James Joseph Sailor passed away on October 13, 2021. Jim was born on October 3, 1961 in Denver, Colorado and was the second oldest of five children. Jim attended Abraham Lincoln High School, and worked at Denver Water for 32 years before retiring to the Colorado Springs area. Jim loved his church families in Denver, Lakewood and Colorado Springs. He also loved to swim and did so regularly at the YMCA. Jim loved animals including his dog Charlie and his cat Precious. Jim and his family are most grateful for all the love and support given by Jim's church, especially pastors Clare and Mallory, who helped Jim enter into heaven.

Jim was preceded in death by his partner, Phil Kral, and by his parents Pete & Patricia Sailor. He is survived by brother Roy (Kaia) Sailor, brother Michael (Tracey) Sailor, sister Mary (William) Ford, and sister Donna (Kurtis) Barry, along with many aunts, cousins, nieces, and nephews.
