James William Ashe (Jim) of Granite Falls was born on May 12th, 1946. He passed away on February 28th, 2021 after a long battle with cancer at the age of 74.
He graduated from Bothell High School in 1964. He worked as a radio broadcaster in the northwest and was the producer of the Everett Home and Garden Show. Jim loved music, played jazz and blues guitar, had a passion for sports (especially the Seahawks), and was an avid adventurer including hiking, backpacking and kayaking. He leaves behind his wife Vickie of 48 years, two daughters Jimiane Ashe (H. James Elisalda) and Gwyn Gretchen Ashe (Patrick Sexton), and three siblings Greg Ashe (Donna), Gary Ashe, Nancy Ashe, a large extended family, and many friends. He was preceded in death by parents James Robert and Marjorie Ashe and brother Randy Ashe. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, a memorial will be held at a later date. We wish to thank the Providence Regional Cancer Partnership for their care and support. In lieu of flowers or gifts to the family, please donate to the Sno-Isle Libraries or your local PBS station.

I'm so sad to hear about Jim. He always radiated warmth and so much brightness in his personality. Wishing all of you, his dear family, friends, and classmates much Peace and Comfort.

Jim, boy, fun guy. Only knew him for two years at BHS. We cruised some together, had some party time. He played some good basketball. Most of all, he was always chilling. Liked him a lot. Then we graduated. I have never seen him since. Hopefylly some of you were able to at least talk to him. And now that cannot happen.
i am happy that appears to have had a good life, doing what he wanted to do. RIP Jim. I hope to see you on the other side.

Jim and I not only shared our first names but shared many fun times. We lost track after high school. I was really fond of Jim. He was well liked by all. I was fortunate to have him as a friend. So sorry to see him go. My condolences to his family.

So sad. to hear of Jim's passing. Jim and his family were neighbors of ours in Kenmore and he and my brother , RT, would play basketball and hang out. He surely left us too soon. Thoughts and prayers go out to the Ashe family.

Sad to hear of Jim's passing. He was a class act, a great representative of our class.
May the Lord surround the family with His presence during their time of loss.

Jim was a good friend. The leading scorer on our Bothell High School basketball team, with a great and very likeable personality, he was liked by everybody and he was a good friend to all.
We didn't hear much, if anything, from Jim after High School. I did, however, have the pleasure of working with his Mom, Marjorie, at United States Fidelity & Guaranty. What a delightful lady. She was our Executive Secretary. A funny little story: When I was named the youngest regional superintendent in the company, Marjorie told me that Jim said he should have gone into the bond underwriting business. He was just kidding, of coarse, but that was the last time I heard of Jim. In the meantime, he was becoming a successful radio broadcaster, producer, and continuing to enjoy sports, music, and the outdoors.
We are all so saddened to hear of the loss of our dear Jim, but thankful that he had a good life, doing what he enjoyed. God bless his soul and God bless his family and all of his friends!
