Jim D. Mythen of Heath Texas left this Earth to be with the Lord on Friday, February 18th, 2022. Jim passed away peacefully after battling severe lung disease and recurring pneumonia bravely and valiantly for many years.
Jim was born on December 15th, 1940, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Jim served his country in the Marine Corps Reserves for six years. He transitioned to a long and very successful career as an Operations Manager in the Photofinishing industry. He worked for multiple major companies over the years and specialized in operational turnarounds and making his plants profitable.
Jim was a Beloved Husband, Father, Grandfather, and Great Grandfather. His time that God granted him on this Earth was filled with fun, laughter, and love. He enjoyed spending time with his family and friends and supported his children and grandchildren in many ways throughout their lives. He had a wonderful sense of humor and loved to tease everyone. It was just one of the ways he showed love. He was passionate about sports, especially Oklahoma Sooners Football. He loved to go on extended cruises to amazing destinations with his wife, and they shared many thrilling adventures around the world together. Jim found great joy and peace being on the open ocean.
Jim is survived by his wife Kay Mythen, who he was married to for 59 years and was the love of his life; his son Mark Mythen, his wife Dianne, their daughter Mandy, daughter Shannon Garcia and her husband Ricardo; his daughter Kim Scott, her husband Jim, their son Jacob, son Jimmy and his wife Maddie, and their daughter Lumen; his son Scott Mythen, his wife Susan, and their daughters Josie and Mimi.

He is also survived by his sister Darlene Power and her husband Fred, and his sister Joni Weichbrodt and her husband Steve. Jim was preceded in death by his parents Joseph and Mable Mythen, his sister Delma Sanders and his brother Robbie Mythen.
Jim leaves behind an amazing legacy through his life, love, leadership, and all the lives he touched. He will be dearly missed by all those who knew and loved him. Jim is now soaring with the eagles and watching over us from Heaven.
