Jim Alexander's Passing...

BamaTJ · Oct 12, 2009

I recieved some sad news from David on Saturday. Jim Alexander passed away of a massive heart attack while wheeling in Clayton. I know many on this board got the privledge of wheeling with Jim. He was a great guy and was always willing to lend a hand. He led our group around Clayton in 2007 and I took Ricky to Hot Springs that fall to shoot his Sunray Buggy for CRAWL. He and Nolen were great friends so I know he is taking it hard. There is a thread on PBB remembering Jim.

The man passed doing something he dearly loved. I suppose there is worse ways to go. Jim was a really nice guy and Im honored that I got that chance to wheel with him on his stomping grounds in Clayton. He will be missed !

Jim was one of the coolest guys I've ever met. When I met him in Hot Springs it only took a few minutes and it felt like we were old friends. He'll be missed.

Plus Ricky got to drive the baddest rock crawler in the planet for a few hundred yards while he helped me back down a steep shale climb that I had no business being on in the TJ. Jim was first class.

Jim was truly one of a kind. I have been on a bunch of trips with Jim over the past few years and he was definitely one of the best people I have ever had the privilege of knowing. He will be missed by many.

Here is a album with some of the pics of Jim, from our trips.

It just spun me when wyatt called with the news on sunday. I couldn't believe it. You never saw that guy without a smile on his face. I had the privilege of wheeling with him twice, and he is a 100% class act and really went for the hard stuff every time. The wheeling community is less for not having him around.
