James
James L. Selby
Jim passed away Saturday, April 18, 2020 at Spectrum Butterworth Hospital in Grand Rapids.
He was born July 2, 1967 in Plainwell, the son of Milton and Henrietta (Keech) Selby. Jim was a mechanic for several area businesses over the years. He was a jack of all trades and could fix anything. Jim enjoyed being outdoors and taking trips up north and out west to go hunting with his family and friends. He had a big and loud personality and liked riding his motorcycle, playing poker on the weekends and watching movies. Most of all Jim loved spending time and spoiling his grandchildren.
Surviving are his children, Ashlee (Robert) Rose and Tyler (Angel) Selby both of Otsego; grandchildren, Remington and Maverick; best friend, Peggy Selby; siblings, Marilyn (Glen) Rice, Dave (Annette) Selby, Kelly Selby, Candy (Tom)Burress and Mick Selby along with many nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents.
According to his wishes cremation has taken place.

He will be greatly missed. Best sense of humor. Could find a joke almost anywhere. Best brother you could have. He was always there if you needed him. We look forward to seeing him in Jehovah’s new system of things. Until we meet again he will be in our thoughts and prayers.
