Jim Ebeler, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend, passed away peacefully on September 7, 2024, in Saint Peters, Missouri, at the age of 66. Born on July 18, 1958, in Saint Louis, Missouri to William L. & Dolores M. (Hynes) Ebeler, Jim lived a life filled with love, adventure, and a deep commitment to his family and friends.

For 30 years, Jim proudly served as a lineworker Chrysler, where his work ethic and commitment to quality were emblematic of his character.

Jim was known for his generosity, always willing to give the shirt off his back to anyone in need.

Outside of work, Jim embraced life’s pleasures through his many hobbies and interests. He cherished moments spent fishing, boating, golfing, hunting, and barbequing. An enthusiastic sports fan, he was often found on his deck watching his favorite sports teams and yelling at the refs.

His legacy continues through his two grandchildren, Jameson and William Goggin, who brought immeasurable joy to his life.
