Muskegon -- James Thomas "Jim" Steward passed away June 8 after a long battle with kidney disease and cancer.
He was born on March 20, 1946 in Corbin, Kentucky.
Jim grew up in Salem, Indiana where he ran track in high school and developed his love of hunting, playing the guitar, and restoring antique cars.

Jim honorably served our nation in the U.S. Army 12th Cavalry from 1965-67, earning the National Defense Service Medal, the Vietnam Service Medal with Bronze Service Star, the Air Medal, and the Vietnam Campaign Medal.

His favorite hobby, though, was ballroom dancing with his beloved partner, Susan Church of Fruitport.
