James (Jim/JB) Bruce McVay passed away in his sleep on July 4, 2025. Jim was born on March 16, 1962, in Clay Center, Kansas to Marabeth and Robert Bruce McVay, joining his older sister, MaryAnn. The family moved to Omaha, Nebraska in 1978 where Jim remained for the whole of his life. He attended Westside High School and the University of Nebraska at Lincoln where he received a degree in Business Administration. He then continued on to Law School at UNL, graduating in 1987 with a Juris Doctor. He joined Tiedeman, Lynch, Kampfe, McVay & Respeliers in December 2001 where he specialized as a trial attorney in litigation cases.
Jim married Sandra Monge in 1988 and they had two sons together: Ryan in 1992 and Andrew in 1995. In addition to his devotion to his family and dedication to his work, Jim also was a Judge Advocate for the Cosmopolitan International organization and actively involved with the Nebraska Referee Development Program where he served as State Referee Administrator.
Jim lived every second to the fullest, was the ultimate multi-tasker and fortunately, was able to accomplish so much and impact so many people in the 63 years he was alive. He was preceded in death by his father, Robert Bruce McVay, but is survived by many loved family members.
