He was born on September 1, 1948 in Niagara Falls, NY to L.D. Breeden and Christine Breeden Guard. He served as a grunt in the 3rd Battalion 5th Marines 1st marine division during the Vietnam War from 1967-70, fighting in the Tet Offensive.

He married Sandra Messick Breeden of Ellicott City, MD on June 23, 1985. They celebrated 29 years of marriage this summer.

He was active in the Colorado Springs community, serving as President of the Pikes Peak Lodging Association for six years and as treasurer of the Colorado Springs Visitors Bureau for four years. He often mentored local business owners and professionals in the community.

Jim had many interests, including driving his Jeep, hiking, mountain biking, cooking, enjoying fine wines and great beers, telling amazing stories, and spending time with his wife and daughters. A regimented man, he read his Bible and worked out nearly every day.
