Jim was born in Washington Courthouse, Ohio, on November 12, 1962. Jim was a truck driver for 30 years, worked at Welch's in Lawton, Michigan, for five years and later at St. Julian's Winery in Paw Paw, Michigan.

He loved to banter about politics with his friends on Facebook. He enjoyed sitting in his front yard doing some bird watching, especially enjoying the Hummingbirds and Mourning Doves. One of his other favorite past-times was to go to the Celery Flats Park in Portage, Michigan, where he would take his dogs for walks and end up at Dairy Queen for a pup cup. He enjoyed cruising around in his Camaro in the summer time and going antiquing with his sister. He loved to make people laugh.

He is survived by his mother, Sarah Collins; siblings Julie Collins, Lillie (Howard) Russell, Jonathon Collins, Sally Collins, and Wassyona (Rick) Kahl, along with his daughters Nicole Collins and Heather Smith and also his grandchildren Brittany Wagner, Kalib Wagner, Kaden Wagner, and Eva Pineda.
