Help Honor the Life of James “Jim” S. Arns Jr.

With heavy hearts, we share the passing of James “Jim” S. Arns Jr. on December 29, 2025. Jim was a beloved brother, uncle, mentor, and friend whose life was defined by music, generosity, and an unwavering commitment to uplifting others.

In recent years, Jim faced significant health challenges that required ongoing medical care. The physical, emotional, and financial toll of these challenges was substantial, and his family has carried the weight of these expenses with love and devotion.

This fundraiser is being created to help cover Jim’s final expenses and ease the financial burden on his family as they grieve and celebrate a life so richly lived. Any contribution, no matter the size, will help honor Jim’s memory with the dignity and care he so deeply deserves.

If you are unable to give, sharing this page or simply holding Jim and his family in your thoughts is deeply appreciated.

Thank you for helping us honor a remarkable man whose music, kindness, and spirit will continue to resonate for generations.
