Jim was one of a kind. He was strong in his convictions and passionate about life. He taught me how to negotiate as a young beginning farmer. My family sends out condolences to Jim’s family. He will be missed.

Dear Cousin Jim, Thanks fir being there fir us when we were kids living in Burley. I thought I would be a lawyer because of your influence, but my life took a different path. You had a wonderful life and blessed many of us with wonderful memories. Always, Nicolette

From Michelle Hunt:
Uncle James had a great loving heart and was a truly “fun” uncle who made great efforts to spend time together. I always enjoyed his company, sharing a ton of laughs. My memories are that he was easy to talk with and open to new adventures - incredibly resilient, loved to work hard, happily drove everywhere, gave me (and my kids) straight advice, enjoyed good food and sincerely loved his family. He was devoted in whatever he managed. I’ll miss him. It’s nice to know he’s reunited with his beloved son, Abraham - and having great belly laughs again with my dad, his brother, Leo. I’m thankful for Uncle James.
From Dina Carrell:
Cousin Jim, you will be missed. I remember walking around the wrap around porch at the family home when I was young. I enjoyed your visits to me at the Bingham Count Courthouse when I worked there and at the Stavros Family reunions in Haley.
From Alan Goodman:
Jim was a terrific person. He was a tremendous advocate for his clients. I enjoyed very much my association with Jim over the years. He had a wonderful sense of humor. I will miss my conversations and interactions with him. Bless him.
From Sonia Martinez :

From John Walsh in New York:
I thought Jim would live forever. And he almost did. He and I met 50 years ago on 16th Street when I gave him a ticket for driving 10 over. Naturally he took the ticket to court, and claimed that he had been "lulled and beguiled" by the author6 to believe that 10 over the limit was OK. He lost, but we became friends right then and often laughed about the "lulling" and "beguiling. " Jim was a great guy. A tremendous conversationalist.
From Salina Smith (Timmons(:
James was a great friend and lawyer for my parents. He was always a Go getter in everything he done. I never realized how old James was til I seen this.
I CAN'T believe it wasn't mentioned that he was proceed in death by his son Abraham (that boy was such a hoot)..
R.I.P James
From Sandra Albertson :

From Tim and Jana Darrington:
Our deepest sympathy to the family and friends of James Annest. He was our good neighbor and farm landlord for many years and we gained a deep affection for him. He was interested in the farm and supportive of Tim’s ideas in improving the land. He loved to talk politics, law, a bit of religion on occasion, and family. We looked forward to our visits and will miss our association with him.
