Jim Ed Massey

Mr. Jim Ed Massey, age 76, of Bonham peacefully passed into our Father's hands on April 14, 2023, in Bonham, Texas.  Jim was born in a small country house on March 25, 1947, in Murphy, Texas, to the late Randolph Lee Massey and Lillie Mae Williford Massey. Jim was the last of three children, two sons and one daughter born in the home.  He attended schools in Plano and Murphy, where he was active in sports.  Jim's letter of faith is kept at Murphy Baptist Church, where he made his profession of faith.  He met the love of his life, Faye Booe, at the ripe old age of 15 while working at the roller skating rink. They were later married on May 17, 1968, in Garland, Texas, and have shared 60 years of love together.  He was an avid roller skater and bowler and enjoyed yearly vacationing with his family along with camping, fishing, and boating activities.  Jim loved dining out and would never turn down an invitation for Mexican.  He retired from H.J. Heinz as a mechanical maintenance engineer in 2008 providing years of dedicated service.  Jim was preceded in death by his parents and a brother, Dale Massey, and sister Janet McCullough.  He leaves behind to cherish his memory his loving wife Faye Massey of Bonham, son Rocky Massey and Staci Keene of Garland, and daughter, Arianne Shivers and husband Chris of Leonard, nieces, Kelli Spencer of Plano, grandchildren, Ainsley Jewel Roberts, Kadence Annise Massey, Jesse Shivers, Sebastian Jefferson Murden, and Meagan Skylar Murden, great-nieces, Kaetlin Spencer and Hailey Spencer, extended family, and a host of friends.  Jim's memory of a loving, devoted husband and father will remain embedded in the hearts and souls of those he so lovingly nurtured and cherished.  His memory, lessons, and values will be passed down for many generations to come.  To respect Jim's wishes, the family has elected to remember Jim privately, therefore no public service will be held.  You may show your condolences by signing the online guest register at www.wisefuneralhome.com
