James Rayburn Crandall (Jim) 78, quietly passed away Thursday, December 15th, 2022. He was surrounded by his family and loved ones that were always the center of his life.

Jim was a retired Beechcrafter with 43 and a half years of service.&nbsp; He was able to enjoy his retirement doing the many things he enjoyed, including motorcycle trips, hunting and fishing and most of all spending time at the family land called the Hideout.

There were so many stories to tell.

Jim was preceded in death by his father Dillon, mother Dorothy, brother Dillon, and sister Marsha. He is survived by his wife Diane, sons Shawn and Jamey, daughter in laws, Dee Ann and Emily, grandchildren Dillon, Carolyn, Mia, John and Jameson and great grandson Karis.
