Richard was born January 3, 1957, in Toledo, OH to Richard and Mary (Russell) Botts, Sr.
He worked as a machinist at the Jeep Manufacturing Plant, formerly Chrysler, in Toledo until his retirement in 2005.
Jim had a deep love for the outdoors and the open road. He enjoyed riding motorcycles, spending time on the lake on his boat, and casting a line while fishing.
Jim was a fierce Ohio State Buckeye fan and never missed an opportunity to cheer on the Buckeyes and his children’s alma mater. He also loved traveling to North Carolina to visit his kids and grandchildren.
Richard is survived by his children Matt (Shannon) Botts, Kelly Botts; his sister Barb (Jerry) Jensen; and his grandchildren Brynn Botts, Claire Botts, and Henry Botts.
He was preceded in death by his parents Richard and Mary Botts, and his sister Judy Zieman.
