James “Jim” Richard Fry (Simon), age 75 of Clarksville, Tennessee, passed away Sunday, January 31, 2021, at Tennova Healthcare.
Jim was born September 29, 1945, in Montgomery County, to the late Richard Clair and Ruth King Fry. In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by his two aunts, Elizabeth Nunn of Sturgis, KY and Proctor Littlepage of Mart, TX; and his cousin Paxton Littlepage, of Mart, TX.
He is survived by many friends and loved ones.
Jim served in the US Army in the 1960s and traveled as far as Alaska. Jim was in a band, which cut a record album in the 70s. His love for music continued throughout his life; he loved music almost as much as he loved people. Jim enjoyed visiting with his neighbors and many friends. During his 53 years as a member of First Christian Church in Clarksville, he served as a board member for several years, managed the food room which helped many families, and most recently was the church greeter.
A graveside service will be held late spring at Greenwood Cemetery in Clarksville.
Arrangements are entrusted to Neal-Tarpley-Parchman Funeral Home; (931) 645-6488. Online condolences may be made at www.nealtarpleyparchman.com.
