Jim Davitt who was popularly known as Papa Jims was an internet personality who was known for featuring Youtuber Danny Duncan in his youtube videos. Jim had been seen skinny dipping and quad biking in the videos showing how much he loved taking risks to make others happy.
Papa Jim and Duncan have been thought to be related but the two were not related at all. Papa Jim was the grandfather of Danny’s friend David Tomchinsky who currently works as an executive assistant for the Duncan brand.
