Jim answered the call of his nation in his youth and joined the U.S. Air Force where he served in the Korean Conflict. After serving, Jim was an Assembly of God pastor in Oklahoma, Montana and Kansas. Returning from the ministry in 1999, he lead many souls to become children of God. Jim loved to be outdoors, spending his free time fishing and hunting.

The family would like to offer special thanks to the Sulphur Veterans Center for the compassion and care for Jim. The staff and nurses were outstanding and made us feel like a family in their home and workplace along with special acquaintances with the veterans, hearing their stories had deeply touched us. We all need to realize our freedom is because of these men and women’s sacrifices and courage. The Sulphur Veterans Center is full of angels - we will hold them in our hearts forever. May God bless you, -Mike and Janie.

Jim is survived by his children, Mike and Janie Hardoin, of Sulphur, and Clint and Mahonna Moore, of Lebanon, Oklahoma; five grandchildren; six great-grandchildren; and two great-great-grandchildren, as well as a host of other beloved family and friends.
