Tooele, Utah
– Jim quietly slipped away on November 25, 2016, at home, surrounded by loved ones.
After being diagnosed with brain cancer in July, he spent his time checking off his bucket list and doing things for others.
Jim was born June 9, 1956 to Jack and Sally Turner. He was raised in Erda, Utah and loved to help all the farmers around him. His siblings are: Randee (John) Giles, Kristine (Gawin) Horrocks, Marian (deceased), Kenneth (Laura) Turner, Martha (Sam) Miles, Scott (Toni) Turner, Sean (Tera) Turner, Phillip (Teresa) Turner and Autumn (Jason) Vigil.
Jim graduated from Tooele High School in 1974. He married his sweetheart, Leslie Ivory on August 8, 1975 in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. They moved around from state to state so Jim could run cattle ranches. They had a wonderful life together. They were blessed to be able to adopt four wonderful children: Desiree (Justin) Fox, Vaughn (Angel) Turner, Emily (Brian) Stucki and Kyle Turner. They have six beautiful grandchildren: Jimmy, Graci, and Madyson Fox, Earl Schmidt, Aivini Stucki and Roselyn Turner. He will truly be missed by his family.
Jim was greeted in Heaven by his grandparents, Vaughn LeTren and Fern Turner and Ran and Selma Wardle, as well as his sister, Marian, and many other loved ones.
