Jim Dougherty entered into Heaven on May 28, 2015. He was the first born of four, to Mabel and Earl Dougherty. Jim grew up in Garden City, Kansas, attended school there, and graduated from high school, playing first string on the only football team to win the state championship. He also played in a dance band, graduated from college with a Fine Arts Degree, which led him into a radio and television career in Colorado Springs, CO and then to Spokane, WA.
Jim married Linda Brown in 1964 and had three children; Teale, James Richard and Jamie. He had an early career in radio and television in Garden City, KS, Rocky Ford, CO, Pueblo CO and Colorado Springs, CO, where he worked for KVOR, KRDO and KIIQ. In Colorado Springs, Jim married Sara Evans in 1973, and they had two children; Darin and Jacob. A career opportunity opened for Jim in Spokane, WA at KXXR. Eventually, Jim went into sales and won many top awards. After a second heart attack, Jim discovered a new interest in the medical field where he became an Invasive Cardiovascular Tech in Vancouver, WA. Jim loved this career as he was able to empathize and sympathize with patients as a heart patient himself.
Jim had a strong love of God, was a patriot, and a political advocate. He loved to read, fish, work in his garden, listen to good music, and get together with his much loved friends and family. He was a quick and curious learner and knew how to do most anything, or would patiently 'figure it out.'
Jim is survived by his wife Sara Dougherty, his sisters; Colleen Jackson, Maggie Hahn and Debra (Mark) Miller, his children; Teale (Rory) Kocher, Jamie (Kevin) Miller, Darin (Amy) Dougherty and Jacob (Raeann) Dougherty and eight grandchildren. Jim is preceded in death by his parents and his son James Richard Dougherty.
A memorial will be held at 11:30am on June 19, 2015, at New Heights East Church, 7913 NE 58th Ave., Vancouver, WA 98665.
