James R. Wiggins, 55, of Superior, passed away Sunday, Feb. 17, 2013.

He was born Nov. 4, 1957 in Duluth to John W. and Mary P. (Pflum) Wiggins.

He graduated from Cloquet High School in 1976. Jim had been a car salesman for Krenzen's and North Country Auto Exchange and was currently working in the Wal-Mart Deli in Cloquet. He was an avid collector of "Treasures" from old memorabilia to coins and other unique odds and ends. Jim loved reading unusual books about a wide variety of things. Every Friday you could find him out at garage sales. He was forever adding to his collections. Jim was a very engaging man and everyone enjoyed talking to him. He was fun spirited, had a million watt smile, and a boisterous laugh.

Jim was preceded in death by his father.

He is survived by three children, Jason Wehr, Kristie (Roger) Petersen, and Jimmy Wiggins; his mother, Mary Wiggins; three grandchildren, Zack, Alex and Ariel Petersen; and special friends, Lara Vekich and her daughter Ericka and her children Natalie and Cason.

VISITATION: 2 p.m. Friday, Feb. 22, 2013 until the 3 p.m. memorial service in Nelson Funeral Care in Cloquet, followed with a luncheon in the fellowship room. See the family online guest book at www.nelsonfuneralcare.net.

I worked with Jim for a couple of years. He was one of the nicest people I have ever met. He would listed and care about others so much. It often seemed he cared about others concerns more than his own. He also talked very possitively about his son. After not working with him I would run into him around town and it was always an awesome experience just to see him and shake his hand. My prayers go out to his family and the many people who miss him. God Bless you Jim. Thanks for being a friend.
