James Jaeschke Obituary
Jim was kind-hearted, fun loving and a true friend- not only to his fellow humans, but also to all of the animals that he adopted and loved. His "dog pound" was the home to many unwanted dogs (mostly great danes) and several brave cats. Jim devoted his time passionately to work, play and his animals and each brought him a special joy. He had a knack for making each adventure more memorable with his enthusiasm and sense of humor. He always inspired goodness, kindness and a humbleness that was endearing.
As a fellow cancer warrior said, "Faith is not about everything turning out okay. Faith is about being okay no matter how it turns out." Jim wishes each of you that type of healing and would tell you to please celebrate life as best you can. His favorite saying was BDE- Best Day Ever!
A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, November 13th from 2-6 pm at 2065 W. Mercer Avenue, College Park, Ga. with another one planned in Chicago in December.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be given to your favorite charities or to Jim's - WWF, Atlanta Humane Society or National Wildlife Federation.

I first met Jim when he came to hike the Grand Canyon with John and Joey. Though his visit to our home was short, he immediately endeared himself to Linda and me and quickly became a favorite of our kids. I will remember him always as a fun and loving guy who fought hard to be here with those he loved. He will be greatly missed... just so sorry for your loss and mine as well.

Jim, you will always be in my heart. I miss you so much and was lucky to have you in my life for so many years. As the song that came on the radio this morning, 'When I see you again', we will pick up where we left off. Right now my heart is broken. So much love for you always.
