Jim was born July 22, 1948, the son of Russell and Lillie Mae (Taylor) Mumm, in Urbana.
He is survived by his three children, James (Niclole Elliot) Mumm Jr. of Sebring, Fla., Ryan (Tosha) Mumm of Sidney and Stefanie (Andrew) Siemsen of St. Joseph; three grandchildren, Julianne (Storm) Slaybaugh of Alva, Fla., and Ayden Siemsen and Sofiya Siemsen, both of St. Joseph; two great-grandchildren, Lakeyn and Braxton Slaybaugh of Alva; and one sister, Connie Mumm of Fort Myers, Fla.
Jim was preceded in death by his parents; as well as his brother, Steve Mumm; and sister, Jackie Hawk.
He was a graduate of St. Joseph-Ogden High School and attended United Electronics Institute in Kentucky. He was a member of the Army National Guard. Jim retired from University Asphalt in Champaign and farmed with his brother, Steve.
Jim cherished the time spent with his grandchildren at all their sporting events, as well as tinkering around the house with them every chance he could. He loved spoiling his new great-grandchildren on all their visits with new baby dolls, toy trucks and Christmas trains. He was avid antique collector and enjoyed sharing his latest finds with family and friends. His most special moments were spent every day with his beloved dogs, Pearl, Macy, Dallas and Jenny. He was very generous with all his harvests from his garden to everyone and was always the first person to lend a helping hand to anyone in need.
Memorials may be made in honor of Jim to Ruby’s Rescue and Retreat of McLean.
