James Patrick O?Neil, born October 6, 1945 in Oak Park, Illinois, went home to be with the Lord, October 28, 2011 after a valiant battle with cancer. Jimmy was a mentor, friend and teacher to all who knew him. He had a knack for identifying strengths and talents in those he loved, and in his friends and co-workers. He was generous with his praise and took great joy in his role as an encourager.

An Eagle Scout and a patriot, Jim served both his community and his country with conviction. He was an avid hunter, fisherman and shooter. Jim was most at home in the fields, woods and waters of his adopted home of Texas.

A prolific dreamer, Jimmy found expression for his creativity through art and architecture. Jim had a deep faith in Jesus Christ and a strong desire to share the joy of that relationship. If you had more than a passing contact with Jim, you were soon going to hear about Jesus. He was bold because he was excited about what God had done for him and he just knew that you needed the same.

Jim was preceded in death by his parents, Harvey and Edna O?Neil and his beloved niece, Dawn McCann. He is survived by his son, Erin O?Neil of Madison, WI; his sister, Sandra McCann of Rockford, IL; his nephew, Todd McCann and family of Aledo, TX and his cherished friend of 14 years, Lisa Fain, of Austin, TX. Additionally, Jim?s love and encouragement will be deeply missed by Lisa?s adult children, Christina Bandy and Trey Moore. ?Papa Jimmy? is also survived by 8 grandchildren; Valerie, Brianna, Nicholas, Angelica, Kyra, Cole, Corbin and Lianna.
