On January 5th, 2020, the unthinkable happened, and we lost our wonderful Jim in a tragic accident. 

To his family, Jim was a devoted husband, a loving father, a caring uncle, and the world's most fun and creative grandparent. To the greater community, he was a father figure to all - a mentor, a coach, and a friend. His role as Santa to Nancy's Mrs. Claus brought delight and warmth to so many children and babies spending Christmas in the hospital and NICU. His time as Santa best described who he was year-round: a generous, loving, thoughtful man who gave without thought of receiving, loved with his whole heart, and brought smiles to so many. 

At this time, Jim's family, especially his wife Nancy and their three children, are going though the unimaginable. We know that Jim had such an incredible and positive impact on the lives of so many, and we ask that you consider honoring his legacy with a donation that would help ease the burden his family will face in the coming days, weeks, and months. 

Jim's niece Katie (me) is working with his wife Nancy, and all funds donated through this fundraiser go directly to her. We are so grateful for your generosity and kindness during this difficult time. 


In loving memory of Jim Wood, the kindest man.
