When I was hired to do the user experience design for a nationwide campaign I needed help integrating my designs into the NationBuilder framework. Jim actually emailed me back and forth answering questions I had even though he had team members that could answer my questions; he didn’t have to get involved in those questions but he did. I gained a huge amount of respect for NationBuilder and the company culture, because of Jim’s compassion and dedication to excellent customer service. I’m sorry to hear about his passing. He will be missed.

Jim had a grand ambition that came from a personal place and journey that change is real and possible if you act. I am thankful that he put into the world that hope > fear. #

Jim, Thank you for leaving this world a more connected and meaningful place through your work and vision. RIP.

Sorry to hear! You’ll be in our prayers! He built a great company!

Oh man. I loved Jim. I worked with him when he was just a kid and knew he was something truly special. He will be greatly missed. My deepest sympathy to his family and friends.

Thank you Jim.

God bless you.

My husband passed away on April 21, 2015 and it hasn’t been the same since. I will be adding Jim to my prayers and he will be sadly missed.😢

What you have accomplished and the changes you have helped bring lives for eternity. Thank you Jim.

Jim inspired me through his vision, his passion for a more connected humanity. His relentless approach at doing something that could change the world despite challenges inspired me to start campaigning out of college. I’ve been able to help hundreds of people connect to thousands. Thank you Jim for your way of being, for your humanity, for your love and passion. Thank you for reminding us to be grateful in the moment for what we have.

Jim’s vision for a connected humanity has guided my life and work for the past 7 years. As a friend, Jim was kind and loving and always game to jump right past the fluff to get into deep, honest conversations. As a leader, Jim was brave, unapologetic, and visionary. Thank you, Jim, for transforming my life and helping me find what it is I’m meant to do.

Meeting Jim and joining his team unquestionably changed my life for the better. I will always be grateful to him for that, and for the inspiration he ignited in seemingly everyone he met. I’ll never forget the first staff meeting where I heard him speak, during which he was back from the brink of an especially trying moment of his illness and still spoke with such verve and uncompromising vision that all I could do was cry. At my new job. In a staff meeting. And feel so incredibly thankful be doing just that. Thank you, Jim, for everything.

Jim was the most fearless, brilliant, and determined person I’ve ever met. On an intense journey fueled by purpose and meaning, we closely collaborated for over 13 years. We were friends for even longer. I’m forever grateful for everything I learned, and will continue to learn, for his unwavering belief in me, and his insistence that everyone always show up as their full, authentic self. It was one of the great privileges of my life. Thank you Jim. ❤️
