James Michael "Mike" Sims

James Michael "Mike" Sims, 62, of Kingston, passed from this life on November 8, 2015 unexpectedly at the Adena Regional Medical Center surrounded by his family.

He was born on July 1, 1953, the son of the late James and Alice Sims. Mike was also preceded in death by a nephew, Timothy Smith. Mike was a 27-year employee of the Reynolds Plant in Ashville.

Mike is survived by his sisters, Sharon Dailey, of Kingston, with whom he lived, and Karen Stalder, of Circleville; nieces and nephews, including Sharon's children, Sheri Bee (Andrea Pettit), Bobby (Miranda) Dailey, Pam (Brett) Tatman, and Tami (Rodney) Wiget and Karen's children, Shawn (Mike) Tatman, David Raines, Dawn Sowers and Jason Grove, and April (Jason) Wilson; several special great nieces and nephews, one special great, great niece, Alexcis Barrows, who loved getting chocolate from her Uncle Mike; cousin, Jane (Wally) Bowman, and family friend, Debbie Woods. We would like to mention Mike's "second family" at the King's Inn in Kingston that he spoke fondly of and his very dear friend, Chuck Congrove.

A special thanks to Mike's nieces, Kayleigh Tatman and Jordyn McCullough, and to the Adena Regional Medical Center Staff who assisted Mike that day. Mike was able to help others by being an Organ Donor. Someone will get the gift of sight as well as bone marrow and tissue. Mike will be sadly missed by his family and friends.
