Jim was preceded in death by his father Frank Piburn and father-in-law Sam Benvenuto. Jim was owner of JP Products, LLC and Co-Owner of Sauce of Sauces. Jim was an exceptional father and very proud of his three children. He loved tinkering in the garage and always had a project going on.

Jim also leaves behind too many friends to mention. Jim had a smile that would light up a room, never met a stranger and was always the life of the party. Jim's passing will leave an emptiness for all who knew him and will be greatly missed. A celebration of life will be planned at a later date. Celebration of Life on June 27, 2021, Sunday, from 2 PM to 6 PM, at Updikes Barn, 16660 County Rd C, Kearney, MO.
