Jim Bob Fain, 61, of Springtown, passed away Sept. 26, 2024, after battling complications from a stroke and heart failure.
As he rides off into the sunset, reunited with those who have gone before him; we invite you to a celebration of Jim Bob’s life to be held Oct. 2, at 11 a.m. at the Cooke County Cowboy Church located at 8207 U.S. Highway 82 East, in Gainesville, followed by a meal. The family kindly requests that donations be made to the Cowboy Church in his honor, in lieu of flowers.
Born in Clay County Aug. 18, 1963, Jim Bob Fain was born to Charles Alfred Fain and Gloria Ann Gray. He was the oldest of seven children. He is survived by his only son, Casey Fain, and Casey’s wife, Jenny Fain. He was a proud grandfather to his five grandsons: Knox, Fritz, Theo, Othniel and Veran.
Jim Bob was known as a hard worker and a reliable friend to many. His easygoing nature and gift for conversation were legendary — he could strike up a chat with just about anyone, anytime. He had a love for country life, horses and classic country music. He also had a reputation for being incredibly frugal, often joking that he was so tight he squeaked when he walked. His knack for finding a deal was unmatched, and it became a trait his family and friends fondly remember with a smile.
