Heaven has gained another Angel. Our very loved James (Jim) Laverne
Madole went to be with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on March 26,
2018.

Jim was born on June 8, 1942 in Oelwein, Iowa. His childhood was spent
with loving parents Laverne and Laura Mae along with siblings Jerry,
Jan, Joanne, and Jeanie. Jim was raised to be a very kind and genuine
man, loved by so many.

At the young age of 15, his family moved to Arizona to help Jim in his
fight against Hodgkins disease. Luckily for us he won that fight.

He moved to Kingman in 1964. He worked as a police officer for two
years and then went on to work at Arizona Ford Proving Grounds from
1966 until he retired in 1998.

After Ford he Started “Jim’s Lawn and Yard Care” and stayed busy with
that until 2012 when his sons took it over.

As a child Jim was nicknamed “Tricker” because he was always joking
around. That did not change with age. At Ford he played pranks on
others as well as had pranks played on him. Those that worked with him
at Ford will understand “Happy Birthday, Jim.”

He is survived by his wife; Francis Madole, sons; David, Jay (Noel)
and Steve (Barabara), as well as his sisters; Jan, Joanne, and Jeanie.

A Celebration of Life will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, April 14, 2018,
at the Kingman Church of Christ, 1915 Robinson Ave., Kingman, Arizona.
