Jim graduated from Ludington High School in 1976. He married Jean Ann Stever in 1984. He worked in environmental services for Memorial Medical Center (Spectrum Health Ludington Hospital) for over 25 years and was so beloved that during his time, his coworkers dubbed Jim Vorac Day, a day to celebrate him and his hard work and dedication to being a team player.

Jim was a kind and loving man. He was a very talented fisherman, hunter, and outdoorsman. He was a very creative and detail oriented person. He could look at an object and go home a recreate it perfectly to his specific needs. In his spare time, Jim also greatly enjoyed his motorcycle, going for a drive, spending time with family and friends.

Jim was a lifetime member of the DBA (Dear Brothers Association), and a member of the Moose Lodge.
