James Keith “Jim” Bain, 84, passed away, December 22, 2020 at Great Plains Health. He was born August 4th, 1936 in Grand Island, Nebraska to Estel and Minnie (Boulier) Bain. He moved to and was raised in Cozad, Nebraska.
He served in the US Navy until 1957, married Kay Ann McGuire in 1956, and moved from California to Kearney, Nebraska where they lived and raised six children until 1972.
He worked making glasses in Kearney until he became a licensed realtor. He continued working as a realtor, and then moved his family to North Platte in 1972, where he partnered with Gene Wiemers forming Wiemers and Bain Real Estate. He then went on to become a certified Appraiser and formed Jim Bain Appraisal Associates in 1974.
Jim was married to Kay for 54 years, until her death on September 7, 2010. He continued working fulltime until the time of his death, instilling in his kids that “Bain work ethic “. The things he loved most in life, were his family, his work, and Jack Daniels. Jim was an avid Husker fan and liked to golf. He was a people person and he always wanted to be busy doing things, going out to play pool, play poker, going to casinos and Las Vegas, and taking trips to visit his kids and grandkids. It was quite a source of pride to him that he was able to pass on his hard-earned business to his two remaining sons.
Jim married Michelle Woltemath on February 17, 2014 in Las Vegas and they were married until the time of his death.
He is preceded in death by his parents Minnie and Estel; two sisters, Virginia Binderup and Betty Shaw; his first wife, Kay Bain; and three sons, Kelly, Kris, and Paul.

Jim lived the philosophy of “Don’t sweat the small stuff “in life, he taught us to cut through the BS and just get on with it, well … that’s going to be a little harder without him around to remind us of that. Cheers Mr. Bain – We will miss you greatly.
