James M. "Jim" Bird, age 68, of Celina, passed away Thursday, September 5, 2024, at Celina Manor.
He was born September 23, 1955, in Van Wert, to Lloyde M. and Helen M. ( Railing ) Bird. His father preceded him in death October 29, 1985, his mother on April 5, 1988, and his brother, Richard D. "Dick" Bird, passed away August 12, 1999.

Jim had attended Cheryl Ann School and the CA Industries Workshop. He was a member of St. John Lutheran Church, Celina.
Jim loved fishing, animals - especially dogs, and enjoyed watching horse races. Craft activities that he enjoyed were: coloring, making plastic canvas needlecrafts, and wrapping coat hangers.
Jim was an avid Cincinnati Reds Baseball fan, and was looking forward to a Reds themed birthday party planned for him later this month.
Treats that Jim enjoyed were: cheeseburgers and onion rings from The Willow, and chocolate milkshakes from Celina Wine Store.
