James (Jim) Edmund Caldwell

James (Jim) Edmund Caldwell Jim returned home to our Heavenly Father on September 29, 2016 at home surrounded by his loved ones. He died at age 78 after a 6 year battle with Multiple Myeloma. Jim was born March 12, 1938 in Bisbee, AZ to Ellsworth Roland Caldwell and Kathryn Nova Hall. He was a long time resident of Las Vegas, NV where he married Rose Lee Foster on July 28, 1962 and later sealed in the Las Vegas temple on June 1, 1992. Together they built their lives in Farmington, NM and Escalante, UT before settling in St. George, UT for the past 25 years. Jim’s greatest passion was his love and respect for guns. Over the years he amassed a beautiful collection, several of which he carved out of a block of wood and assembled by hand. He won the Nevada State Championship in target shooting in 1964. The autumn was his favorite time of year because that meant deer and elk hunting was near. The freezer was always stocked from successful hunting trips he and Rose shared together. Jim and Rose loved to travel. They have been to all 50 states and traveled in Canada, Mexico, Europe, and the Caribbean. Employment: Jim was a sole proprietor for the majority of his life. Heating and air conditioning was his primary business in Farmington, NM and later purchased the Circle D Motel in Escalante, UT in 1986. He was deeply committed to his church and service to his community. Jim held Financial Secretary, Sunday School President, and High Councilman positions in the LDS Church which allowed him to build lifetime bonds with those he served beside. Thank you to members of the Escalante & St. George LDS Church for all their support and friendship. Words that sum up the Jim’s outlook on life: The perfect day was hunting/fishing on Boulder Mountain UT. Jim is survived by his loving wife, Rose Lee Caldwell, his children: Debra Ann Ruick and Dustin Bruce Jones, his grandchildren: Arthur Moss, Kathryn Moss, Laura Moss, Jason Jones, and Jamee Caldwell, and 12 great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his daughter Nova Mae Caldwell, his siblings: Dorothy Caldwell and William (Bill) Caldwell, and his parents. Condolences can be sent to Serenity Funeral Home in St. George. A celebration of Jim’s life will be held in the future. His final resting place will be near family in Escalante, UT.
