Good Afternoon Everyone,

I'd like to take a moment to update everyone. Jim left us peacefully in his sleep last night. I know he meant the world to many of you, just as much as all of you meant the world to him deeply. He started this business with the sole purpose of helping friends, family, the community, and beyond. I thank you all for being a part of his world.

At this time, I respectfully ask that the work phone is contacted for the sole purpose of communicating new appointments and other car related matters instead of calling to share and/or vent, as we deserve the time to process this grief as well. Please feel free to leave good memories/comments on this post if you need to.

The shop has a contingency plan, and will continue business indefinitely, so please don't hesitate to continue calling to schedule more work, and please stay tuned for more details in the future.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and thank you for your support.

For those that didn't get a chance to donate, we are still accepting GoFundMe funds to support Sue, Jim's wife, in end of life costs. Anything helps.

Some of you have known Jim for decades, some of you know him for years, and some only for some months. With that being said, I know we all can agree about one thing: whether it comes to vehicle repairs, advice, or a safe place to be yourself, Jim has always given back to everyone involved in his life.

I've been so lucky to know Jim as a boss and a friend. The knowledge, skills, mentorship and love he has given me in the short span of knowing him can never be replaced.

But now I am asking for the reciprocation, to give back to Jim, as he has done for everyone for years. As some of you may know, Jim was diagnosed with terminal cancer late last year, and from juggling doctors appointments, bills, and all that life brings, it has been hard on him and his wife, Sue.

I have attached a link to a GoFundMe page that has been created to help offset the financial burden they have been dealing with. If you can, anything helps. If you can't, please leave a message for Jim to show him your love.

Thank you to all friends, families, and customers who have been loyal to Clutch Mechanical; I look forward to continuing the business with the great community Jim has built around it.

With Love, Kaylee
