James L. Asher, 67, passed away peacefully at home on May 18, 2023 in O’Fallon, Missouri after battling cancer since 2020.

Jim was born January 10th, 1956 in Houston, TX. He spent most of his life in the suburbs of Cincinnati, Ohio until he moved to the St Louis area in 2018 to be closer to family. He was preceded in death by Shirley Asher (Mother) and Ken Asher (brother).

Jim was a loving father to his only child Kimberly McNulty (Steve) and loving husband to Peggy Asher. He was a cherished son to Carter and Karen Asher. He was a devoted and cherished grandfather to all his grandchildren, Meghan (28), Alex (26), Ryan (23) Ava (9), and Carter (9). He is also survived by his nephew Wyatt Asher (26).

Jim served in the Army after he graduating from High School. He loved veterans and all things America. He loved celebrating Memorial Day, Veterans Day and the Fourth of July. Jim was a hardworking man, devoting 30+ years working at the Cincinnati Bulk Mail center for USPS.

Saying that Jim loved football is an understatement. He watched almost every game and was so excited to see his grandson play a few flag football games. He talked football any chance he could get. He loved the Ohio State Buckeyes most of all. He cheered for his hometown team the Cincinnati Bengals and found a love for Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs.
