James Edward Crim, 35, passed away on Sunday, January 24, 2021 in St. Louis, MO with family by his side. He was born on Tuesday, November 19, 1985 in Springfield, MO to Ruth Ann Cobb and James Crim.

James was united in marriage to Kimberly Michelle Jones on July 2020. He was a manager with a FedEx subcontractor in Rolla, MO. James went way too soon, he leaves us heartbroken but his memories leave us with laughter and love. He loved the Kansas City Chiefs, food, playing with his children and helping others find joy in life. James loved most of all trying to learn how to cook, anyone who knew him knows how that went (although he did make amazing ribs). We will miss him dearly and will always love him. We love you Daddy, you will always be in our hearts.

He is survived by his wife, one daughter Heidi, one son Benjamin, his mother and step-father Ruthie and Jody Keller, one brother Dustin Cobb, two sisters Stephanie Kuder (husband James) and Tiffany Powers (husband Brian), his father and mother-in-law Mr. and Mrs. Applegate, one brother-in-law Steven Jones and numerous,  nieces, nephews, friends and family.
