
I am so sorry for your loss. But, Jim is walking the streets of Gold. Jim helped me navigate my first year in High School. He was someone I got a lot of advice from. The Everidge family will always hold a special place in my heart.
Larry and I send our deepest condolences to you, Lauren and all of your family 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
So sorry to hear of Jim’s passing. Lois and I will be praying for the entire family. May the Holy Spirit comfort your hearts.
I am so sorry to learn of the passing of Jim. Seems as if our family is getting smaller all the time. I have been praying for Jim a long time but God has that perfect plan so He had Jim to come unto him. I will continue to pray for the rest of the family. Just in case you never heard of me I was a daughter of Richard Gilmer and Annie Everidge, from Jonesville. They have passed. Albert is my cousin. Uncle Jim, his daddy was my great-uncle. I talk to Jim’s sister, Renita on Face Book and keep up with many in the family. Again, I will be praying for you all.

Praying for the family.
The entire Creative Builders family extends our deepest sympathy to the Everidge family. We have enjoyed many years of working and interacting with Jim and many of us consider him a dear friend. He will be missed!
I am so sorry to hear of Jim’s passing . I knew Jim from when he coached my son John Brandt .. we were always running into each other at the bank . I praying he would beat this . But Sometimes God has other plans . Jim has now beat cancer and is in no more pain. RIP Jim you will be missed. Praying for the family.
So sorry to hear of Jim’s passing, but rejoice in know he is in his new body. My husband has worked with Jim over the years, and I had the true pleasure of meeting “the face” on the other end of the phone about a year ago. I felt a connection that comes from a shared Faith in Christ and a peace that sustains you through a journey with cancer. Be encouraged that Jim is an inspiration of someone fighting the journey with a grace that only comes from Jesus Christ.
Continued prayers for your comfort and peace as your family faces the tough days ahead.
