James B. Wuebbels

James B. “Jim” Wuebbels, 54, of Mascoutah, IL, born Apr. 2, 1957 in Belleville, IL, died Thursday, Apr. 7, 2011.


As a teenager, Jim started working with his parents on their family farm and eventually took over the corporation with great pride. He always had a passion for life and new adventures, whether it was taking his Harley out for a spin or loading his boat up and cruising the lake. Free spirited and generous, he left a profound impact on everyone he came in contact with. He never met a stranger. Family always came first in Jim’s life, and nothing could ever come between him, his children, and the four newest loves of his life, his grandchildren. His special smile, calm demeanor, and love of life will forever hold an everlasting place in each and every one of his friends’ and family members’ hearts. He will forever be loved and never forgotten.
