Obituary: James Wyatt Edwards
6, 1937 - May 13, 2011

Jim Edwards, a lion of causes, great and small, a champion of education for all, a civic and staunch Christian leader, and a man of great principles and vision, passed away morning, May 13, 2011, three weeks and 3 days after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

To say that Jim was a visionary sounds trite, yet he seemed to often see beyond the things that others saw. A fellow educator and friend recently wrote, Jim. You always saw the possible and dared to make dreams into reality. You could see the big picture and looked at the horizon when those around you were looking at the ground for the next step.

Jim served North Texas in many capacities over the past 40 years including being elected Mayor of Plano for two terms in the late 70s and 80s, where he worked with H. Ross Perot to relocate EDS to Plano, as well as other corporate giants such as JC Penney and Frito-Lay. He helped save the George House, a historic Victorian structure from the wrecking ball, and it now sits as the centerpiece of Dallas Old City Park. Jim is credited for the approval of Collin Creek Mall, extending the Dallas North Tollway through to SH 121, the funding of SH 190 - the Bush Tollway, and establishing Planos Historical Landmark Commission among many other things.

Jim was the first chairman of the DART Board, and was one of the founding board members and interim chancellor of the Collin Community District. He was regional coordinator of Mike Huckabees successful Texas campaign in 2008, a foot-soldier for George W. Bush in Palm Beach , Florida in 2000, and a Collin delegate to the Republican National Convention in 2008.

As an educator and academician, Jim was a rare commodity. He came to North Texas in 1968 when he was 30 years old, with his quiver packed with two PhDs and two masters degrees, and he was hired as the chairman of accounting department at TCU. At 34, he moved to cross-town rival SMU, where he became one of the youngest tenured professors in the schools history. While serving as chairman of the accounting department, Jim became a director of the MBA program, and co-founded SMUs Executive MBA program. He left SMU in 1980 to take on the cause of saving Dallas Baptist University from the brink of bankruptcy. He worked with board members the legendary WA Criswell, Mary Crowley, and Don Carter to save DBUs accreditation and shore up the ailing institution. With that cause and many others complete, he left Texas in 1987 to answer a similar call for Union University in Jackson, Tennessee. Two years later he found himself in Hattiesburg, Mississippi on the doorstep of William y .

Jim was the President and CEO of William y for 7 years, and appointed Chancellor his last year. During his tenure, he reestablished WCCs accreditation, expanded the schools campuses in Gulfport and the nursing school in New Orleans, and vastly improved its arts programs, converting old military barracks in pottery kilns and studios, a project that was very dear to his heart. Jim doubled the schools enrollments and quadrupled its endowment base. Many alumni and benefactors of the school were skeptical of contributing to the ailing institution after years of troubled management, but agreed to step up with a vengeance if Dr. Edwards stayed on to manage their contributions and make the college a stable educational force in the South. So, he did, and the school remains one of the better private, faith-based, liberal arts colleges in the region.

retiring from William y and returning to Texas in 1997, Jim took on a whole new set of causes. Through his affiliation with Rotary International, he worked tirelessly to find homes for the Lost Boys of the Sudan, and distributed thousands of wheelchairs to the poor and impoverished in Kenya, Sudan and other countries in Africa, underprivileged seniors throughout the United States.

In addition to active participation in national political campaigns over the past decade, Jim worked along side his son Randy on numerous real estate projects. Yet through his focus on many faith-based initiatives, he stayed resolute in his commitment to the education of young people. As Director of External Relations for the non-profit organization Heart of a Champion, Jim was the passionate grass roots advocate for the character education of wayward teens and young adults seeking direction and mentoring. His most recent initiative was the Changing Hearts Project reaching children of combat veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan, providing life skills and character development as the family reenters life in the US after traumatic duty. He established groups that minister to violent criminals in prisons throughout the region, and helped those non-violent parolees find solace and direction when reengaging into society. Jim wrote grant proposals and made public appeals to raise money and create organizations to focus on the needs of those that wanted and needed an education, but somehow could not get it.

Jim grew up in Henderson, Kentucky, a small town near the confluence of the Ohio and Green Rivers, the son of a tradesman and God-fearing woman. He was industrious and goal oriented as a child, having a paper route and working for local grocers from the age of 7. He graduated high school and started college at age 16 after setting state records in long-distance running and typing skills. He mastered speed reading skills which led him to be a voracious reader, an extraordinary student and masterful learner of anything written. He met Gene when he was 20 years old and a student at Western Kentucky University in her hometown of Bowling Green. A stunning beauty and daughter of a local farming family, they married when he was 21 and she was 20, and Gene became the rudder of this flying machine continued...
