Jim began his career as an auto body repairman along with his brother, Gary, as they owned & operated Stinson’s Auto Body of Waynesboro. They then moved and lived in Mesa, AZ, where they owned and operated a body shop. In 1985, Jim moved back to the area and he operated Stinson’s Auto Body of Pond Bank until 1993. He later worked for various local car dealerships in auto body repair. He enjoyed fishing, hunting, repairing pocket watches and enjoyed working with youth & young adults in Christian ministries.
In addition to his mother, he is survived by his wife, Angela L. Shaffer Stinson, whom he married August 16, 1996. Two sons, Donavan D. (Selma) Stinson of Bossier City, LA and Duane E.
