It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of James F. Borden, founder of Borden Accuracy, after a long and courageous battle with pancreatic cancer.
Jim built Borden Accuracy on a foundation of precision, quality, integrity, and craftsmanship. His dedication to the shooting community and to producing products our customers could trust was something he took great pride in.
As Jim’s health changed, he thoughtfully put plans in place for the future of Borden Accuracy Inc. In recent years, he had transitioned into more of a guidance role while his wife, Joan Borden, his oldest son, Jim Borden Jr., his daughter, Andrea Borden Mecca, and his son-in-law, Mike Mecca, took on the day-to-day operation of the business.
Borden Accuracy Inc will continue forward as Jim intended, maintaining the same precision, quality, and commitment our customers have trusted for years.
While we mourn the loss of our husband, father, grandfather, mentor, and founder, we are incredibly proud to carry on Jim’s legacy and the company he worked so hard to build.
We sincerely appreciate the kindness, support, and prayers shown to Jim and our family throughout his illness.
We will be sharing information regarding Jim’s memorial arrangements after we meet with the funeral director and those details have been finalized.
His legacy will continue in every Borden product that carries his name.
