Jim Caviness

James ""Jim"" L. Caviness, age 71 and a resident of D'Iberville, passed away Friday, October 5, 2012 in Amarillo, Texas.
Jim Caviness has gone HOME! He loved the Lord and he loved his family. Jim was a Christ follower from the age of seven and lived for Him each day.
Jim was married 51 years to the best helpmate that God could have given him, Kay Caviness. Their life was lived together as one complete unit in Christ.
Jim spent 21 years in the Air Force, thirteen of those years he traveled the world as an Aerial Photographer in the 1375th Photo-Mapping Wing. He received multiple Air Medals during his tours in Vietnam. He always had wandering feet and loved seeing God's creation. After his Air Force career, Jim was blessed with a job that took him all over the United States working with public schools and private schools in computer curriculum development and installation.
After retirement in 2005, Jim fulfilled another desire to be a volunteer in the National Parks. He spent time in the Ocala National Forest, FL, Yellowstone National Park, and Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah. He loved seeing the fantastic things in creation that directly pointed to the fact that there is a Loving Great God.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Kate and Lloyd Caviness of Paris, TX; and his son, Patrick Caviness.
Jim's legacy is in his children Casey Caviness, Heather Caviness Hicks, and his son-in-law Ed Hicks, whom he thought of as a son. His heart was full of happiness in the continuing legacy of wonderful grandchildren, Caitlan Caviness, Erin Hicks, Sean Caviness, and Elissa Hicks. He looked forward to the day he would walk across the Jordan and see Jesus' face, and his first-born son, Patrick Caviness.
We all know he is worshiping at the feet of Jesus today, and enjoying much missed time with Patrick.
