At the age of six, he moved with his family from Toppenish to Zillah, WA where he was raised and educated.
Jim’s love and zest for life was tremendous.
There was nothing he would not attempt to do and very little he could not accomplish.
His wide knowledge and abilities came from this assurance.
he had done everything from grafting, build homes, long haul trucking, and engine repair to one great rodeo clown.
His love of music was wide and eclectic.
He played a mean guitar and was always learning something new: banjo, Indian flute, fiddle and his latest interest; the bagpipes.
Jim is survived by the love of his life, Glenda Lou Altizer and their family including Angie Altizer and partner, Dan Crawford; Donovan Altizer and twins Skye and Michael Altizer.
Also, one daughter, Laquita Sak of Arkansas.
