Jim had an adventurous spirit and a deep appreciation for nature's beauty. He had a range of interests that included fishing, football, March Madness, horticulture, gold panning, rock hounding, and holidays spent with cherished family members. Whether he was casting a line into a tranquil river or cheering on his favorite team from the sidelines, Jim found happiness in these moments and inspired those around him to embrace life's simple pleasures.

Jim is survived by his beloved wife Mickey Hansen; their sons Dale (Jennifer) Lowder, Dave Lowder, Craig Lowder; Crystal (Jeremy) Brown; as well as his mother Theresa Ekins; brother Milton (Nola) Hansen and sisters: LaVonne (Allen) Meyer; Janis Rupp; nine grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren. Jim's dedication to his family was unwavering, and his nurturing presence will forever be missed.
