James A. Jorgenson was called home to the Lord on Monday, July 3rd 2017. Born April 25th, 1934 to Ed and Anna Jorgenson of Powers Lake, ND. He was the youngest of his siblings. James also known to many as Jim or Jimmy, enjoyed many adventures in his lifetime. Whether it was traveling across country from Rhode Island to California, working in the mines, wrestling with "Sissy" the tiger, balancing his sledge hammer on his nose, fishing, riding his horse "Misty" or jumping out of a plane while serving in the United States Army. He made friends with everyone he encountered and welcomed them with a friendly smile and a firm hand shake. You were never a stranger to Jim!
Jim was a proud father, grandfather and great grandfather. He loved spending time with his family telling stories, listening to music, and sharing a meal.
Today we say goodbye to a hero, a father, a grandfather and role model like only stories are written about. He was blessed with the heart of a saint and a soul of a man. He may not have lived a perfect life, but he lived life to the fullest. Above all else, he loved God, family, and friends. His memory will forever remain in our hearts.
