Mr.Chavers was a great next door neighbor to us for all the years we lived on Duffy St. Him and his wife were always kind and helpful. Peace to him and his family. Always, Don Newman

David, I have enjoyed reading all the wonderful notes that people have written about Mr. Jim. I know how proud that you and your family are when you think of your Dad's many accomplishments. Bless you all during this time of transition. Prayers for all of you.

I had the honor of meeting Jim at an Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) Meeting in Savannah. As a Marine Vietnam Veteran, as I listened to his WWII experiences, I was captivated. I worked with members of the FOP to get him to the State Capitol in Atlanta where we honored him on February 19, 2014, the 69th anniversary date of the Iwo Jima invasion, with House and Senate resolutions. After I introduced him in the House and gave an overview of his life and military background, the Clerk of the Court read the resolution. He received four standing ovations. Then, all 180 members off the House waited in line to have their photo made with him. As I walked him over to the Senate to meet with Senator (now Congressman) Buddy Carter, he told me what an honor it had been. I told him, "you were the one who honored us!" He was one of the last members of the "Greatest Generation" and he touched my heart. May God bless and keep you Jim. Semper Fi!

Dear Family Members, It was such a blessing to know your Dad and Mom and your family all those years at Immanuel. They were a major part of our church and were loved by all that knew them. We will be praying for all of you. You all can be truly proud of their legacy. Much love and prayers.

Sandy, Davy & Jimmy: It is with a heavy heart that we must say goodbye to our loved, Jim. He was a wonderful person, who always took care of others to the best of his ability. He always added much to our family gatherings (He was my brother-in-law). He was blessed with a great sense of humor and loved traveling (which he visited 49 states) taking pictures, and spending time with his beloved wife, June. He was an honored Veteran of The Battle of Iwo Jima during WWII in which he took great pride. We want to Thank Him for his service to our Great America and for his devotion to his family. May he Rest in Peace with his Lord and adored wife. You had much to be proud of in your Father. God bless you all.

- Judy N. Rivers, Estill, SC

I would like to extend my sincere condolences for the loss of your father. He was one of the last of the greatest generation. His service and life are greatly appreciated and admired.

Jim was a Patriot from Birth to his Dying Breath. I remember 2 years ago, when we were refurbishing/painting American Legion (Chatham) Post 36, you were as busy and active as us Younger Veterans, and it was an inspiration to me, and I am hopeful that I am as Active and have such a Keen Mind as yours when I reach my Elder years. You will always be remembered for your Valor and Strength at Iwo Jima, and your entire Life after WWII. May you rest in Peace in our Lords Celestial Paradise. Semper Fi...

Sandy. David and Jimmy: We were saddened to learn of the passing of your father. Jimmy was a Customs inspector that I had the pleasure of working with and reminiscing about our work at the Savannah docks. We had occasions to participate in other activities together and talked about our different military experiences. Jimmy was a friend that I am honored to have known and will always remember him.

My father, Frank J. Lang, always spoke proudly of Jim Chavers. I was fortunate to meet and speak to Jim on several occasions. His devotion to his family, and his service was reflected by a smile on his face. He was not one to brag ,although his service record on duty, and then with the Veterans Associations was easy to praise. May he rest in peace.
