James Reeves Wilder Sr. Our Beloved husband, father and friend, has gone home to his Savior and Lord, on December 13th.

He passed away comfortably at his home with his family and friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Lorraine and Otis Wilder, his granddaughters Caitlin and Elizabeth Talley and Josie Kate Wilder.

Jim's heart was his kids and his grandkids. He loved everything about aviation and even loved to play the piano when he had the chance. Also, he loved serving communities as Santa Clause and delighted parents and children everywhere with his 'ho ho ho'.

You will be missed.
