James Joseph “Jim” Becher, 72, passed away on Thursday, May 19, 2022, at his home in Sarah, MS.
Jim was born in Seaford, Delaware, on May 1, 1950, to Robert Paul and Jean Marie Becher. He was a member of First United Methodist Church in Senatobia, MS and was owner of Unified Waste Systems in Hernando, MS.
