James "Jim" Claud Holland died Thursday, Oct., 29, 2020, at the age of 73. Jim was born in April of 1947 in Seattle, Wash., to Mack and Shirley Holland. Jim married the love of his life, Judith Hansen in 1970, and together they raised three daughters, Karin, Andrea and Jamie.

Jim and Judy moved to Priest River in 1974, with Jim's parents and younger brother Steve and Steve's family. In 1979, the family opened Good Year Tire, now known as Les Schwab Tires. A few years later the family sold the tire business and opened Holland Construction. In 1984, Jim started his own concrete business that he operated for more than 35 years. During that time, he also was a fearless crab fisherman in Alaska, a job he was very proud of.

Jim loved to tell jokes and to make people laugh. In his younger years he enjoyed hunting for weeks at a time with friends deep in the mountains. In his later years he could be found watching old western movies and trading books at the old trading post in Sandpoint, as he was an avid reader.

Jim is preceded in death by his mother and father. He is survived by his wife Judy, brother Steve (Carol), and his daughters Karin (Dave) King, Andrea (John) Villani, Jamie (James) Lake and nine grandchildren.
