Dear Friends, Family, and Loved Ones,

Jim Couling passed away this morning at 11:40am. All of his children had a chance to give him love and say good-bye, he was surrounded by love when he died.

We're so grateful for your support. If you wish to share your love in the form of a gift, please consider donating and/or sharing this fundraiser. For further information, read the entry at this link: CaringBridge Death Announcement

January 17, 2023: It's hard to imagine a better leader, father, friend, husband, or man than James Couling. He was a giant among us, a helper, and a guide. A shoulder to cry on, a heart that will hold space for those of us privileged to know him. A leader who's proven what it means to lead with love.

As he was passing, he asked that we set up this fundraiser. In lieu of flowers, his wish is that those who want to show their support through a gift should donate money that can offset the costs of travel, loss of working hours, and expenses for his six children to be with him and our Mom these past few weeks; and as we face what's coming.

Even now, our precious Dad is trying to take care of us. We are so lucky and so loved by our Dad, and who could ask for more than that?

If you're able, willing, and it feels right to you, please donate a gift in honor of Jim to help his family.

Thank you to everyone who's supported us through this journey. The gifts of food, support, and kindness have been truly stunning.

Papa Jim loves you.
