James Clayton 'Jim' Glazier, 52, passed away Monday, April 2, 2007, at the Immanuel Lutheran Home in Kalispell.

He was born in Wellington, Nev., and spent his early years at the Nevada Mental Health Institute in Sparks, Nev. He left the institution in 1972 and became a part of a large family. Jim attended McKinley Park School and worked at WARC in Reno, Nev.

In 1977, with his family, Jim moved to Kalispell and became an active member of that community. In a March 1995 issue of the Daily Inter Lake in Kalispell, Jim was featured in an article, 'Within the Heart of the Community, Everyone Belongs.' Jim was an active part of our community working at Flathead Industries at the Recycling Center and daily trips for coffee at Sykes. He and his family traveled between Kalispell and Reno regularly as well as many other adventures. He was a great fisherman, bowler, recycling expert and a valued player on the Big Wheels Basketball teams. Jim lived within the hearts of our community!

He was preceded in death by Randy Moddrell.

He is survived by Gay Henderson Moddrell, Mike and Margie Henderson and children, Marisa and Terry Henderson and children, and Marie and Rusty Weber, and his very special friend, Randy Kenyon, all of Kalispell; Bill and Teri Henderson and children, and Tim and Lori Henderson and children of Reno. Jim had many other extended family members as well as a birth family.

A celebration of Jim's life will be held at a later date. The family suggests that any memorial contributions be sent to the Special Friends Advocacy Program, 313 Second Ave. W., Kalispell, MT 59901.

Johnson Mortuary and Crematory is caring for James' family.
