Jim was preceded in death by his parents James and Shirley Smith.
The family would like to send out a special thank you to all the staff at the Akron General ICU that cared and comforted Jim and our family.  You are all amazing.  We would, also, like to thank the hospice care team, especially Jennifer, for your care and commitment to families.
A private graveside service was held at Northlawn Memorial Gardens.  Jim will have eternal rest close to his parents.
