Jim Roberts Trigg, age 48, of Longton, Kansas, passed away February 14, 2021 at his home.  He was born September 16, 1972 in Sedan, Kansas to Samuel and Martha (Jones) Trigg.

Jim grew up in Elk Falls, Kansas alongside one brother and two sisters.  He attended schools in Moline and Howard before graduating from Elk Valley High School in Longton in the Class of 1991.  After high school, Jim enlisted in the United States Army in October 1992 and served his country for four years as a Combat Engineer.  He served overseas in Saudi Arabia.

On June 22, 2009, Jim married Sandra Beasley in Miami, Oklahoma.  Together, they spent 11 years together enjoying their children and grandchildren and admiring some great scenery from the cab of his semi.  Over the last few years, Jim drove a semi for Stone, Lickity Split, Complete Heavy Haul, and most recently, Kodiak Transportation hauling oversized loads across the country.  He enjoyed driving his truck and was known to pull off the road sometimes just to enjoy the scenery for awhile.

Family was important to Jim, especially his grandchildren.  He loved to see them happy, and if they needed something, he would do everything in his power to make it happen.  He was a member of the Community Christian Church in Longton, Kansas and OOIDA, a truckers association.

Jim is survived by his wife, Sandra of the home; his children, Brandon Clarkson, Emily Trigg, Samantha Trigg, Hannah Trigg, and Lisa Purgason; his father, Sam Trigg; his brother, David Trigg; his sisters, Nina Teska and Mary Torres; three grandchildren, Kyndall, Brantly , and Colton; nieces and nephews, Crystal, Amanda, Talisa, Megan, Natalie, Ana, and Charlie; and great-nieces and great-nephews, Amber, Chloe, and Samuel.  He was preceded in death by his mother, Martha Jane Trigg.
