James Skaggs was truly one of a kind. One of his daughters shared this about her daddy, “Dad had a lot of health issues throughout his life that he fought hard, ultimately making him retire before he wanted to, therefore, leaving him without any employer life insurance or benefits. I remember Dad being so excited to turn 65 because that meant he was eligible for Medicare and supplement insurance. It also meant he didn’t have to pay out of pocket for his insulin anymore. It meant he didn’t have to rely on samples that were sometimes not available.

His medical bills are going to be coming in soon. In addition, the cost of whatever services the family is able to arrange. The financial burdens that are going to be left for our sweet Step Mama, Brenda are going to be overwhelming.

If you feel compelled and are able to donate, it would mean the world to our family. If you are unable, we understand, as we have all been there. BUT regardless, we ask that you pray for our family. Pray that the hurting stops just a little. Pray that we are somehow able to find peace.”
