He was born on Sept. 19, 1943 in Wapato, the son of Kenneth James and Evelyn M. (Carl) Beardslee. Jim was an enrolled member of the Yakama Nation and a descendent of the Muckleshoot Tribe.
Jim moved with his family to Daisy, where they resided for a short time before relocating to Arden. He attended grade school at St. Mary’s Catholic School in Chewelah and then transferred to Colville High School, where he graduated in 1961. Jim then moved to Spokane where he earned his Barber’s license at Moler Barber College in 1962. He returned to Colville, where he worked for Don Stratton at Don’s Barber Shop.
He would later purchase Don’s and rename the business Jim’s Barber Shop. He moved the business from south Main Street to Pinkney City Mall and eventually to its current location in the Barmans Building, bringing along the much loved children’s horse barber chair. At every location, it was often the center for information and a community hub for great conversation. His love of people complimented his life work as a dedicated barber and friend to his multi-generational clientele.

Judie M. (Young) Sinn on May 23, 1976 in Ione. Jim and Judie purchased his family’s orchard and started a shake and shingle mill on the property in the 1980s. Jim focused his attention on the new business for a time, eventually returning to the barber shop full-time. Jim approached his retirement by gradually reducing his hours until his health required full retirement in 2009 as he fought a courageous battle against cancer.
Jim loved the outdoors, especially time spent on and around the water. Jim and Judie fished year round from Twin Lakes near Inchelium to the Arrow Head and Kootenai Lakes in Canada. He enjoyed panning for gold, huckleberry picking, tying flies, and snowmobiling. He often reminisced of breaking horses with his uncles in the Yakima Valley and his work as an auxiliary officer with the Colville Police Department. His family found great support in his strong and big brotherly ways. The ever-present twinkle in his eye will be forever cherished.
