Jim Coon

jenm Posted 5/25/2013 9:33 PM (#110210) Subject: Jim Coon New User Posts: 2 On behalf of his family, TFM Promotions, and Midwest Walleye Series, we wish to notify the sportsman community that Jim Coon, the president of TFM Promotions, is in grave health. Shortly after arriving at a rehabilitation facility on May 17th, Jim began suffering extreme breathing difficulties. The lack of sufficient oxygen ultimately resulted in his heart stopping. Although efforts to restart his heart were successful, he remains in a comatose state. We ask for your prayers and thoughts during this difficult time. Despite the unfortunate condition of Jim, TFM remains dedicated to providing enjoyable quality competitions, continuing the tradition that Jim established.
