So grateful our Paths crossed when they did. Jim was a gentle man who was also a gentleman. He is now whole, healthy and at Peace in the presence of his Savior. Thx for your Witness, Jim.

How can a heart rejoice and break simultaneously? Knowing Jim is home and safe with the Savior he loved is cause for celebration, but it hurts to say goodbye to such a loving, kind and gentle friend. We will miss Jim's ready smile, listening ear,and words of encouragement. We have shared so much for so many years that Jim and Marti have become like family, and as such we will continue to wrap our arms around Marti. We promise to get together often,and be sure she has chocolate.
Jim:We love you. We miss you. And we'll meet you on that beautiful shore.

I remember when I was a teenager being so thankful for Jim and Marti. Marti was my working budding at FCS every Friday night. Jim was so kind to bring me a yummy soda and make sure Marti and I were safe. God bless you all. Praying for you.
Love,

I am so sorry for your loss. Although I didnt know him well, I remember him with fondness from my friendship with his sister, Janet. My thoughts and prayers are with the Schroeder family.

Jim was a great friend and mentor. His life exemplified the love of Christ toward others. He demonstrated genuine caring when others were hurting and made himself available to share his love and wisdom as needs presented themselves. He loved his beautiful wife, four daughters, their husbands, and children sooooo much! He spoke often of his out-of-town family, too. No one could have asked for a better dad, a better friend, a better human being. Jim's testimony for the love of Christ stood bright wherever he went. He gave and shared of himself and of God's love, even as dark days sometimes crept in.

We worked, we played and we laughed together. Jim was an exceptional man who will be sorely missed by us and all who knew him. For now, he has simply slipped on ahead, awaiting our arrivals on Heaven's celestial shores. We're imagining him, ready to greet us, by a quaint cabin amongst wooded pines and awe-inspiring views of God's new creation. That day will be a grand celebration!

Whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.' Heaven has received a new member. Jim is an amazing man of God and prayer warrior, and I have been so blessed by both Jim and Marti.

Jim has been a wonderful friend for over 40 years. We met when we both were with Campus Crusade and stayed connected when we both went different ways yet both ending up here in Colorado Springs.

Jims gentle spirit and quick to help was an encouragement to me to do the same.

I will miss him!
