A little late with this news, Jim died April 1.

There's more info on the official forum, in case anyone is interested.

I think that is so sad. I saw it on the forum at the-waltons.com.

Jim-Bob was always the ugliest Walton.

What?? When? How? I never heard about this...

Just to clear up any confusion. David Harper, who played Jim-Bob didn't pass away, it was the person who his character was based on. It sounds like some of yall might be confused on that.

OK... I got it now...

Thanks for the clarification!!

It's still sad, but I am glad you explained it better.

What does that have to do with anything? This thread is about death not about beauty or ugliness.

I realize that this is an old post. So your saying the original 'Jim Bob' passed away. Not the person who played Jim bob on 'The Waltons'.

Was this person in any relation to Earl Hamner? Or was this someone who just happened to have the same last name as Earl?
