Jim was born January 17, 1951, in West Virginia to Jennie Lee Harris and the late Arden Short. Jim was a faithful follower of Christ.

He is survived by his loving wife of 52 years, Sandra “Sandy” Short of the home; two children, James Short and wife Krystal, and Amanda Blakley and husband Kevin; one brother, John Short (Tannya); two grandchildren, Jayme Short and Isabella Blakley; one great-grandchild; Teryn Short.
