My sincerest condolences to the Jaeger family and to all who knew and loved Jim. I didn’t work at the same branch as he did, but anytime our work paths crossed, he was always kind, funny and great to be around.
May the love and support that surround you all be of some comfort during this very difficult time.
Sincerely,
Danita (one of Jim’s co-workers)
Jim helped coach our daughter basketball at SCL. Such a great man, always with a smile on his face. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family.
I had worked with Jim and found him to be the “go to” guy. Our UniPro Distributors and our UniPro leadership valued and appreciated Jim taking care of us. Jim would jump in wherever needed “toward the flame”. Jim always brought his enthusiasm and passion toward helping out the customer.
We will miss Jim and wish him well on his next journey.
All our prayers.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family. Mr. Jim was a very kind guy and wonderful to work with! He will truly be missed
I worked with Jim at Bunzl and knew him to be great man and outstanding salesman.
I’ll never forget when he first started at Bunzl he shared with me a note from his dad, Art Jaeger who had worked at Bunzl. This note provided Jim tips to be HONEST, FAIR and SUPPORTIVE. These two men were true gentlemen and will always be known for their friendship, and professionalism. Truly Jim will be missed, but not forgotten.
Over the years of being friends with Kelly I’ve had the pleasure of getting to meet Jim a few times. I quickly was able to see exactly why Kelly spoke so highly of him and how great of a person he was. Sending my thoughts and prayers to the family.
My deepest condolences to Jim’s family. I hope you can cherish great memories during this difficult time. I had the great pleasure of working with Jim. His professionalism, passion and supportive manner were truly genuine qualities. I last saw Jim walking the streets of Barcelona wearing a Mizzou Shirt. Jim was the best! he will be missed tremendously.
So sorry Suzanne and kids. Apparantly God had plans forJim
My heartfelt sympathies to the Jaeger family. Jim was an amazing manager/mentor and an even better friend. It was abundantly clear that Jim loved his family as he often shared while working together in the field.
I am a better individual for having had Jim in my life, as we all are. Additionally, I am beyond grateful for the time we shared on and off the course. God bless!
My sincere condolences to Jim’s family. Jim was always in good spirits and a consummate sales professional throughout his career. I enjoyed Jim’s hard work ethic, honest opinions, and upbeat views of our business. He will be deeply missed by many but never forgotten. May you rest in peace Jim Jaeger.
Our sincere condolences to the family from Tim, Jim, Shirley and Gene Wiedemann of All Pro Supply
Our prayers and thoughts are with all the family.

So sorry for your guys loss. In the short time I knew Jim, he was a great husband, father, and friend to those in his life.
Suzanne, Kelly, Chloe, Grant & Savannah- We as a family are so very sorry for such a loss. Benny has been friends with Kelly since middle school. Your family always made Ben feel so welcome and we have always felt the same. Ben loved going hunting with Kelly and Jim.
Please know we are praying for your family and will continue to do so. Our hearts ache for you all.
I worked with Jim years ago at the original Blarney Stone. He was such a great guy. He was always laughing and kind. He was also the only bartender who didn’t pick on us (much). He has continued to see Kurt ( as his dentist) for years. He always enjoyed seeing him. Please accept our deepest condolences. Cherish the memories during this unimaginable time. Hug your kids tight. We are truly sorry for your loss. There are no words. God bless you and your family during this time.
Our deepest sympathies are with your family. Nicole has been friends with Chloe for over 13 years and was always welcomed with open arms by Suzanne and Jim. We will continue to pray for your whole family during this time and in the days to come.
Jim, you were truly a good person and friend. Will never forget our laughs on the golf course. The world lost a good one. My condolences to your family. You will be in my prayers
Prayers go out to the Jaeger Family. I will always remember Jim in many positive ways, Big Smile, positive attitude and a great sense of humor. Jim loved telling stories about his family, he was a proud husband and father. I’m beyond grateful for the positive influence Jim had on my life. Thank you Jim, you will be greatly missed!
On behalf of our entire team, we send our deepest sympathies to the Jaeger Family.
Jim could light up any room with his laughter! He was always a pleasure to work with and will be truly missed.
Keeping your family in our thoughts and prayers.
We will all miss him very much. Doing bussiness with Bunzl wont be the same without a Jaeger there. Sincerly Denny @ Metro
