James B. "Jim" Hendricks, 84, of Freedom, passed away peacefully on Saturday, April 1, 2023 in the comfort of his daughter's home.

Born on November 3, 1938, in Rochester, he was the son of the late George and Elizabeth (King) Hendricks.  Jim was preceded in death by two daughters; Darla and Baby Hendricks; and a brother, George Hendricks.

Jim had been a mechanic for the majority of this professional life.  He was a member of the New Hope Church and could often be found studying God's word.  He enjoyed going to car cruises, drag racing, and spending time with his family.  Jim had a heart of gold and was always eager to lend a helping hand.  He and his wife, June, were inseparable and she was the light of his life.
