In Loving Memory of Jim Board
Valparaiso, IN
It is with heavy hearts and deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Jim Board, who left us far too soon on April 15, 2025, due to a tragic car accident. Jim was a beloved father, grandfather, friend, and pillar of his community in Valparaiso, Indiana. His sudden departure has left an immeasurable void in the lives of all who knew and loved him.
Jim was known by many for his unwavering kindness, gentle spirit, and selfless nature. Whether it was giving rides to neighbors in need, volunteering his time, or simply being there with a warm smile and helping hand, Jim touched countless lives with his generosity. He lived each day in service of others—not because he had to, but because that’s just who he was.
As a father and grandfather, Jim was the heart of his family. His children and grandchildren were his pride and joy, and he never missed an opportunity to show his love and support. Whether it was cheering from the sidelines at a game, helping with school projects, or sharing wisdom around the dinner table, Jim was always present. His family was his world, and his devotion was evident in every moment spent together.
To his friends, Jim was the kind of person you could always count on. His laughter could light up a room, and his steady presence provided comfort during difficult times. He had a way of making people feel heard, valued, and cared for.
As his loved ones come to terms with this sudden and heartbreaking loss, they are now working to honor Jim’s life in a way that reflects the deep love and respect they feel for him. A memorial service is being planned to celebrate the remarkable person Jim was and the legacy of compassion, humility, and strength he leaves behind.
