In Honor of Jim (James) Lawton 77yrs young Memorial to a great human being.
(Click above link to visit the whole memorial page for Jim. Update Billy Lawton did murder his father currently in Utah State Hospital, avoiding the Captial Murder Trial that may never happen)
I last saw Jim on Saturday evening he left around 10:30pm or so after our usual evening conversations about the going on's in life, we talked of the past, the future things we wanted to do and a various spectrum of topics, however this night would be our last conversation together in this life.
Some time between 11pm and 8:30am Sunday morning Jim was taken from this life by a force of darkness who choose to end his life. And left him on a mountain road out side of Joseph, Utah, The investigation as to who & why is ongoing. But the fact is a wonderful human being had his life shortened. We shall at this time not post these events, they can be found elsewhere in the news. (I will share on another page the ongoing investigation / story, at least what is publicly allowed. Should be up this weekend)
Jim is to be remembered for who he was, what he did, his entertainment, his joy, laughter, his "Jimizsm" my wife and children call them, his words of advice. So much to remember of him, let us keep them and share them for all to learn as we remember his life.
This is a work in progress, and I would invite anyone who knew him, or met him to share their thoughts, stories, or things Jim told them of his life's adventures. We will share as we can his memories.
And Photo's of this kind, friend to all human being. May we all meet him some day again.
If you would like to add a comment(s) or photo's about Jim please feel free do do so under comments and we will add them to the page. Also if you would like to email them, send them to.

If you have a thought, memory, story, experience with Jim please add it in our comment place below and we shall add it to the main Memorial page with the rest. Thank you.
One thing about Jim, I think everyone who's been invited to his 100th Birthday party in 2034 if your still alive, should throw him a big 100 bday party on his behalf where ever you will be at that time. Jim would get a big kick out of it watching us from Heaven do that for him. just a thought for the future.
